@SimonWoods Yes, I'm going with black. There wasn't any other option.
It’s not officially fall yet, but we are battening down the hatches for the first storm of the season. We were lucky this summer, we didn’t get hit with any hurricanes but that could change between now and October.
Here is a screenshot from Amazon showing the desk I bought. Once it’s put together, I’ll take a pic of it in my office.
This is the new standup freezer I bought last Wednesday. It was delivered today. I can’t wait to splurge at Costco and fill it up!!!
My new couch will be delivered on Saturday.
Just because I haven’t posted in a while. Yes, I’m still here! Here’s a link to a podcast I was a guest on back in April. We discuss using the Mac, and the Voice Dream Reader controversy which was big at the time.
@Documentally Idk why I'm having so many issues with micro.blog this year. I think I'm just going to post from my Mastodon account, that way the audio attaches right to the post. Were you able to find the audio?
@Documentally Thank you. 😄
#AudioMo day 7. This is the first song I ever created using suno.ai. It’s not a chart topper by any means, but I’m still proud of it.
Second #AudioMo post. Apologies, i’m not sure what happened with the first one. This was recorded on my Zoom H6 essential, and the mic is the Vocaster DMV14.
#AudioMo day 6, hello from my new Zoom H6 essential recorder. Yes, I bought another Zoom recorder! The mic I am using is the Vocaster DMV14 microphone.
It’s #audioMo time again, and last year I posted most of mine on my micro.blog site. I used to be able to share audio files from the share sheet in iOS right to the micro.blog app but that option is no longer available. What would be even better is the ability to share them with epilogue. @manton
@splinter love this pic and your description ❤️ 
@pratik completely off-topic, but I really like your micro blog theme. Did you create it yourself? 
@Miraz I have had my gallbladder removed, and I know how painful gallbladder pain can be. I'm sorry you're going through that, especially so close to the holidays. Here's hoping that it is removed soon, and I wish you a speedy recovery and a happy holiday. 
I went to dinner at McKclvie’s last night to celebrate the start of my Xmas vacation. I had the shellfish Jambalaya, it was delicious! And now to enjoy 12 days of rest, relaxation, and hanging out with friends and family.
We have a funeral to go to on Tuesday, so I had to get Ds some propper clothes. I asked him to let me take a pic, and this is what I got. lol
Here’s a throwback from my camera roll. This was taken in August, 2021 on my first business trip to Toronto. It was a Monday morning, and I was ready to walk to work, but Kit had other ideas.
Back home, very sleepy! Good food was had all around, including the longed-for butterscotch pie! I even guthe a piece of apple pie to take home. Now the big dilemma, should I eat it tonight or save it?
Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian micro bloggers! Ds, Kit and I are getting ready to spend the day with relatives as is our tradition, and enjoy some delicious, home-cooked food. And, if I’m very lucky, my aunt will have made a butterscotch pie.
Going through some old pics on my camera roll. This was taken in 2018 when Ds was 9. He used to go on regular fishing trips with his grandfather. We have lots of pics of him throughout the years with his catches—trout in the summer, and smelt in the winter.
I can’t believe I am still wearing summer clothes during the first week of October!
The first thing Ds usually does when he comes home is—you guessed it—eat!!! Hell hath no fury like a hungry teenaged boy. And because he’s the best son ever, he’ll usually make a snack for me, too.
Ds bought himself a build-a-bear, so I’m on baby, er, bearsitting duty. 😂 🧸
@ptrck That sounds delicious!
We’re all ready for our trip to Houston, Texas tomorrow. Kit just got home from the groomers. Her fur is so soft and silky smooth.
I have submitted the propper forms to Air Canada via email, but I haven’t received any kind of acknowledgement. I hope there won’t be any trouble at the airport.
@Miraz the beach is one of my favourite places to be. 
@Miraz oh my that's a lot of wood! Did you stack that all yourself or did you have some help? 
@Miraz ❤️ ❤️ ⭐️ ⭐️
@jean the way I teach people to think of alt text descriptions is if you were describing a photo to someone and you were on a regular phone call, not a video chat, how would you describe it to them? What aspects of the photo are so important that someone who can't see it needs to know? 
I can't help but hope that this backfires on him in the most spectacular way. mitchw@mastodon.social
@odd I used to eat a lot more chocolate during easter when Ds was younger. I'd buy enough for an egg hunt and to make 2 easter baskets. But he's older now and not as interested as he used to be.
@MitchW I am usually very particular about reading in publishing order. I don't know why my behaviour changed for the Connelly books. They don't need to be read in order, but things do make a lot more sense if they are.
@MitchW I've read almost all of the books, but I've read them out of order. I started off with the law of innocence, which is the latest book in the Mickey Haller series. I only have a few books left to read, including bloodwork and scarecrow, but I should actually go back and read the whole series in order.
@sylvia I think this could be very useful. Is it an app?
@Miraz I didn't know that tea bags contain plastic. I've bought the cheap ones that are supposedly made of paper before, and they taste like it ... discusting!
Thank you for the tips. :-) i’d actually rather drink tea that doesn’t require me to boil water. It hasn’t happened often, but I have had a few accidents with my kettle and sustained a few burns, definitely not something I want to repeat.
@Lynessence Completing the test. This is the only time I will ever talk to myself ... and answer myself. haha
@Miraz Oh no, hope she feels better soon. That's no fun for either of you.
@Miraz That sounds lovely, spring is in full blume. You have many interesting birds there that I have never heard before.
@Miraz Is she ill or just a picky eater?
@Denny I do have an Apple TV. It's in my son's room, though, but it still shows up in my home app. I don't know if it's set as a hub, I will check though.
@sod Yes. I make sure it says home kit compatible when I buy any smart home products. I think it might have something to do with my router. Smart gadgets will only work on 2.4GHZ, but I have the same settings for 5GHZ and 2.4GHZ, so I never know what band I'm using. I'll play around with it today and see if it makes a difference.
@Miraz Thank you. It was indeed an infection. They called today to check up on her. I just switched to this new vet and they are really impressing me with their service.
@maique That's great, congratulations! I have been doing to intermittent fasting for a few years now and it has worked wonders. It was easy for me to adjust since I'm not a 3 square meals a day kind of girl. But I really need to exercise more, and that's where the real struggle is. I wish you the best of luck on your journey.
