First and only peppermint mocha of the holiday season, from the “big” coffee chain. ☕️📷

📷 Two Thanksgivings down…I’m honestly not sure how many more to go at this point… 😭🤣

Brunch for two this morning, my breakfast companion was rather hungry 🤣 (only the one of those plates are for me). 🍳📷

Finished reading: Loremaster by M.E. Robinson 📚

Another one in the LitRPG genre, I was pleasantly surprised by this book; it started off slow but I became very invested in the story relatively fast. The class / magic system isn’t as well defined as other books but it’s a very good read. 👍🏻

Yes, finally got an @atpfm@mastodon.social pint glass! Quest completed! 🤓

Finished reading: Rune Seeker by J.M. Clarke & C.J. Thompson 📚

Random Thought: Does anyone know how fast new books will show up in Bookshelves feature of Micro.Blog after they’re added into Open Library? 📚

Slowly starting the process of moving my domains away from Google. 🤞🏻

⌚️ Apple Watch Update: After it crashed at breakfast, I just got a “you’re almost out of battery” notification…and it’s only been three hours since I put it on. 🤬🪫 I’m still paying for this piece of junk… 😱😖

Another day, another issue with watchOS 10.1 on the Apple Watch Ultra v1. I have never been this disappointed in an Apple product before. ⌚️😱 Two hardware resets and the issues still persist.

So I did a thing: I wrote my first Micro.Blog plugin. 🥳 It’s nothing fancy, just another image generator but, as I was in the process of migrating the content from my old blog to here, I realized I had already created one in my Hugo instance…all I needed to do was port it over to GitHub … read more

🎵 Yes, I know it’s too early for holiday music but it’s been a rough year…and it’s Cher, so the rules don’t apply. 🏳️‍🌈

Bring on the holiday music! 🎄
