i guess i'm just writing a bit more inconsistently since my week of house-sitting. which honestly is fine. sometimes it feels good to just... accept and embrace mental scatteredness.
what's going on?
- on sunday we went to meet up with andrei's family for indian food and then we went to the thrift store.
- our upstairs neighbors moved out and sold us their washer dryer in the basement, so we can do laundry in our own home now. luxurious!
- i got into "home assistant" (the open source automation app) through doing the kobo python wall display project. i started running it on a VM on my desktop computer instead of a docker container for networking reasons. it seems to be working well and i was able to bridge a bunch of lighting controls to apple homekit, so that enjoyably scratched some "random tech project that improves my life slightly" itches.
- i also did some more automation stuff for the rhino/adobe file workflows at work. i can now do a bunch of things that would have taken an hour or so in just a few minutes.
- it was hot and humid and there were also hornets, so we haven't done much outside work.
- andrei and i watched a very incoherent detective dee movie last night and now we are watching once upon a time in china.
- i wanted to go to the gym yesterday but i was too drained from the heat so i went today instead. among other things, i ran a mile in 12.5 minutes. (previously i did it in like... 14?)
- i gave my plants a bath.
