I give up, it’s time to throw in the towel on the HomePod set up in my house and just go get cheap Sonos speakers from IKEA. 😮‍💨 It’s hilarious Sonos does a better job at implementing AirPlay than Apple, I’ve had so many issues trying to play to multiple speakers over the past two years. 😱

Finished reading: The Unlikely Heir by Jax Calder 📚
★★★☆☆

Fun, light, fluffy…with just a hint of substance, this book was a fun read. 🏳️‍🌈

Follow-Up: The package was found in the bushes below my house, next to the sidewalk…completely soaked and disfigured from the rain. 🌧️ I’m guessing the steps were just too much for the delivery person, all ten of them. 😅 Also, there is no way that box can fit in my mailbox, so again, someone lied.

🍿 Tonight’s feature film was an old family favorite: Christmas Vacation. 🎄
★★★☆☆

So, either Amazon is lying, the US Post Office is lying, or someone has taken my new Kindle from my mailbox. 😭📭

Finished reading: Dead Tired by Ravens Dagger 📚
★★☆☆☆

A fun, if silly read, with a lot of puns. 😆 It presents an interesting intersection between science and magic but I wish there was a little more details into the magic system.

Pretty decent veggie burger, especially this far out of the City. 🤣🍔📷

🍿 Another favorite, tonight we watched White Christmas. 🎄

Currently Listening: A Holiday Carole by Carole King. 🎵🎄

First heard Carole on Gilmore Girls and then bought her compilation album at University. When I went home over the Holiday break and I was listening to it, my mother expressed shock because she listened to Carole when she was my age. 🤣

Moved 18.3 TB of data from my Storage server to my Media server; gotta love the “rsync -va --progress” command! 💻🤓 #HappyGeek

🍿 Kicking off the winter movie season with You’ve Got Mail, which is an old Holiday favorite of ours. 🎄

We put up the tree last night, with one of my favorite ornaments in a place of prominence. 🎄 We bought more than a few of these beauties in 2020, giving them to a number of Friends. 🤣 📷

Finished reading: Imperial Wizard: Ambitions by J Parsons 📚
★★☆☆☆

Somewhat predictable, the second book in the series continues right where the first left off. Events turn out for the best but more than a few questions are raised about how things will go in the future. 🤭

Rainy day + lazy cat = nap time 😹💤🐈📷

★★☆☆☆

This was a fun read, a magic users sleeps through what seems to be many cataclysms, awaking to a changed world, one where no one else knows how to use his type of magic.
