Update 📰

🚶🏼 Finally getting over my head cold (second one of the year, yay 😔) and decided to get out of the house for a light stroll over my lunch break; sunshine and flowers are great for the body and soul. 📷

🎮 Fired up the Switch to take a stroll down memory lane; showing my age but I remember playing the original Final Fantasy on the NES, back in the day. 🤣

I’m enjoying the remake, the quality of life improvements (such as being able to save anywhere) make it feel a little bit more modern. 📷

Finished up my taxes on my lunch break and realized this is the first time since I started filing taxes I didn’t wait until April to file. 🫨

I now own a single share of Nintendo stock…for no reason, other than the 12 year old me is happy to own a tiny piece of one of my favorite companies. 🤣🎮

Good grief, filling out taxes is just rough (unless you like that sort of thing 🤪) but at least Fidelity is fast to answer messages and phones. 🤣

Yea…completely forgot there was a big sports event today… 🤣

Everything seems to be getting more expensive, even a family subscription of Office 365. ☹️ At least one can get three months free when buying the subscription through Costco. 😂

There is something rather satisfying about doing a “pave / nuke” on your Mac, my M2 Air is blazing fast again…and I can once again use WiFi! 🎉🛜

OMG…just listened to what is apparently the last episode of @coreint. 😭 I’m going to miss @manton and @danielpunkass talk about tech and the indie web, it’s been one of my favorite ways to relax on a Sunday with a cup of coffee. ☕️🎧

Yesterday was all about maintenance on my UnRaid server and today is rebuilding my MacBook Air; I can’t figure out my networking issues, so I’m starting from scratch. 🤣😂🤪 #nerd

Made a big batch of chili in November and froze most of it…heating up some of it tonight for dinner. 🌶️🍲 😋🤤 📷

It’s never fun driving on snowy roads (especially when the snow is still coming down) but I’m so glad I spent the extra money to get all-wheel drive for my new car. Some person nearly sideswiped me while they were putting on makeup (who does that?!) but my car handled it just fine. ❄️🚗💄

🌨️ Part of me wishes our region had more snow; we get so little, when it happens, everyone seems to loose their mind and panic. 😮‍💨

Even the the @CARROT@mastodon.social bot seems to be loosing it’s mind…but then, it is a sometimes homicidal weather robot…so who can tell? 🤣🤷🏼

Just went to the library for the first time since University. 📚🤓 📷

Experiencing the oddest tech issue of my life: my Mac Air won’t connect to some domains, including ”captive.apple.com” which means I can’t get on this crappy hotel WiFi. 😭🤷 It might be time for a nuke ‘n pave… 😱
