  1. We have some hot cross buns left.
  2. Monday is a public holiday so I’m on a three-day break now.
  3. Jeremy doesn’t mind if I don’t do the washing up for days (he does all the cooking, so the washing up is mine).

  1. Lisa couldn’t find any hot cross buns, so got me fruit teacakes instead to hit a similar spot. Toasted teacakes with lots of butter on, nom.
  2. Lisa cleaned the bunnies out for me because I cut my finger.
  3. Weekend!

  1. Standing in the sun when I’m cold.
  2. A pleasant few hours on a couch outside messing around with Tasker on my phone.
  3. The post from @philip in the “TaskRatchet integration confusion” thread! I was feeling bad about not being able to better communicate with that user so I’m impressed and happy that Philip thought to click through to their profile to find their language.

  1. A flock of ducks in the park.
  2. For a few days now, I’ve had “email houseplants” on my todo list, from being distracted while writing a reminder to water them. It amuses me every time I see it.
  3. The Palo Alto company has been using meddler-in-the-middle as a new name for man-in-the-middle attacks. I love it because it better describes the attack as well as being ungendered.

  2. Rereading K.J. Charles’ The Magpie Lord, and grateful for all the stuff she provides free.
  3. Lisa mostly makes the bed on their own after we wash the sheets, because a) I don’t understand how their weighted blanket cover goes on, and b) for some reason I have extremely weak grip in my hands and have difficult doing it.
