I don’t always have a lot of confidence in myself when it comes to computers. Even though I actually know quite a bit—things that many average users wouldn’t—I still find myself feeling incompetent at times. Take this morning, for example. I needed to scan something, which normally wouldn’t be an issue, except my keyboard wasn’t…

I updated my devices with the new Apple update and really like the new design, though it took a while—especially on my laptop. I try to keep it up to date, but sometimes I fall behind on updates. Now that Sandy has moved from my desk, I finally have some space to work. Oh! I…

Today, my mind feels unsettled. I am irritable, though I can’t pinpoint a cause, and it’s aggravating. I made myself some tea, which soothed me somewhat, but I still resent my thoughts turning against me. I plan to eat soon—hopefully, a meal will steady me and improve my mood. The power keeps glitching, and every…

The weather is finally starting to cool down. Nights have been chilly enough that I’ve turned off the swamp cooler, and the house stays comfortable without it. Today’s high is 78 with clear, sunny skies—warm in the sun but with that first touch of autumn in the air. It feels like the season is slowly…

I finished Made in Manhattan last night. It was a quick, light read—cute and charming. The story felt like a reverse My Fair Lady or Pygmalion, with the woman taking on the challenge of transforming a man to fit into her upper-crust New York world. An interesting twist on a familiar theme. Kel went in…

Today feels much calmer than it did 24 years ago, even with recent events. September 11th will always carry weight, but the intensity has softened with time. The fear, grief, and shock of that day have given way to quieter moments of reflection. We remember where we were, how the world changed, and the lives…

This morning I made myself a maple chai tea, and it turned out really good. I only added a teaspoon of maple syrup—just enough to sweeten it without overpowering the chai. You could still taste both the chai and the maple. I forgot to add vanilla extract, but honestly, it still tasted great. I even…

My room overlooks the driveway, so I can see when anyone pulls in. That’s why I spent the whole morning in there with my laptop, keeping an eye out for the pest control team. I worked while also glancing out the window— for hours. Eventually, Kel called the pest control after I mentioned they still…

Tommy was cleaning out his car’s center console and found a couple of black tea packets tucked in there. I’m guessing they only got there in the past few days, so they should still be good. I might make myself a London Fog with one of them later. Right now, though, I’m just sipping on…

My doctor’s appointment took us an hour to get to, and the actual visit lasted all of five minutes. CT scans really are that quick. It’s wild that they couldn’t schedule me in the city, especially since it’s the same hospital system. My ENT appointment in October is also at the same place where I…
