Elderly

This man is fifty years old! And he can kick!

George

Happening! Lake George dinner cruise! Also it’s still winter. Mr. K is peeing. As one does. Diabetes.

Bidet

I hate the vanity in the bathroom. Which is very much not original. Here’s some playing in ChatGPT. Real bathroom below.

Refresh

Using Ai tools to update kitchen. I long for butcher block counters tops. They feel so warm and inviting.

I’m not sure what is going on with this post. I meant to use this picture?

Ice

The good news is that living like I’m Little House on the Prairie and keeping my heat at 68 over the last few months has reduced my rolling average kilowatts used from around 1050 to 960. The bad news is that my bill still continues to climb like a monkey on crack.

Mango

It’s the smallest, teensy, tiniest sip of mango margarita ever! #SippySip

Hud

We found a cute house! It’s trapped in 1950s but pristine and in flawless shape! And I’m kinda in love with the pink and powder blue bathroom. Mr. K hates it! Pic below. It’s in a cute neighborhood, sits up off the street a bit, and has a super private fenced-in side yard. It has no garage, but instead a massive concrete driveway that extends far enough back to accommodate a shed.

This morning, I was thinking about that time I spent a high school summer with my TRS80 computer writing basic program code to generate random vocabulary stems for a conlang. I had different probabilities set for word length, consonant vs. vowel selection, monophthong vs. diphthong, etc. based on parts of speech and frequency of usage. I created a textbook / study guide of sorts for the language that I had bound into a book. This was 1,000 years ago before people had printers, copiers, or book binding equipment at home – as one does now. I did all this by bouncing around town to different places, getting all the pieces and parts stitched together. It was an adventure that lasted many months, and I felt so proud. This morning, I was pondering that one could probably ask an Ai to instantly do all of this with the wave of a hand. I wonder if there are any weird kids like me using Ai to do whacky fun things. I would have been like a kid in a candy store if I were growing up now. Who knows what magic I might have whipped up?

I am still so beyond thrilled learning about adding new libraries to my #LibbyApp. The number of available ebooks in my to-read list has jumped from 17 out of 89 to 80 out of 89! I counted because I wanted to see what all the hoo-hah was about. I almost fell out of my chair! Given that I read about a book a week, this is putting my library tax dollars to good use! I’m going to save a ton of money on book shopping.

Rest

Today is the first day of the rest of my life. Right after it stops raining.

Dollars

A strange meeting has appeared on my calendar with #BrownBakery #BigWigs which is suspiciously close to the end of the fiscal year on June 30. I’m not sure if I’m getting fired or if they are throwing more money at me. #WellSeeLinda

Groucho

I’m letting my mustache grow in a bit. To give Mr. K the thrill of a lifetime. I’m a giver.

Toss

Is Mr. K gonna be able to handle his 50th birthday secret adventure? We’re gonna have so much fun. I have to go to the office three days in a row this week. Which is making me grumpy. I can’t do anything but work and sleep. There is no other existence until Friday when we hit the road for our trip.

Lights

Rough draft project. I’ll paint the base black. I set it in my bathroom to get a good pic of what it looks like illuminated.

Lightbright

I bought a cheapie tacky-as-heck yard-art solar light thingy with which I’m going to make an art project for my windowsill. It’s fun and very pretty. The lights oscillate different colors. I tried to take a picture of it lit up, but it didn’t come out well. It’ll be more of a mood piece. I’m excited!

Days

A few more days until Mr. K’s super secret 50th birthday adventure!

Lean

I’m having a lean cuisine for dinner. With a side of tater tots. As one does.

Button

Have y’all seen the commercial on streaming with the singing belly button? I’m calling the Feds!
