Ha!

I just cackled! And then immediately saved this pic to the forever folder on my phone. For reasons.

Robber

Oh, I received a letter from Brown Bakery that their systems were hacked. Everyone’s payroll bank accounts and routing numbers were compromised. I don’t think there’s much I can do about it other than to be paranoid and extra cautious. All of my bank accounts already have text authentication activated. We live in a world where nothing is secure anymore. It sucks but also feels like something I don’t have the bandwidth to hive about around the clock. I’m busy puzzling.

Time

The Local Bakery meeting started out very bad with technical issues. I don’t think they were my fault, as I of course tested everything beforehand. They told me that they have these issues every time they have a zoom with someone outside the organization. They didn’t seem too upset? We thus got off to a late start. But I think the mood was upbeat and good. Lots of great conversation happened. We ran over our time by a lot, so they definitely were interested in what I was serving. They didn’t ask about or touch on the timing at all. This is either very good – they don’t care – or very bad – it makes them uncomfortable. Not sure? They went over the timeline with next steps for an in-person meeting. So I suspect it’s good news for now. We’ll see. I’ve been down this road with zoom screenings with this group a half-a-dozen times now. So I’m not betting the house yet.

Nose

I realized this morning that I haven’t been getting frequent bloody noses this winter. Weird? Am I cured? Blood disorder.

Grocery

My grocery list is lit! Also I ate an apple last night for the first time in twenty years, and my poop is like tar this morning. Tmi? Apples kill!

Files

The preoccupation with the files feels like a weird turning point. Like when they were cranking out all those pornographic pamphlets about Marie Antoinette before the revolution. Humans amuse me. I hope I can escape the guillotine, quietly sitting at home working my puzzle while listening to podcasts about jungle frogs. I’m very busy.

Overall Energy

This reading suggests a solid, promising interview where you’re seen as both dependable and full of potential. The combination of King (stability) and Page (new beginnings) is especially positive — it implies a company that wants someone reliable who can also grow.

Plastic

I’m thinking about and trying to reduce the amount of plastic I ingest via containers and food packaging. One step is migrating all my water bottles from plastic to stainless steel.

Rum

It has come to my attention that Syracuse people pronounce the word “room” very much like “rum” and now I can’t stop analyzing it.

Stuffed

I absolutely stuffed my car to the gills with junk and drove to the thrift store over lunch to make a drop-off. Grr! They aren’t taking donations today for some reason. Now I have to drive my car all over creation filled with junk until I can go again.

TTD Analytics

My new channel is off to a great start, and I’m feeling proud of the results. I’m still learning and polishing my style. Here’s my stats for the first month. I’m not getting much traction on Instagram, but I’m finding an audience on the other platforms.

Zap Goals

I made it through January without using my clothes dryer. No big whoop! I suspect the analysis of kilowatts used won’t be cosmic, as we’ve had the coldest snowiest winter in 47 years. WTH? But it feels good to make the effort.

Sub

I grabbed subs and headed to Mr. K’s to have a late lunch. I was craving me some turkey and swiss, and it hit the spot. We are chewing our way through Schitt’s Creek and are in the final season. I’m not sure what we’ll watch next. He wants me to see Ted Laso.
