  • We went to see the lights at the local botanical gardens this weekend, it was a fantastic evening and the lights were gorgeous; will be posting photos in a day or three… 🎄📷

    Glowing sign (it says 'GLOW') behind a series of shrubs and in front of trees and light posts.

  • My HomeKit set up has been rock-solid for years but the minute I added a Matter plug (the “Meross Matter Smart Plug Mini”), everything breaks…and as it’s Apple land, where everything works perfectly until it doesn’t, fixing it is going to be…unpleasant. 😱😭

  • 🍿 Decided on a second movie tonight: The Holiday Sitter. 🎄 It’s a silly Hallmark holiday movie but it’s rather adorable and kinda nice to see my people represented in the genre. 🏳️‍🌈 We’ll be adding this to our Holiday movie rotation.
    ★★★★☆

  • 🍿 Full of mac ‘n cheese, in honor of Kevin’s meal during the movie. This is my Partner’s favorite movie, even after more than 30 years, it has reviewability. 🎄
    ★★★☆☆

  • Finished reading: Second Hand by Heidi Cullinan 📚
    ★★★☆☆

    This was a re-read, from many years ago (it was one of the first e-books I bought, this story is light and fluffy with a predictable ending…and an adorable puppy. 🏳️‍🌈 Book cover art for Second Hand.

  • I walked into the bedroom and he turned around to glare at me; evidently interrupting his bird watching wasn’t the best of ideas… 🤣 📷 🐈

  • Follow-Up: The IKEA Sonos speaker is working perfectly (which is more than I could ever say of the HomePod Mini stereo set up) this morning; holiday music is flooding the room whilst I’m debugging some legacy Java code. 🤓🎄 (Yes, I had a spare speaker lying around… 🤣) 📷

    Christmas tree with lights and one ornament at the top (a photo frame with no photo for privacy purposes), in front of a record player, with the end of a lamp on the right side of the photo. An IKEA Sonos speaker is on top of the record player, with an 'Ella' record in the middle and a series of objects is on the left side of the record player: three Nintendo amiibo figures (Link, Bowser, and Bokoblin), a Lego penguin, a Jesus stature, and a N64 Lego cube. On top of the cube is a HomePod mini, along with two of the amiibo, and a dried pink rose.

  • 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. 🎄
