Update 📰

  • ☕️ At the Toyota dealership, getting my current car looked at for its trade-in value…and drinking a cup of coffee for the first time in over a week. 😆 I’m sure I’ll be bouncing off the walls shortly. 🤪

  • I haven’t had to worry about insurance for a couple years now, my current employer had the best plan I’ve ever seen. Found out this week my company is being “merged” with another (aka, we’re being acquired) and our insurance costs are going to sky rocket. 😱😤😭 #Screwed #FirstWorldProblems

  • Working from home has advantages and disadvantages…but it’s lovely watching the snow fall without having to worry about driving into work. ☃️❄️😁

  • Recently gotten back into music and I’m loving Plexamp. 🎶🎵🎼

  • A bowl of green curry with vegetables and tofu is placed on a table, accompanied by a spoon.

    Met up with some old friends / former coworkers for tasty Thai food and some venting. 😋😮‍💨 📷

    Two spring rolls are served on a decorative blue and white plate. A plate of rice is topped with a creamy green curry sauce and garnished with various vegetables.

  • Taking refuge with music from my past, when things were easier and the world seemed simpler. 😮‍💨 🎵

  • 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. 😃😅🇺🇸

  • 🎮 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. 😭

  • Took a late lunch break and went for a walk to clear my head and get some sun. 🍂🚶🏼‍♂️

    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! 🎮 …I just couldn’t resist revisiting my childhood. 🤣

    A retro gaming console with a cartridge inserted is surrounded by additional game cartridges and a controller.

  • 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. 🎃☕️ 📸

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

  • My insurance wouldn’t refill a prescription, so Walgreens offered to fill it for me without insurance…the price: $256. 💊 The same medication / dosage at Costco: $10. 😱😡😤 Gotta love healthcare in ‘Murica. 🇺🇸

  • 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. 😆🇫🇷

  • I haven’t really been happy with my phone Home Screen for a while, so…I’m trying a minimalist approach. 📱
