Fighting to stay awake today, Nostr fam. Coffee isn't helping. Life is coming at us recently, so gotta double down and remember we're children of the living God, under His protection. I'm still worn out, exhausted with everything, but my Creator is by my side.

Cleaned out my closet yesterday and sent two fat bags of clothes back to an online consignment store. Trying to clear out unnecessary stuff for an eventual move, since our townhouse just isn't big enough with all of Hubby's stuff and tools. Picked up a few groceries, came home and spent 20 minutes on the stationary bike grooving to some tunes on Wavlake, then took a nap. Did some work in there somewhere, but this afternoon went by in kind of a blur.

GM/GA Nostr fam. After a busy day yesterday, we're all zonked after church today. Good day to rest in anticipation of another week ahead.

GM Nostr friends. Hubby is off to run some stuff from his mom's house to the local recycling center, leaving me some time to play with my Raspberry Pi and drink my coffee slowly. Twin Cities Agora meetup today! I'm very excited to go check it out. Hubby is cynical, but coming with, even though I offered to let him stay home. Tried to explain to him why I'm so excited about Nostr before bed last night, but he just brushed it off as something no one outside the mainstream will ever use. Be proud of me, friends. I didn't shove him off the bed! 😅

This is completely random, but does anyone have any kind of cooling tech for their bed? I'm thinking BedJet, or something similar. Hubby and I have had trouble sleeping due to our bedroom being crazy hot at night, even with the A/C blasting and multiple fans going.

I have to give a shout out to @ZEUS for being awesome once again. They reached out to me and fixed my Minibits mint issue. (Had to delete and re-add the mint to get it to stop giving me a 'not enough funds' error message.) Thanks guys!

Gooooooood morning Nostr friends. It's FRIDAY. Drinkin' my coffee and eating my Greek yogurt (almost typed 'green'. That would've been gross). Had a dream last night that I had to travel on a plane, and for some reason, that triggered "them" taking Lu away from me, and I had to send my dad to apply to go adopt her again before someone else could. Only felt reassured no one was taking her away when she gave me good morning kisses. Brains are weird. The weekend stretches before us, if only we could fly over this whole work day part. We have a friend coming over tonight to binge a couple episodes of the new season of Wednesday. Can't wait!

Had to share this. My brother in law's golden Remy (short for Remington) with their newest batch of chickens. He is the sweetest, most chill pup ever.

I'm trying very hard to undo bad habits I've learned along the way, but wrestling with a bunch of empty cardboard meant for the recycling in our tiny garage and bashing my elbow against a cupboard just set me off on cursing a blue streak. 🤬 Elbow still hurts, and I can feel a bruise forming.

GM Nostr friends! I'm feeling positive that today is going to be a good day. Siding on the building is done, so no more hammering! Got my Raspberry Pi 500 up and running yesterday. Ran into an issue where my Contour rollermouse seems to lock up the UI, so will be researching that a bit more today, along with whether or not RPi can handle Linux appimage files. 🤔 Oh yeah, and I have work. Guess that factors in somewhere! Lu stayed upstairs in her bed last night, instead of beginning to shiver as soon as it got dark and crawling under the couch for hours. Hubby kept bringing her back upstairs and dropping her in her little bed, and I think after the third time, she finally got the hint. She's started shaking and hiding every night for the last week or so, and we still can't figure out why. Gotta figure out a time soon to take my MIL out for dinner. Her birthday was Tuesday, and last year we just completely let it slip by without celebrating. Not every day someone makes it to 74! Have a fantastic day, Nostriches. Mwah.

First post running on a Raspberry Pi 500! Only issue so far is that it doesn't seem to like my Contour Rollermouse. Keeps freezing, which makes me think it might be overloading the USB port...? Will have to do some more testing. The keyboard is solid. No number pad off to the side, which is kind of a bummer, but using it primarily for personal stuff I shouldn't miss it too much. The micro HDMI was a bit of a bear to wrestle. I have a docking station between my peripherals and my work laptop, so I had to tear that apart (and will have to put it back together before work tomorrow), but otherwise I'm quite pleased. Bought a 256GB micro SD card instead of the standard that came with the device, and will plug that in shortly. Just wanted to get everything set up first and take it for a test run. Next up, connecting with my Start9 server. Poor Hubby will just have to watch Youtube by himself while I play.

GM Nostr friends! We got another Wednesday on our hands. Did some bowling with Hubs and our mutual friend (who actually introduced us) last night, and I am sore from it this morning. Getting old is not for the faint of heart. My Raspberry Pi 500 is supposed to get delivered today! I needed something cheap since I turned my old System76 desktop into a Start9 server. Very excited to get it and start playing around. The building siding project continues. Very hopeful they'll make enough progress to get past our unit today so the hammering is not directly outside my window. Go enjoy your day, all.

Vibe app idea, feel free to steal: Waze (traffic app), but for Nostr. Incorporate points of interest from other Nostr apps, run of top of OpenStreetMap. I would happily pay for an app like that. Especially if it could handle live traffic data and US-based addresses.

Listening to Wavelake's Top 40 while I review my never-ending bug list for work. Find myself skipping a few tracks that don't jive, but really digging @manlikekweks Dropped Lu off at doggy daycare today, as they started working on replacing our building's siding yesterday. The banging noises are giving me a headache, even with noise-cancelling headphones on. (I can feel it through my feet.) I'm trying to get away from the super toxic Youtube Music for my primary music listening app. (Hubby subscribes to Youtube Premium, so we get Music for free.) Any good options out there for mainstream tunes on an app that will work with iOS?
