just realized zsa's got a new keyboard out! "voyager": https://zsa.io/voyager/
looks pretty good! less bulky than their other keyboards, and i bet the thumb clusters are way easier to reach than on moonlander or ergodox.

the gang got on the train to toronto and hit the ROM today

this purple thing is the universal symbol for "i was dumb and upgraded to sonoma"

after spending a few days in a haze of fever and headaches, felt great to do some physical work and be out and about. (also picked up a 90’s freezer from simcoe and got it set up in our basement)

finally put the #kei truck’s roof racks to work today toting wood for a ramp i (thought i) needed to load a cast iron stove i got at auction in dundas ($30 including chimney!)

just put a ladder/lumber/kayak rack on the acty!

i have basically 2 modes of writing when messaging folks. sometimes it’s like a switch flips in my head and i toggle from this mode (w no capitalization and limited punctuation) to…

This! Much more proper and professional. And my vocabulary switches to become more formal as well! Sometimes I don’t even realize I’ve switched during a conversation with someone. I imagine it could be quite jarring for them at times.

‪i’d actually like to go to bed right now but i’m already serving as a bed for this one… her name is winnifred and she’s way too comfortable right now. ‬

good evening

a few domestic scenes. last night our freezer failed, but fortunately we were able to find a spot for everything in other freezers. grateful for friends and family that are happy to help, for a life in a place that affords little luxuries and joys and moments of peace every day (if i take the time to let them happen)

i’ve been waiting for daylight savings to “fall back” so i can wake up on time more easily, but it’s still over a month away!

(realistically, i’d probably need to have the time rollback happen every month or two to actually keep me on track)

setting up this old typewriter for eb, and she just noticed it’s got no exclamation point!

“how will i seem excited? i’ll have to use a dollar sign”

really enjoying this “tradle” game. wordle / worldle, but int’l exports as guessing fodder
