Nov. 13th, 2023 01:27 amI had a realization the other day when I was looking around the "post" feature to see if I'd been using the beta screen or what, if I was going to have to get used to another interface. And that realization is that I joined LJ in either college or just out of college, and I was on DeadJournal before that, meaning I have been on some LiveJournal or another type of site for about twenty years.
That's a lot of years. That's especially a lot of years in Internet Platform time. I don't know what to do with that realization. That's a hell of a lot of years.
Didn't catch up on Nanowrimo as much as I wanted to do over the weekend. Didn't actually get done as much as I wanted to do, but I did get a fair bit done.
(of course now I'm up an hour past my bedtime, but mainly because we had a blood sugar scare with Murdock after his doctor's appointment and I want to be sure his blood sugar isn't tanking after his evening insulin.)
And I'm staying somewhat organized. And... I don't know, things? Stuff? I have so much work to do tomorrow, I meant to get more of it done this weekend and instead I spent yesterday with a head cold.
I tried fussing around with a pasta bake recipe and I think I got it good enough to improve on for a second try without feeling like I'm wasting any ingredients. It'd be better as filled pasta shells, definitely, but I don't have large pasta shells right now. I do still need to make the liquid solution for the macaroni and cheese bake. Which is amazing. I freaking love it. I also got some better cheesees for it. And I didn't get around to trying the spinach dip recipe that I intend to adulterate to take out, what was it? Mushrooms (which are less objectionable, just not to my taste) and fried onion rings (seriously, what even)? Something, there were a few weird things in there. But I can try that either next weekend or later in the week. I'm really enjoying the single serving casserole dishes as hot lunches, especially if half of it's frozen and slowly defrosted over the course of the day. Advantages of working from home.
I don't know, not much else is going on. The wildfires are blessedly coming under control, the closest one to me hasn't grown in days while the containment level has gone steadily up. Another couple fires are either 100% or 95% contained. As of today's summary, the Cherokee fire was reported as having not grown in 24 hours, which is the first day that's happened since it started, and hopefully they can get that under control. I'm having a lot less panic about the whole thing, and it looks like we'll escape without too much loss of structures and I don't think any loss of life? I hope.
At any rate, things are quieter than they have been. I have a dentist appointment later this week and I'm hopeful that's all the excitement we'll have. That's as much excitement as I prefer.
