Currently reading the second in a series (A Wild Kind of Darkness) about a neurospicy private investigator with a traumatic backstory solving cases in the old town she grew up in. It's the Waverly Jones Mystery series by Skyla Dawn Cameron. Loving it, quick moving story and an interesting main character. #bookstr

GM Nostr friends. Hopefully a quiet day ahead. Got my coffee and already ate some scrambled eggs. Enjoy the day!

GM Nostr friends. Trying to get some work done, but also want to play around with Minestr. Unfortunately, Coinos isn't playing nice today by letting me get some gSats. Maybe it's a sign I should just work...😩

Sorry for being quiet today, friends. We left the resort about 7 this morning, and got home in about three and a half hours. Picked Lu up. Brought her home and gave her a bath right away, then gave myself one, because gas station bathrooms. 🤢Spent all afternoon napping and now it's actual bed time. GN!

GM Nostr friends! Late start today. I can thank my eye mask for allowing me to sleep until I was ready to wake up today - a rare luxury. Still at the resort until tomorrow morning. Got a fire crackling away, and the window cracked for some fresh air to keep the blow back from the fire from getting too overwhelming. Planning to read and enjoy the view today and nothing else.

GM Nostr friends! Currently lying in bed, listening to some waves, courtesy of Lake Superior. I love being near water. Spending the weekend with Hubby in a little rural town for some relaxation. Going to kick back and maybe cross a book off my TBR list. Happy Friday!

GM Nostr friends. Coffee is in hand, devices are charging, and catching up on my feed before I get this day officially kicked off. Have a good one.

GM Nostr friends!

GM Nostr friends. A bright sunshiny day to you all. Anyone getting DMs from bots trying to impersonate the big names around here? Apparently both Walker and Ross have sent me messages, but I'm more than a little suspicious. 🤨

GM Nostr friends! Let's do this. Already chugged an iced coffee. Gonna put down some scrambled eggs and my regular hot coffee next. 🤪

Absolutely gorgeous day today. Massive doses of coffee this morning to make it through church, and then home for some lunch and a much-needed nap. Walked the dog as soon as I got home, and didn't want to come inside. It's about 55F (12C) right now. Sunny, light breeze, and all the snow we got last week is melting like crazy. Very much hoping to see the first of our neighborhood crocus peeping their little green tips up this next week if I'm lucky.

Daylight Savings is stupid. Morning, nostr friends, but a grumpy, tired one.

GN Nostriches. Sleep well.

GM Nostr friends. Happy Saturday!

GN Nostr friends. Doggy meet & greet went well today. They kept Lu for a bit while we ran a couple errands. She was slobbery (not usual for her) from running around and panting so much. Passed out hard while we watched Reacher tonight, so thumbs up for doggy daycare trial run. Other than that, looking forward to a quiet weekend. Anyone have fun plans?

GM Nostr friends. Happy Friday. Taking my Lulu in to a dog daycare place called Dogtopia this afternoon for a meet & greet. Excited but nervous, as she doesn't do well in kennels generally. Hoping to use their services instead of trying to rely on my ailing dad or friends to watch the pup when Hubby and I are gone for hours at a time or going out of town. Unrelated question: What signing key do you all use for your Nostr site(s) of preference on the web? I was on nos2x-fox originally, then Alby for a while, then Nostr Connect, and now I'm back to using nos2x-fox for Librewolf again. Alby freaked out when I used Coracle, but generally behaved okay everywhere else. I didn't want to run my own hub or pay, so I got rid of it. Nostr Connect was slow and didn't interact well with most Nostr sites, only occasionally being recognized. Despite Mozilla's recent privacy statements, I still choose to use Firefox-based browsers vs Chrome, so I've gone from Brave back to Librewolf. For reference, I'm on Windows 11 for work, and Fedora for my personal computer.

The American healthcare system is such a joke. A couple weeks ago, I had a small mole removed from the side of my right thigh near my knee. Maybe 20 minutes worth of work. As an out-of-network provider, I now owe over $1K, and that is after my insurance chipped in a bit. A rep I talked to suggested that I get my primary care clinic to write a referral back to my insurance so my dermatology clinic could be reclassified as "in network". Then I'd have to contact dermatology again in order to ask them to reprocess my charges and see if I can pay slightly less. Of course, this is after I've already forked over ~$400, so I'll also have to ask for a refund if insurance ends up covering more of it. I've had at least five phone calls and multiple messages back and forth already between my primary care clinic, the insurance, and the dermatology clinic, and I'm still waiting on my insurance to let me know if the primary's referral was approved. All this for a tiny mole that was just a little suspect. Frickin' A, man.

GM Nostr friends. Bright sunshine here today, and everyone's in a better mood. Have a good day.
