  • Voting was more convenient when the polling place was a couple blocks away from our house but today I took a long lunch break to walk a mile to go vote; the walk did me good and kept me from looking at the news. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

  • Feels like it should be an hour later than it is right now…oh, right… ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

  • ๐ŸŽฎ Sadly, I was forced to cancel my Analogue 3D order, some unexpected expenses have recently reared their ugly heads:

    • Dryer is on it’s last leg
    • Car issues (both of them)
    • Vet bills
    • The outside faucet needs to be fixed

    For the time being, I’ll just have to limit myself to software emulation. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

  • Took a late lunch break and went for a walk to clear my head and get some sun. ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

    A lush tree with autumn leaves is backlit by the sun, accompanied by stats from a Garmin walking activity showing a distance of 3.67 miles, a time of 1:02:15, and a pace of 16:59 per mile.

    Side note: I’m really digging my new Garmin and I love it doesn’t need to be charged every day.

  • Just per-ordered the Analogue 3D! ๐ŸŽฎ …I just couldn’t resist revisiting my childhood. ๐Ÿคฃ

  • Oh how I hate coming into the Apple Store (selling back my Apple Watch); I donโ€™t know why they hate lines but when youโ€™re told to go stand โ€œby that tableโ€ and then no one comes to help you, itโ€™s incredible frustrating. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ โŒš๏ธ

  • ๐Ÿฟ Friends came over tonight and after hearing the list of “scary” options we had, they picked Ghostbusters instead of Hocus Pocus…and I have no complaints (especially as we watched Hocus Pocus last weekend with a different group of friends ๐Ÿ˜†).

    A promotional poster for the movie Ghostbusters features the iconic ghost logo with the tagline Who Ya Gonna Call? at the top.
  • Out shopping for tonight (having friends over to watch Hocus Pocus) and stopped by a local coffee shop for my annual pumpkin spice latte; the name of the shop might have changed but it still looks just like it did when a friend of mine and I would frequent it for breakfast back in the day. ๐ŸŽƒโ˜•๏ธ ๐Ÿ“ธ

    A few weeks ago, my Partner and I tried out a new (to us) Mexican restaurant, with some interesting decor. ๐Ÿ˜† The food was tasty, we’ve been back more than a few times since. ๐ŸŒฎ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝ

  • Woke up to frost on the ground…not sure I’m ready for winter just yet. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿฅถ

  • ๐Ÿ“ท The Garmin I referenced yesterday:

    A Garmin Venu 3S smartwatch box is placed on a table with a puzzle and a few autumn leaves. A smartwatch with a black strap is displayed in an open box on a table covered with a music-themed puzzle and accompanied by autumn leaves.

    I tend to “fall in love” pretty fast with new tech gadgets…and past is prologue in this case; I just hope the infatuation with this new “watch” sticks. ๐Ÿคฃ

  • For the first time since 2016, I’m not wearing an Apple Watch. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Tired of dealing with mediocre battery life and wanting better health metrics, I’ve decided to give Garmin a try again. ๐Ÿคฏ

  • My insurance wouldn’t refill a prescription, so Walgreens offered to fill it for me without insurance…the price: $256. ๐Ÿ’Š The same medication / dosage at Costco: $10. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ค Gotta love healthcare in ‘Murica. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

  • There is something cute / fun / odd about listening to a podcast and suddenly hearing French when they get to an advertising / commercial break…I guess I forgot to turn off my VPN last night. ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท
