1. Up at 5:30 this morning to get a few work things in
2. A sad but good funeral and memorial service today
3. Successfully not working after getting home after the funeral

🧹 getting up to 60 (Fahrenheit) today! Windows open, pre-mature but necessary spring cleaning!

🎬 Landed on watching Sum of All Fears with Mozzie. Always a good one.

🥃 squirreling all over the place this evening, not in bad ways, just my brain trying to calm down from the week but not able to find a spot to land. Manhattan while it works itself out. Prost!

⚙️ automating a bunch of things today 💪

Posts that will get you up to speed:

• a line in the sand
• a wedding
• a few reps

(also, if I owe you money from a leather order you never received, just say so and I’ll make it right. that business is no longer at the moment, but I can get you your cash back).

full transparency: I forgot I had my omg.lol status linked to micro.blog. Not mad about it. I am slowly coming out of my hibernation. since I went quiet in October 2024: full reconciliation with my ex-wife, remarried in December ‘25. Will reply to replies in the morning. ❤️

🙏 Think I may have found a nice home for my gratitude log (that I hope to bring back). I, of course, need to add yet another place where I publish (because I love trying out new places to write and publish), and so this will reside there.

🌨️ The falling snow is melting as it hits the ground. So thankful for this!
