Good morning, all you beautiful rock suckers--and all the rest besides. 🪨🌺
The malls open later on Sundays, so it's just a workflow muddle from start to finish this weekend.
Will longform a few things while waiting at the mall for laptop repair (was in the middle of two newsletter drafts and an OnlySky essay), but pragmatically, it's best to clear small tasks today and aim to reset on a better note Monday morning.
So much for grand plans! I always think I'm going to get more done than I do. 🙃
@MLClark Expectation is one thing, but your best is always good enough.
I hope its a nice and restful Sunday!
@MLClark “rock suckers” 🤣 hope you get everything accomplished today. I need to make a to do list, catching an early morning flight to California on Wednesday.
@NiveusLepus you’d have to go to her timeline from last evening. But it’s good to just nod and go on.
@NiveusLepus not me! Never me! Ok. Maybe me.
😁 We may have had a wild rumpus here, 'tis true!

Hope it all goes smoothly, Noel! Sounds like you've got a good holiday season lined up for yourself.
@MLClark I know what you need!
Typewriter.
A portable mechanical typewriter.
That way you'll have a good portion of the speed/reproducibility of typing, and very little of the inconvenience of handwriting, even when the computer's not working or the power is out.
Plus it's generally easier to diagnose what's wrong with mechanical stuff, because you can actually see what's going on.
We have lots of complex (electro)mechanical stuff at work; we love it because it's eminently repairable.

Not deleting that post for a wee bit of mistyping. Embracing the mess today!
