Someone on a forum wanted to know how Hu Tao did against one very specific enemy so I recorded a solo no buff attempt for them. The build is still in progress (all the artifacts will eventually get replaced and one of them isn't even levelled at all) and there's a lot of room for improved player skill, but she got the job done.

The old batch tag printer broke (I've sort of fixed it but it's not especially reliable ) so I ordered a new one which arrived today. I'll need to mess around with that a little more because there are two ways to print a batch tag in Typica. One of them works exactly as expected while the more convenient way chops off the left side of the tag. The older printer had the opposite problem, which is why both methods exist, but I should really get to the bottom of that and make both ways work.

Got an unreasonably over-packed box today, but I don't mind because I was running low on packing material.

It's an electric gooseneck kettle (adjustable temperature), a small scale that looks appropriate for timing and weighing shots of espresso, a double wall glass dripper, a glass server, and a cupping spoon.

The brew kit retails for something like 4 times the cost of the class, so that's pretty crazy. I could see someone signing up treating it like a big discount on the brewing equipment and getting my roasting class thrown in for free.

The next class I'm teaching has a sponsor that's sending a nice brew kit to everybody in my class and I guess I'm getting one, too. It's been a while since I got any new coffee brewing equipment.

Saw a good dog on the way home today. Its human was confused, but the dog was good. Also saw an idiot nearly drop his lit joint into his gas tank so that was scary.

me: *trying to be asleep*
cat: *trying to pet me*

I walked away to do laundry and when I got back the cat was complaining because she got her claws stuck in a blanket and couldn't figure out how to move. There's no way she's that helpless when I'm at work.

I thought I needed to pay a bill today but I already paid it, entered the payment into my accounting, just forgot to delete the email from my bills folder.

My orange peel arrived today (a little less than a pound). It came with some Black Lives Matter stickers and a Vaccinate pin.

Needed cat litter, but the grocery store brought back one of the local ice creams that I like so I got that, too.

Saw an article about how to keep cats out of your yard and I'm thinking, why would I want to?

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.
