  At the point in the one handed keyboard setup where I am painstakingly adding stickers for various key layers. And ow. There is pain. Also, I need a way to label some of the keys still. A labelmaker may be in my future.

  A friend who works at a hospital messaged me to see if the referral to the hand surgeon had maybe gotten lost. I texted my dr's office, and THREE MONTHS LATER they don't know if the hand surgeon has even accepted the referral. I have had problems with this office recently so if this has fallen through I am definitely looking for a new doctor because the NP I have been seeing has been really dismissive already and I am getting pissed off. I lost my 30s to vertigo caused by this b...

  Thanks to physio suggestions and bike mods I just had my first decent complete workout in ages. I hurt, but in good ways. Woohoo!

  Red level tornado warning. That is exciting. 😬

  To get to and from the floor safely with one hand when needed, the physiotherapist recommended a modified Turkish get up. My gods that is a workout, especially for someone who hasn't been able to do much exercising for a while. 😟

  Gu Ho is dressed as a bandit in the Joseon era, chasing after a maiden Yi Rang as part of a story being told by James to some marks. Yi Rang's "father" begs for the bandit to not take his daughter, and in the process manages to pants Gu Ho. Partner: don't look honey! Me: that's an elasticised waistband, highly unlikely to have existed at all in the Joseon era, let alone in the possession of a bandit. Partner: damn, too late. #kdrama #ConfidenceQueen

  Question for #3dPrinter , #Accessibility , and #Bicycle folks out there... I am trying to figure out an adaptation for my exercise bike to allow me to ride it while I have a hand injury that makes it impossible to put pressure on the top of my palm to ride. I have a Bowflex C6 that I can't adjust the handles on. I am looking for the right words to find an attachment for the handlebars, or an example of a print for something that would let me use my wrist/bottom of palm for any type of bik...

  RE: https://mas.to/@mardigroan/117048715357272397 I lead one meeting at work, and it is very popular since I have been able to replace it with a Slack thread every week for months. The work involved has actually become more efficient since I did this as well.

  @fesshole@mastodon.social seems gramatically and contextually correct to me.

  My cats don't get treats often. Having had various cats with dietary issues means we tend to stick to kibble and wet only, with kibble doubling as treats. A friend brought a bag of Temptations for them, and they obviously love it. Because of Hector's IBS they only get one piece very occassionally, and afterwards they hunt EVERYWHERE to see if they can find more, for a long time. Their attention span is never this good for anything else. Definitely Kitty Crack. #CatsOfMastodon

  The pipe the Queen Dowager is smoking... is that opium? I think opium pipes were smaller bowled, but the length and shape seem right otherwise. #EastPalace #kdrama

  I collect old cookbooks, have for decades. I thrift a lot of them, and I am notici g a shift in what is available as different generations downsize/pass on. What I have seen for the last few years is the disappearance of cookbooks published in the early to mid 20th. This was a golden era of cookbooks as families that lost their wealth in the WWs had to stop hiring staff and cook for themselves for the first time. Lots of companies published detailed books to help, and to advertise and sell the...

  I very carefully packed my lunch so I didn't forget anything. Naturally, I now have a bun and no sandwich filling to look forward to. 🤦‍♀️

  Are there scams where someone bumps your car and then insists you go to the body shop of a relative with a sob story about insurance? Or did I just find a weird and specific genre of person doing the rear ending today? (I am fine, car doesn't seem badly damaged, insurance totally invoked, I am just weirded out a bit about the events of the day).

  I feel like calling this show a comedy is too light a term. It's possibly satire. The best word I can match with it though is surreal. The talking horse, the gangsters, the restaurant politics, the relationships.... it is all surreal. Like it was written after consuming a large amount of soju. #WokOfLove #kdrama

  I am finally tossing the Electronics Fundamentals Second Edition textbook I used in college back in *1994* because I have finally decided to admit that it just isn't useful anymore. This is a huge step forward. I deserve chocolate.

  I have finally figured out how to rent a movie on Viki and watch it on the media PC, so tonight we watch #TheKingsWarden #kdrama

  Air quality is moderate! Moderate! It's still almost 5 times the recommended WHO value, but at least going outside isn't completely hazardous.

  Partner is amused by my tendency to yell at the TV during #kdramas. Usually at romantic leads when they are doing something stupid. It's cathartic. And interactive viewing has to be better than passive, right? I made the mistake of encouraging him to try it. He has begun to yell "Fighting!" in varying pronunciations when someone is about to do something obviously stupid. When a couple does something romantic he yells "they have grandchildren now!" N...

  RE: https://the.bisexuals.town/@leifur/116943540810914620 My experience with renting a car in Iceland 11 years ago was a few minutes of paperwork followed by an extended lecture on where we could and could not drive the car, including detailed info on what would happen if we disregarded the lecture, and a lengthy talk about not relying on GPS and buying a paper map of the island so we didn't accidentally go somewhere we shouldn't. It was so strongly emphasised that I still have...

  I am now 3 days behind on work that has to be done onsite due to company event and smoke. There is still smoke, but I can't keep putting this off. At least it's my half day. But ugh. Not looking forward to this.

  Not buying this whole evil hospital chief plot, nor the confidence with which confidence queen is performing surgery. We expect a setup on the table. #kdrama #ConfidenceQueen

  Kind of glad I ditched the smart watch when I opened the fitness app for it by accident and was promptly greeted with a message to consent to AI using the data for training purposes. Did not consent, and now am deleting my data because heck no. Absolutely not.

  Jang Young Nam is old enough to play a Queen Dowager? She is slightly younger than me, so now I feel old. 🤣 #TheEastPalace #kdrama

  Heat, unhealthy air quality, and risk of severe storms. But kids' baseball is still a go, because what is safety anymore.

  Baby Hector is glad I am home this morning so he stays close. Not too close, because he thinks he's not a baby anymore. But close, because really he is. #Caturday #CatsOfMastodon

  "Record setting heat" is not the headline I want to see ahead of a day of physical labour in an area with no AC. 🥵😓
