@technomancy Pretty much everything I've got right now is a washed coffee. The Ethiopian is very nice, but it's still a washed Sidamo. I might switch to a natural later in the year when I run out of that, but that mostly depends on what shows up on my cupping table. I wouldn't mind bringing in a nice natural El Salvador either if I find one after the current health crisis. For now I need to be super-conservative on orders.

@gnomon I have a ton of options, but for today I'm thinking the old Bodum Granos.

Shop is closed today. I should fire up the home espresso machine.

I've been informed that it is once again time for cat hugs.

@jaybird @Taweret Pretty sure the Trill symbionts are also amphibians when not joined with a host. That's definitely his kink.

@jaybird @Taweret amphibian. Worf has a frog girl fetish.

I feel like I'm transforming into Dino Mask. That's a bit worrying as people with Mask in their name are never good role models.

The cat has decided my elbow is a pillow.

Today I got an answer about why one of the grocery stores in the area has a family of giant inflatable lions. The owner of the store is on some board for the local zoo and the lions are decorations for one of their no doubt cancelled or postponed fundraisers. The grocery store is just storing the lions until they're needed.

Probably for the best that what I finished wasn't what I started working on since that's projected to be about 5x longer.

It's taking longer than I hoped for the technical review on my book to be completed. I've sent some gentle prodding, but as one reviewer put it, "The length and details of your work are daunting." So that's where the delay is coming from now. I'm going to continue waiting on that feedback because as much as I'd like to start getting some income from the book, I asked for the review because I think that's going to result in a better book going out.

@fribbledom I don't get hiccups. Just the one hiccup. One big, giant hiccup, then it's done.

Mom's cat was pretending to help me scan documents, but she really just wanted to eat tissues.

morning meeting with the cat

Credit union just sent out word that there's a smishing scam happening in the area. I was unaware that smishing was a word.
