Are chocolate chips a berry?

Today I learned (from reading a recipe she left me) that my eldest sister thinks chocolate chips are a berry.

One of the two coffee shipments has been delivered so I'll be sorting out how I want to roast a couple new things in that. There's another thing getting shipped in boxes and the last time I checked the tracking all 3 boxes were in the same facility, but 1 was scheduled to be delivered tomorrow and the other 2 were scheduled for the day after.

It's a cat.

A cozy cat.

The cat found a bug.

Supplier is going to try again and is blaming FedEx for apparently dumping out the original contents of the box and putting someone else's shipment inside instead.

Yesterday I got a big box (about 2x2x3 feet) that should have contained 45 pounds of cinnamon pieces. Instead it contained a bunch of air bags (packing material) and a tiny box under half a pound labeled as a shipment from an entirely different sender to not me containing some electric gadget.

Uploaded half an hour of me talking about coffee roasting while showing how to use CRUCS to design and edit plans for profile coffee roasting.

Making some progress on tutorial video editing today.

Lap cat is lap catting.

Today in urban wildlife I encountered a beatboxing squirrel. It was pretty good at first, but kept getting worse the longer I listened.

The cat does not approve of my new work schedule, but she doesn't get a vote on that.

In unrelated news, I may have started learning Kotlin.

If you don't get a reply to your cold email SEO pitch, it's because I'm not interested in getting that from you or any of the other dozens of people trying to make the same pitch. A passive aggressive follow up does not make it more likely that I'd pick you over the competition if I went insane and decided that SEO was something I wanted to pay for.

I'm doing the baking at the shop for the next few weeks because the 1st and 2nd people who normally do that work are both taking long delayed vacations.
