No LSD but that song by Country Joe and the Fish is good for a Monday as I drink too much coffee and pop caffeine pills as I’m ready to get moving as I return to work after the holidays and the COVID which is why I honestly don’t remember much about the holidays.

That cold ❄️ feels good on the face, as I go for my morning walk. 🚶 Cloudy ☁️ day out but it’s getting lighter out as morning approaches. My hands 👐 are cold because I’m trying to blog while walking in the cold. I’m glad to be back at it, I think I’m going to start doing morning walks again even if it is kind of dark. Maybe evening walks then retire to the heated blanket in bed 🛏️ to read. Especially on cold dark nights like tonight will be!

Bread 🍞 and 15 bean soup is cooking down in the kitchen along with spaghetti squash. Lots of good eats after I get home 🏡 in the cold tonight. Probably won’t stay up real late but I want to study Qt slots and signals more. I’m finally starting to understand responsive design in Qt but I still find it a bit tricky to fully understand passing data around between windows plus the many wonderful data structures that make up Qt.

My brake bleed was a failure at the bike 🚲 but I’m not ready to give up yet. Might have to order more brake fluid but I want to learn myself. 🔧 I really got to get up to Troy Bicycle Rescue and get to know those folks so I can learn the skills to be better at maintaining my bike. It’s going to be cold this week so I don’t expect I’ll be riding much and I thought about going to Troy on Wednesday if they’re open but I’m concerned about it snowing ☃️ and I’m not going to drive in that.

I really like that Salvation Army shirt 🧑‍💼I got, it makes me look professional but casual and is one of several I got so I have a bunch of clothing options now to wear that are professional but not too fancy that can be worn with blue jeans. Really you can get some good things thrifting. Plus I love that lamp I got for my office 🏢.
