Little bits
Apr. 28th, 2024 04:32 pm* Zoom with #cupcake, including some new arrivals well after my time at Virtual Hammer
* Explained the Home Assistant automation that sings "Open up the windows!" at us when the living room is hotter than outside (outside trending down past a certain level, living room is hotter than a defined threshold, air quality is not ass; we could think about including a specific "better than indoors" AQI comparison if we had an indoor AQI measurement)
* Mr. Zune is now working where you might think from the name :D (he does not yet own a dusty old zune)
* getting more serious about my sunscreen https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-face-sunscreens/
* My hair is growing back! I'm on the Rogaine (half a pill every morning). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6691938/#Hair%20loss%20is%20one%20of%20the%20common%20side%20effects%20of%20chemotherapy. I got myself a professional haircut to even out the lengths for when it grows out. I'm only wearing a hat while it's chilly out, and my hair is denser than it was before chemo (this is good). The hairstylist was all "this is very short!" but that was a-OK with me! (This will be the second time I've grown it out from basically zero.)
* The Angry Tattooed Man With Kitten still has that cat; his name is Captain Slow, and he is also angry and a claw-based tattoo artist. (There are three other cats as well.) "I don't care how brave you are, he WILL try to kill you. Don't be scared of him, be wary. He will cut you!"
* Another new #cupcake-er has a cat who hates all other 4 and 2 legged creatures. She particularly hates deer.
* managed to get my pain medication shoved through the insurance company with the magic C word, as of Monday
