I'm not stopping my mother from playing with dangerous chemicals today, but I am making sure that she's handling those safely.

It's 11:45PM. Time to eat a cupcake.

The cat's getting into something.

One of my suppliers that I've had keeping an eye out for a nice Kenyan coffee has gotten back to me and basically said I don't want to buy the ones they just got in. I'm not going to buy any coffee just so I can say that I have it (same reason I'm currently out of coffee from Papua New Guinea). Given the choice, I'd rather disappoint the customer by not selling them what they want than disappointing them by tricking them into buying something they expect should be better than it is.

Updated the shop's web site with a couple new coffees. I still have a little bit of the previous coffee from Sumatra and the previous Decaf Ethiopia so the new ones aren't on the shelves here yet, but if you order those through the web site you'll get the new ones now.

Registration is open for my next online coffee roasting class. There are several listed on the page. The one I'm teaching is "Roasting Styles Exploration".

By giving up on Xiao I now have enough wishes saved up that I'd need extremely bad luck to not pull pyro Youmu after work today. I think that was the right call. Spamming plunge attacks is fun, but slapping enemies with a cute ghost is better. #GenshinImpact

Business idea - Please steal:

Online classes and coaching for famous people (celebrities, politicians, major award winners) aiming to give them the skills to know when they should just shut up.

One of the last treasure chests I found before hitting 100% exploration in every currently released region in Genshin Impact. A character standing on the pressure plate wasn't heavy enough so I used Zhongli (who I mainly pulled for puzzle solving purposes), Amber (who is totally viable in the end game content, don't believe the tier lists), and Baron Bunny to get enough weight on both panels. Some day I hope to get Amber's 4th constellation for double the dancing bunny.

No, I'm not fixing the typo. Yup, typo. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

If they were going to keep a thing around from Lantern Right, I would have gone with this decoration, not a weirdly half deleted illumiscreen.

Xiangling practicing her walnut summoning ritual.

So are we all just not talking about how Mihoyo took away the tables that these lanterns used to be on but left the lanterns mysteriously levitating? The screen they're shining on has also been left behind. #GenshinImpact

In case anybody was wondering, hugs time lasted about 20 minutes before moving back to just hang out next to the human time.

cat says it's time for hugs

The cat was not in one of her usual spots when I got home today, but she moved to the spot that she's learned is optimal for getting belly rubs.

Decided to play Urban Legend in Limbo again, got another trophy. Not sure how I didn't get that four years ago, but whatever.

The cat is sleep singing.
