My sister is making masks out of leftover fabric scraps, mostly from skirts. The first one has bats on it. She's a big fan of bats.

tfw everything you're cooking finishes at the same time.

Train ticket refund posted to the credit card, so that's helpful.

Reminder to smile at your chocolate.

The cat hid my shoes.

Ordered another several hundred pounds of coffee. That's a smaller order than I'd ordinarily like. One coffee is the last of what I already had on contract. The other is getting pulled from one of my supplier's other customers who's long on their position in light of current events.

If anybody wants to know what the inside of my upcoming coffee roasting book looks like, I have a few pages teased in this video: https://video.typica.us/videos/watch/1714545a-df96-4cfb-8beb-a2682a473b65

There's a bottom of the page with the page number that's not shown and it'll look better for most people as ImageMagick has some strangeness when it comes to converting PDF pages to PNG that a proper PDF reader wouldn't have.

As both an essential worker and a small business owner I can't help but wonder if calling people essential is like when you get a more impressive sounding title instead of a pay raise.

Note to self: order more regional rate B boxes.

Shipping a bunch of chai to NC today. I told them that the best value for shipping is at 2 half gallon bottles which is what fits in a regional rate B box, they ordered 4. Just to verify, I looked up what it costs to send that all in one box. It's just over twice as much as it costs to split the order into 2 separate regional rate B boxes.

Making another batch of chai concentrate.

YouTube found a couple channels with videos that have a 100% match to stuff I've made. One is a straight up copy that has a Russian description and fraudulently claims a CC license that I never released that video under. The other at least replaced the background music and only used most of my original video. Not cool. Removals requested on both.

@Nikolai_Kingsley I'd expect the contacts to be the hardest part of that. I hear those are awful to wear.

@Nikolai_Kingsley Fun fact: there's a custom full scale model catgirl in my living room. She's fully dressed.

@mike @dirtycommo The previous cat would carry stuffed animals around the house, including ones multiple times her size so it would sometimes look like the big plush seal is roaming the house.

@mike doubtful.

@mike mine

The cat brought me underwear. I don't know why.

Netflix is warning about nudity at the start of every episode of DS9, but it's just referring to Odo.
