Update: 202202050856: I have ordered the Mac Mini.

Operating this site at limited capacity, thanks to Squarespace's latest sojurn into cocking up their otherwise useful works and rendering my iPad mostly useless when it comes to sitestuff that isn't text or dog/Gumby pictures so, until I make a decision about what to do here, everything requiring embeds and audio (Socialized Recluse, EarBliss, Quotebacks, etc etc) is on hold.

Multiple options: one, wait on them – though I've been waiting on a bug fix they said would take a bit of time for the last two years; two, to dig my 2011 MacBook Air out of cold (literally – it's freezing in my office until I come in and turn on the space heater) – which didn't work and won't work, RIP little buddy; three, waste countless more hours coming up with workarounds for the increasingly massive failure that switching to working entirely on an iPad has become; and four, say fuck it, spring for a Mac Mini (which I should have done in the first place, probably) and move along sans exhausting and time-wasting workarounds in both web, work, and pod-ding while requesting Squarespace to reimburse me the cost because gahfuckshitalltofuck like that last bit is ever going to happen (the Mini probably will, 60/40 at the moment, up from 51/49 before breakfast)…

… but hey it's the day to liberate Teh (other set of) Oldze (because I had a low blood sugar while liberating the first yesterday and couldn't continue on, mostly because I'm running low on glucose shots which reminds me that it's time to stock up on precious fast-acting life-giving horrific-tasting sugar smackies); the day awaits.

snow day, the sequel

+/- a foot of fluffy-ish over a few inches of ice and Kirby is, as ever, thrilled: not only because of the snow but because he likes to steal the shovel during The Great Dig-Out (which will function as a replacement for running because the roads are impassible at present and getting smashed by a snowplow sort of defeats the purpose of running to stay alive and I do love the rhythm of shoveling snow ) – but it's still legions better than last Thursday's/Friday's heatless and hot waterless snow day – so that we can partake in the second and third Great Dig-Outs (operating under the assumption that we can get there) to liberate multiple Oldze: they shall be released / coordinated, perhaps; the day awaits.

we have heat and veg bibimbap

My veg/T1D-friendly bibimbap (tofu + cauliflower rice + green pepper) continues to delight; next up on the tofu experiment, soyrizo.

Winter Storm Landon has arrived bearing ice and, slowly but surely, snow: current guesstimate on the part of meteorologists is 8-11" with a glaze of ice which makes my present concern keeping Teh Oldze vertical and not sprawled out with broken joints in driveways. School was called off for K before end of schoolday yesterday; won't be surprised if she has another long weekend but at least this weekend, this snow day, we've got heat.

First change to the morning routine in awhile: read 25 pages (currently my first re-read of CRIME AND PUNISHMENT in at least 15 years so it’s like reading it for the first time; still adore Dostoyevsky, perhaps more so now) with coffee while office warms up, then get to work until breakfast. Write this thing up and then head back until +/- 0930 or so and call it a day. It'll take some getting used to but I like it so far. Next Modularity shaping up into something or not – but I'm at least having fun with its various modulations.

The day – and abundant slipsliding – awaits.
