Hi people of #Mastodon Good Day 💖 Hope you all are staying hydrated & drinking enough glasses of water 🥺🙏🏼 Guys, I can't stand-up nor walk properly due to an accident happened in my foot 😭 I'm very down and helpless 😢 If there is anyone there that could help me out even just for getting food for my cats, I would gladly appreciate it 🙏🏼🥺 Please..
I woke with anxiety #today. I often do and am learning how better to deal with it. I have to lead a meeting with my new team later this morning. Could be simple social anxiety but may be connected with other concerns about being a new employee.
I've tapped into my equanimity and deployed some tools. I am good, if not happy or excited. At all events, I will feel better after the meeting. And hopefully have another experience to help tame that specific anxiety.
Awoke with a headache and stiff neck after a fitful night. Advil and Arnika should help. How I'd love to have an uninterrupted nights rest. I'd gladly settle for more than 2 hours at a clip. On the plus side, was greeted by a thunderstorm when I awoke. Just a gentle rain with occasional rumbles; nothing extreme (they're due this afternoon). Hope to #focus on finishing a few tasks which I started yesterday but wasn't into them so moved on. Aah, #coffee is ready, have a good day. #Today#Sleep
I've got a grocery run to do before rain comes through. The summer tourist season is about to begin, so it's time to start the habit of doing errands in the middle of the week. Roads and stores around here are too busy on the weekends, including Fridays.
Each year we adjust our use of the beaches + restaurants as we share with the visitors that keep our local economy going. We grin + bear it and breathe a sigh of relief when Labor Day rolls around.
Good morning, lovely people! The bird feeder is quite busy this morning. On the book: tape and trace the Persephone dress (thinking about the play suit version) from Made for Mermaids, assemble a casserole, wash bed linens. #today#birding
Another opportunity for chaos as the workmen who were supposed to start Tuesday rescheduled the work.
I'm keeping my expectations low and on the negative side of "this fine." With any luck, it will only be noisy while they pound on the house and they won't find anything hidden.
Otherwise, a baking day. Bread is rising in its pans. A day where the goal becomes very simple.
Get through it.
I hope you're able to stay focused on your goals #today
I did not have the reserves to visit my favorite local taproom #today. I used the time well, to craft more guidance for my coworkers as we are seeking traction on our first project together.
I say spent well because I resisted pressuring myself. I realized belatedly my plan for the day would take longer than I had. I used some positive re-appraisal to figure out what I could accomplish that would still help with in a team meeting tomorrow.
This morning, I talked myself out of installing #linux as I thought of all the scenarios which I would need Windows. It irked me quite a bit, Dual Booting is certainly an option; as I have invested a large chunk of my digital life on Windows, I would spend a lot of time on the Windows partition because so many programs are easier to run on that OS.
Investing in an iMac or Mac Mini would be a safer option. As I wouldn't be using Windows, I could keep access to my iPhone troubleshooting tools.
I'm shocked that an iMac costs less than my Windows PC after tax. I could even come up with the capital to fund that purchase (a small chunk of change from my 401K). Not using Windows is my goal, but I will go about it in a different way, it seems. I do worry about the security of Mac OS, but realistically, I am a pretty safe internet user.
Good Wednesday morning! Waking up to a gorgeous morning. It occurs to me that Memorial Day weekend is coming up + I'll need to pick up some groceries before the tourists descend. Tomorrow is supposed to be cloudy, so I'll put it off until then. That opens up more porch time.
No weeding today. After finding a tick on me last night I'm taking a break! 😬
It's going to be a busy day at the birdbath, with the 80F temperatures, so I'm headed out to clean + fill it up.
Another day, another early-morning walk. The summer walkers have come out now, so instead of just waving at my neighbor Ron, who like me walked all winter, I feel like I'm saying "Good morning" every few steps. Most of them won't last for more than a week or so.
Today I'll go to the grocery store and pharmacy and then write and do some chores. Once upon a time I lived an exciting life, but no more. I kind of like it this way.
#today at uni: a workshop on PhD-by-publicaton, supervision, departmental coffee time, a seminar, departmental PGR in-person socials, ... oh and some research work, maybe?
I did download both the latest Linux Mint Cinnamon and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS; While at work, I will decide which distro to install. Even though I weighted Ubuntu lower in my list, I’m drawn to it! Tonight, I will be making bootable drives using balenaEtcher.
Hello fellow Fediverse travelers, I hope your day is going well. While on break I took a cicada pic, they are increasing daily. 🪲 🐛 When they're all out it will be an impressive sight.
The sun is out strong #today. I've already had a run by the creek. I even managed to improve my average pace by 15s/km. I am also proud that this is the first run in recent memory where I didn't drop to a walk even once.
I have a long day of conversations ahead, meetings and 1:1's for the $dayjob. My introvert battery is relatively charged. I will do my best to make it through without getting too ground down.
Workmen arrive to begin the process of bringing the exterior of the house up to snuff this morning.
I'm expecting the day to be noisy and filled with unexpected interruptions.
Chaos to restore order.
After too many years, the place is finally on the path of restoration. It's going to take some time and effort but it will be nice to get things in order in at least this one facet of my life.
I hope you find a bit of order in your chaos #today
I was hoping #today might start with some sun but woke to more gray. If the forecast is accurate, we should get some sun midday and all day tomorrow.
I missed my window for a run this morning. I hurt my foot last night, banged it into Ziggy's crate in the dark, so not sure I wanted to run on it anyway. I will still exercise, my non-running regimen. I do better when I get more exercise in each week rather than let it slide too many days.
