Today's code was largely of the sort that potentially blows up at runtime, but so far it seems to be working correctly instead.

My sister made the mistake of scaring the freight company away from delivering the coffee today so that's coming tomorrow instead. On the plus side, I got a new loaf of bread from the bakery.

Quarterly estimated taxes paid, as one does.

Lots of birds in the front yard. The cat is uninterested in them.

Power company would like me to fill out a survey on the power outages they've been informing me of that don't seem to have happened

While none of the prices matched my estimate, the aggregate came extremely close. It looks like this should cost about $38 less than what I pitched.

*Edit* Not a couple thousand dollars, a couple thousand pounds (it's more like $13,000).

Ordered another couple thousand dollars of coffee. I'd estimated fairly pessimistically and only a couple things came in at a higher than expected price but they're both things that I haven't had on the shelf in a while. I might be able to lower prices on a couple other things.

I might be wrong about this because I don't know all the details of their routing plans, but I think FedEx is going to fail to deliver what they're saying they plan to get to me today. It got into Wisconsin (where it's going) along the WI/MN border on Friday, then instead of continuing across the state to where I am, they sent it off in the opposite direction to North Dakota and then continued toward Montana where it is now.

The cat is taking a break from her nap.

Doing a couple of blend adjustments today. New House Blend when prepared as espresso isn't the flavor profile that I want for my espresso, but it's quite good and I'd be happy if other places served me something like that.

@mhoye Mapping a key (I chose right control) to compose.

Cat goes purr

In a sign that I'm probably eating too much pizza, they didn't ask me for my name and number when I placed today's order.

More computer hardware (a small NAS and drives) has entered the house and the cat approves. She especially likes the accessories box that the power and network cables came in.

Still, nice to see a number for what someone might in theory want to pay for the place.

Got one of those "I want to buy your house" things in the mail. This one stands out for actually having a number on it (a little over twice what I paid for it which I assume they'd want to chip down after looking it over) but I'm not particularly interested in looking for a place to move to or dealing with the hassle of moving or helping to build up the stock of investment housing.

Spent entirely too long looking around the house for a magnifying glass before remembering that I can just use the camera on my phone to enlarge some tiny text I needed to read.

(not that I wouldn't have minded a couple more minutes of green hills zone remix)
