Ordered more coffee. The selection of decafs available through the web site is pretty bad right now because I didn't want to accidentally take orders I couldn't fill promptly. I'll be able to fix that some time next week. I'm getting the last 3 bags in the Madison warehouse of the Sulawesi coffee I've been using a lot for training (some may or may not still be available out of Oakland, I know they had some there, too). Also adding a coffee from El Salvador to have something new on offer.

Hugged the cat. It's raining. She wants extra cuddles.

New chocolate bars arrived today so I'm giving up on selling the last bar featuring a moose wearing a scarf on the label. I'll just eat that one.

Arrived home to find the cat trying very hard to make a big dent in the top of the couch.

It's time to pet the cat.

Wow, the slightly less convenient to get in/out was 20 cents per gallon cheaper. Sold.

Need to buy gas today. The low gas light came on right after driving past the gas station on my way home from work yesterday.

The cat is talkative tonight.

Changed out my falling apart backpack for a lightly used bag I got at an event to use for carrying the laptop around. It's not ideal, but good enough until I decide what I want to do.

Getting in some good book edits today. While I do think that taking this release once it's ready approach will result in a better and more useful book, I am eager to have this done so I can move on to the next project.

I know nothing about this game, but the trophies look like an interesting mix. https://psnprofiles.com/trophies/11037-crypto-by-powgi

Another online order came in today. Normally I'd pack that up and carry it to the post office. There's a chute through the wall where boxes with postage can be dropped without having to interact with other humans, but that lobby is no longer open 24/7 and is closed today so there's no point to dealing with that today except to take the money a day earlier so I'll just wait. If more orders come in I'd rather deal with them all at once.

Drinking a tasty coffee from Yemen today. Prior to getting this, it had been a long time since I'd been able to source a good Yemeni coffee. War is bad for supply chains.

Someone lost their phone outside my shop a couple days ago and it would be nice if someone called them so we can figure out how to get that back to them. Instead we just know that people ring their doorbell a lot because they have some "smart" doorbell abomination that notifies the phone every time that happens.

cat: *hunts pie*

Cat is trying to fall off the couch.

Grocery store had a pack of kids awooing near the life size inflatable lions.

Printer: I'm ready to print.
Windows: LA LA LA CAN'T HEAR YOU!

There's a Windows machine at the shop that pretty much only gets used to print labels, but it's so bad at it. If the printer ever reports any kind of error condition, the computer is like, "I tried and I'm never trying again." Out of paper? There's no way a printer could ever recover from that. If you can find the right service to restart, it'll notice that it can resume printing, but it's faster to just reboot the whole computer and I'm just like, how do you screw up printing that badly?
