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

  • 📷 The Garmin I referenced yesterday:

    A Garmin Venu 3S smartwatch box is placed on a table with a puzzle and a few autumn leaves. A smartwatch with a black strap is displayed in an open box on a table covered with a music-themed puzzle and accompanied by autumn leaves.

    I tend to “fall in love” pretty fast with new tech gadgets…and past is prologue in this case; I just hope the infatuation with this new “watch” sticks. 🤣

  • For the first time since 2016, I’m not wearing an Apple Watch. 😬 Tired of dealing with mediocre battery life and wanting better health metrics, I’ve decided to give Garmin a try again. 🤯

  • 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. 😆🇫🇷

  • Finished reading: The Dark Healer: Book #1 by Nadya Lee 📚
    ★★★☆☆

    This book was a surprise, I wasn’t really expecting much from it but I was wrong; the story is fascinating with an twist on the intersection of modern technology and magic, I’m excited for the next one. 😁

    A man in a forest confronts a large, growling beast with a glowing green aura, set against the backdrop of a dark, enchanted woodland, featuring the title The Dark Healer #1 by Alex Toxic and Nadya Lee.

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

    The story felt a bit rushed in places and the ending is a gigantic cliffhanger, I’ll obviously have to read the next book in the series when it comes out. 🤣😮‍💨

    A person stands bravely with a glowing whip facing a massive winged wolf amidst ancient ruins.

  • Finished reading: A Line In The Stars by Sean Fenian 📚
    ★★★☆☆

    The final book in the series, the ending was predictable but how the story got there was not…it was a pretty satisfying conclusion. 😊

    A futuristic spacecraft or space station is depicted with text overlay for A Line in the Stars, part of The Stardock Trilogy, Book 3 by Sean Fenian.

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

    A minimalist smartphone home screen display features a dark background with a list of app names on the right and four app icons at the bottom.

  • Congratulations Apple, I will never again buy AirPods from you.

  • Apple: “it just works." …until it doesn’t and then you have to fight tooth and nail to get ahold of anyone who will actually help you. 😱

  • Burning the midnight oil, trying to hammer out a few more unit tests. 🥱

  • Trying to get my legal affairs in order (aka, a will and medical power of attorney)…and a law office I talked with wanted a $10,000 deposit / retainer. 😱 WTF…it’s just a few hours of work, my life isn’t that complicated… 😮‍💨

  • Covid and flu vaccines acquired. 😷

  • Smoking right next to the gas pump as you fill up your massive truck that’s clearly never seen a spec of dirt in its existence…I’m starting to think natural selection might be a thing. 🤔😔
