It sure is relaxing *cat yells at me from other room* having the house *cat gets in between me and the open refrigerator door, yelling* to myself for a day or two *cat hurls himself in my path on my way to the bathroom, then yells*

The cat thinks I should stop working on the book and pet the cat instead. She's also trying to steal my pen.

Ah.

Well.

I had been planning to go out. Thank you for informing me of this change of plans, I suppose.

The typos I'm catching just reading through are things that spell check wouldn't have caught because they're real words, just not the right word.

I should probably run a spell check over it as well?

Todos for chapter 5 are now all done. I want to make one more pass over the whole thing and write up the explanation of terms section, and there's still 1 todo left in chapter 4. I also need to decide what I want to go with for a photo on the first page of the explanation of terms chapter.

New personal checks arrived today. I went for the smallest option but that's still a few years supply for me.

The cat is trying to push over another stack of books.

That still leaves out a surprisingly large amount of relevant work, mostly because people keep asking me to work on cool stuff and like a fool I keep saying yes.

Sent a bio for the next event I'm teaching at. Those always make me a little nervous in part because I am unreasonably experienced in my profession. This time I decided to go with the 20 years of coffee roasting at my shop, creating the first free and open source program for collecting and managing coffee roasting production records, developing and delivering classes and curricula at global events, competition judging, and a plug for the new book that should be available to buy by the event.

The next phone call was from "Google" wanting to "update our listing". The information on our web site is correct so whatever they want to know they can just Google it instead of wasting my staff's time.

I'll probably have a little left over from the competition for an ultra-limited edition offering and if I come in 3rd I'll win more of the coffee to sell.

The coffee for the next coffee roasting competition I'm entering is expected to arrive Wednesday. Everybody is using the same coffee in this one and it's a ridiculously expensive Brazilian coffee. I've used coffee from that supplier at a previous event so I'm looking forward to seeing what I can do with that coffee.

So yeah, another solid reason to just stop answering the phone and let a robot hang up on fraudsters.

Someone claiming to be GoDaddy is calling businesses trying to run some kind of scam. First they got an employee and knowing that we have no business relationship with GoDaddy and are fine with keeping things that way I had her let them know that I don't want to talk to them. They immediately called back with the we somehow got "disconnected" line, but this time I answered and all the information they had was wrong so I think they're trying to trick people into giving them credit card numbers.

The coffee plant failed to grow this seed right. Found after roasting.
