Sonar — sense who's nearby

yet? I downloaded the testflight a few minutes ago. Intrigued to see another bitchat + nostr integration, and with bitcoin/lightning payments! My husband refuses to download "anymore of my dumb chat apps", but I want to play with the shiny new apps, so feel free to message me on any of them!

GM Nostr friends! Had my morning walk with Lu, got my coffee and a protein bar, and she's curled up on my pillow having her first snooze of the morning. House is quiet, I have almost an hour before I have to sign into work, and life is good. God is good, friends. Always. Even when life isn't. Enjoy your Tuesday!

GM Nostr friends. Happy Monday. It's boiling hot here in Minnesota, and looks like it will stay like this all week. Stay cool, everybody. Another week is upon us. This weekend went so fast. It's Week 2 of my new job, so just trying to keep my head above water and learn some new things without completely overloading my brain. May your coffee be the perfect temp, and your day ahead a comfortable routine.

GM Nostr friends! I'm pumped today. Logged into my Bitaxe this morning and realized I was part of the Parasite mining pool when it hit a block last week. Whoo hoo! I can finally tell Hubby that the Bitaxe has paid for itself. (He's been crabbing that it was a waste of a purchase, and is an ongoing waste of electricity, even though I got the lowest-powered one I could afford at the time.) The new job has been going well so far. Today is the last day of my first week, and I'm starting to understand what it is my new team actually does, and where we fit within the larger organization. It's a lot to take in, and very different from the structure I'm used to, but I feel a bit more confident today than I did Monday. Also bought a new desk on Tuesday, so getting used to having more space. It also made me realize just how much desk junk I have. Ugh. Trying to pare it down, but then my stupid brain goes, "Oh, we might need that at some point." :blob_glare: Anyway, happy Friday all! May your coffee be the perfect temp today.

GM Nostr friends. After a hot weekend, our AC is finally fixed and chugging away to catch up with the hotbox that is our house currently. No idea how Europe does this on a regular basis. I was so hot and crabby trying to sleep the last two nights. Meanwhile, I'm on campus waiting to meet with my new team for my first day. I found a quiet little corner to sit and mentally practice my greetings so I don't come off as a weirdo. (At least initially.) Mental visualization is the only way I calm my anxiety in new situations.

GM Nostr friends. T-3 days until I'm done with my current role! Very excited to be moving on. Came back from the cruise with a bit of a sore throat and stuffy nose. Not great, but I've been taking my Zinc, so hopefully this is out of the way before I meet my new team in person on Monday. It is very good to be home. We've been so blessed to be able to take this trip, but I am always happy to get back to my regular routine. Have a good Wednesday, all.

When in Canada, you check out the local Costco. On a Saturday. Like an idiot. (The chicken and fries were actually really good!)

GM Nostr friends. Killing some time on the ship this morning before we disembark. Got the whole day to kill in Vancouver before we can check into our hotel this afternoon. Hope to find somewhere to go and hang out, as there are some rain clouds threatening, and we both have all our rain gear packed.

Good afternoon/evening Nostr friends! We're mostly through our Alaskan cruise. Today we're in Ketchican, our last port. Tomorrow is cruising all day, and Saturday morning we arrive back in Vancouver to disembark. One more day in Canada, then home. It's been a bit too much people time, but the views have been gorgeous. I even got to pet a black bear! ☺️

GA/GE Nostr friends. Today kinda got away from me with work stuff. We're now in the T minus countdown to leaving Friday for vacation, and then once I'm back, just four short days until I kiss this job goodbye and head for greener pastures. So many good things ahead. I'm so blessed and excited!

Yup, pretty much how I treat my posts on here. View quoted note →

GM Nostr friends. It's my birthday! So grateful to wake up today, another year older, next to a husband trying very hard to be quiet and still play on his phone. For a sweet little pup who feels safe enough to fall asleep on my lap. For the friends who are like family. For the bucket list vacation we're going on in a week. For all of you!

GE Nostr friends. With all the excitement, I forgot to share with you all - that interview I did early last week? I got the job! Found out at the very end of Thursday afternoon. I start on July 20th! I'll be working as a business analyst yet, but for a completely different department within the University. My friend works as the project manager for the team; it will be so lovely getting to work with her again. Feeling so blessed right now, but nervous at the same time. I have a meeting with my (current) boss first thing tomorrow morning to tell him. We've never really gotten along - long story there - but I do feel bad leaving the team at a time where we're really busy. I will not be sad to get away from him, but I basically grew up with the people in this department. Anyhoo, exciting.
