Got new bulbs for the can lights in the kitchen. The one by the oven wasn't burnt out yet but the other two have been replaced by brighter, lower power bulbs so I'll be able to see a little better while washing dishes or doing prep.

@stux One of the cats I used to live with liked to pick up and carry a big plushy seal around the house. The stuffed animal was much larger than the cat at the time so depending on the view angle it could look like the seal was moving around the house on its own.

I've known that this was going happen soon, but today I got home from work to discover that the cat has passed away. It looks like she was in a comfortable napping spot when it happened.

Set up a new credit card terminal at the shop. Increasing sliminess and the poor quality of the latest hardware change we were forced into means that we've gone with a different company. Fortunately, we have employees and customers who have experience in their other businesses using this provider because "No Training Required" really means "We can't be bothered to provide comprehensive documentation that might scare people off".

Just about finished with the chunk of code I've been working on lately. Today I worked out a new feature. Not sure if it's how I'll keep things, but I'll live with it as it is for a while and see how that goes.

Old cat is acting like an old cat.

On reflection, this was the high point of the work day.

I saw four good dogs on the way to work today.

The strange bug involved data being reported from the future, but I had just set up one of the transformation pipelines wrong. No actual precognition was observed.

Continued with the work from the past couple days and noticed and fixed a couple bugs (one strange, the other significantly less strange). Knocked a couple items off the to do list for the part of the code base I'm working on, but still have a few more things to add.
