This was the smallest of 6 boxes of chocolate that arrived today.

This is how I get chocolate.

Me: I should get up and eat a breakfast.
Cat: I would like to curl up and take a nap on your chest now.

Cat is licking my wrist.

After the water heater incident it turns out I didn't need to buy new filters. When the shop got a new AC the air flow through the furnace there increased enough that it needed bigger filters. We still had a couple of the old filters left over and they're the exact size my home furnace uses.

Why would an email client even honor a request to display the message in Papyrus? Please remove that feature.

Alternately, if you're not going involve the health department early on so they can help you make it work, don't go to them at all and hope that nobody notices. Getting on their radar when there's no way you can possibly satisfy them is a bad idea. #NotALawyer #NotYourLawyer #NotLegalAdvice

Feel kind of sad for this guy who just came in. He's planning an event but waited way too long to run the food related parts of those plans past the health department and now there's no way he's going to be able to get the right permits on such a short time table. He needed to be partnering with a licensed business a lot earlier so they could navigate getting the off site permit. Food safety is no joke.

Used the last of my rags in a box today. One box lasts a couple years how I use those.

I like cups 3 and 5 best. #coffee

I have too many projects.

I think it's fine to post screenshots now. #Timespinner

I bought sheets so now I'm getting email trying to sell me sheets by NULL. How many sheets do you robots think I need?

The obnoxious thing is that I can see exactly where I need to change upstream code to fix this but know that the patch would not be accepted and I can't just replicate the buggy method with the fix in my own project because upstream uses private API that I'd rather not bring in.

Failed to fix a bug, but in doing so I found lots of bug tracker discussions rejecting patches to upstream introducing APIs that would have at least given me other workarounds to try. I was planning on getting rid of that dependency for 2.0 anyway so now I have another reason to do that. The down side: replacing this is going to be a ton of work.

I need coffee grinders to stop breaking. One of the ones that was just out for repair failed again today. It can power on for about 1 second before something in the electronics catches fire and trips the breaker. I might be able to fix that but I was counting on getting other work done.
