  • 📷 Two Thanksgivings down…I’m honestly not sure how many more to go at this point… 😭🤣

    Various Thanksgiving food (stuffing / dressing, salad, potatoes, cranberry sauce, roll) on a paper plate, with a fork.

  • Brunch for two this morning, my breakfast companion was rather hungry 🤣 (only the one of those plates are for me). 🍳📷

    Four plates full of breakfast food, with an omlet, hashbrows, biscuits / gravey, french toast, two servings of tots, and toast...along with two glasses of water and a cup of coffee in a paper cup.

  • Finished reading: Loremaster by M.E. Robinson 📚
    ★★★☆☆

    Another one in the LitRPG genre, I was pleasantly surprised by this book; it started off slow but I became very invested in the story relatively fast. The class / magic system isn’t as well defined as other books but it’s a very good read. 👍🏻

  • Yes, finally got an @atpfm@mastodon.social pint glass! Quest completed! 🤓

  • Finished reading: Rune Seeker by J.M. Clarke & C.J. Thompson 📚
    ★★★☆☆

    Stumbled upon this book and started/finished it in two days. If you’re a ga(y)mer or enjoy LitRPG as a genre, you’ll love this book. The magic system is fascinating, as is the backstory/history of the world in the book. 👍🏻

  • I realize I have an old Kindle (it’s the first version of the Paperwhite) but would it really be so hard for Amazon to auto-sync the time on the device like every other network connected device in the modern age? 🤣

  • My various UPS’s (uninterrupted power supply) weren’t cheap, especially the giant one powering my server rack, but every time my street has an outage, I’m very happy I have them. 🔋🔌😁

  • Random Thought: Does anyone know how fast new books will show up in Bookshelves feature of Micro.Blog after they’re added into Open Library? 📚

  • Slowly starting the process of moving my domains away from Google. 🤞🏻

  • ⌚️ Apple Watch Update: After it crashed at breakfast, I just got a “you’re almost out of battery” notification…and it’s only been three hours since I put it on. 🤬🪫 I’m still paying for this piece of junk… 😱😖

  • Another day, another issue with watchOS 10.1 on the Apple Watch Ultra v1. I have never been this disappointed in an Apple product before. ⌚️😱 Two hardware resets and the issues still persist.

  • 🎵 Yes, I know it’s too early for holiday music but it’s been a rough year…and it’s Cher, so the rules don’t apply. 🏳️‍🌈

    Bring on the holiday music! 🎄

  • He really does look rather regal here but I think he’s trying to lure me into a false sense of security; I still think Alex is upset about the continuing construction in the house. 😼🐈📷

  • 📷 Going on a walk during the lunch break always helps clear my head. 🙃

  • 🍿 As it’s Halloween, of course we’re watching The Nightmare Before Christmas. 🎃
    ★★★★☆

    Jack Skeleton looks at a giant snowflake he's holding in his hand, a screen grab from the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas.

    I suspect I’m going to start decorating for Christmas tomorrow; it’s been a rough year and I could use the extra “holiday” time. 🎄

  • This has to be the buggiest version of WatchOS I’ve ever used. 😭 Even after an erase / reset, the battery is draining too fast. The heart rate complication doesn’t work anymore. Now I can’t get into the widgets, which means a restart. What is going on at Apple?! 😱

  • Took three weeks but the burial is over, the slide show is done, and everyone cried; I feel like I can finally start grieving now. 💔 On the plus side, I did get to hang out with my cousins today, which was lovely, along with some aunts and other family. 😁

    Goodbye Grandma, I’ll miss you always. ❤️

  • Random Thought: Yea, this sounds about right, once the price is outside of what most “normal” people would consider reasonable, piracy increases… 🏴‍☠️

    Screen grab of a Tweet from Tom Warren, with the following verbiage: if Apple TV, Netflix, and Disney+ keep raising prices then it will only force more people into piracy. It's already surprising how many in the UK use modified Fire TV sticks to access pirated TV shows and movies

  • Yup, he’s still not happy with the construction…it’s almost done but I can tell he’s plotting our downfall. 😼😹🐈📷

  • It was just starting to feel like autumn but this week…not so much. 🍂
