I had the weirdest dream I was at an airport and I walked up to a touchscreen vending machine to buy a beverage. Turns out it was a kiosk that sold wedding dresses that could be shipped directly to Vegas and you would get them as your flight landed in Vegas. This is a fascinating business idea.

OMG I just spent 5 hours learning how to compile Fluent-Bit with CMake & testing the YAML configs so I can start working on one of my personal projects. Hyperfocus kicked into overdrive and I am in the zone. Although it's a "doing your job outside of work" type of hobby so I need to be careful.

Women belong in the kitchen. Men belong in the kitchen. Everyone belongs in the kitchen. Kitchen has Food.

Finally made it to the office. I accidentally manifested rolling a 1. Then my coworker joked that he didn't see it so I rolled again (by his desk). Cracked die gave me an 11...then rolled another nat 1. Is that a sign from the universe for something?

If you're not paying attention right now, I don't trust you.

I think today is the one day I am thankful that the train is late. I spent 20 minutes just getting snow and ice off of my car. Plus all the sliding my car did just getting out of my driveway, I am lucky I left my driveway alive.

when you realize that life is meaningless and you still have eight more to go

the wonderful thing about cats is no person will ever get to the end of their life and think "I wish I had spent LESS time letting a soft warm purring thing sleep in my lap."

I finally finished booking accommodations and travel for my NYC trip. I didn't spend as much as I thought I was going to (which is excellent). I'm so excited! Now I just need to convince myself to not spend too much while in NYC. 😂

I totally forgot to update this. I was off by exactly 24 hours. My review is the day before (Feb 11th). Which actually is more in my favor since I won't have a natal & mundane moon-mercury opposition. So the fact I was close prediction wise, I'm somewhat impressed with myself.

So I took a Covid test this morning and it was positive. Is it bad that the only thing I am worried about is if Peanut Butter will be ruined for me again? Last time I had Covid (2021), Peanut Butter smelled and tasted burnt for over a year afterwards and I can't handle that torment again.

I let my new coworker pick which chonk d20 to roll today. He chose the Rick Roll d20. I warned him that this d20 usually hates me. But I have rolled single digits for several rolls in a row, what could possibly go wrong? I then proceeded to roll a 1. I wish I was joking.

I'm fairly confident this loop on the side of my work bag is for some other set of straps that I lost. However, it's a practical location for fabric keychains/showing off pins.

"Rolling a [d]20 a day keeps my sanity at bay". *Proceeds to roll a 3* Nevermind. Third in-office work day in a row in the single digits. 😂 At least I am optimistic.

hi, I have ADHD, no I don't know I had a random bruise. wait, which one are you referring to? 😆

So my year end review hasn't been scheduled yet, but I am going to make my bold prediction that it will be on February 12th. Why you may ask? That's when we will have a full moon in Leo...conjunct my natal Leo moon (10H). Spoiler alert: I hate my Leo moon. If I am right I'll share my full analysis.

So I am glad I haven't started planning my NYC trip (other than getting time off requested). I am now debating whether I should just take a train there or risk flying the 1.5 hour flight. The one time I want to be adventurous, but I have to fear for my life because of someone I didn't vote for.

I accidentally figured out the trick to encourage people to show up on time for session (Starfinder): tell them you are making tater tots in the air fryer. I don't think I have personally met anyone who doesn't like tater tots.

Due to unexpectedly covering on-call for a coworker this week, I haven't had the chance to celebrate Cleveland Pierogi week. Luckily, I remembered that I bought these at my local grocery store the day before Pierogi week started. So I finally made myself delicious potato doughy goodness!

Am I a little salty that Dell doesn't sell XPS laptops with Ubuntu pre installed anymore? Yes. But did I still buy one anyway to become a dev laptop? Yes, except now I have to decide if I want to install: Ubuntu, Mint, or PopOS on it. Lol.

I love how my manager just indirectly told me that as long as his manager approves his review of my performance (he assumes he will), I have nothing to worry about in terms of getting what I have been fighting for at work. I rolled a 5 this morning; yet somehow this day feels more like a 20 so far.

Can we take a moment to appreciate this candle I bought? Of course I found the glass container I wanted to place this in AFTER I started burning it and I blew out the flame.

Kind of sucks that we didn't at least get a Roaring Twenties before what's about to come

I don't know how, but I lost the belt (just a fabric sash) that came with my favorite work blazer. So I decided to grab a black braided belt that came with the dress I wore to a LotR/medieval themed wedding. Honestly, I unintentionally chose a witchy look for work, but it matches the aesthetic.

Someone has their alarm going off on the train. It sounds like a delicate tune where aliens are visiting Earth. Why it specifically gives off those vibes, no idea. It's prettier than most default alarms.

Lesson learned: as delicious it was to eat chickpea tofu, it doesn't crisp up well in the air fryer. That was a total surprise to me. I'll definitely try to give it another chance at some point.

The Leaning Tower of Treason.

My only comment on this team based on my Big 3 + Venus: Snorlax being the representative for Taurus Venus is honestly perfect tbh.

My life has been forever changed knowing this exists. I am glad some of the sponsors specifically labeled flavors that are vegan. Am I probably going to be pierogied out for the rest of the year? Maybe. But will it be worth it, HELL YES! pierogiweekcleveland.com
