    I finally got my taxes done today. That is a chore that could be made so much easier.

    We got a barbecue and I love it. It’s a little bit big for the space, but it fits. I didn’t get a cover just yet, and it started spitting a bit. We just used the tongs we had in the kitchen drawer, instead of buying one of them fancy kits.

    I went to Home Depot today but I didn’t walk out with any tools. Or wood. I left with a new barbecue, some patio tiles, and a propane tank. Boy, was I thrilled.

    I started riding my e-bike to work on Tuesday and it’s been the best commute I’ve ever had to work. Prior to Tuesday, I would only ride my e-bike to the shop, but then the weather got better.

    I tried to publish a blog post yesterday only to find out that the website has been down for a while. What was meant to be a quick, 15- to 20-minute thing turned into me trying to figure out DNS settings with blurry eyes until about midnight. Somehow, I ended up getting it to work.

    I woke up this morning with a bit of a sore throat — nothing to write home about. After getting home from work, for the last five hours, I’ve developed a cold. Never before have I gotten this sick this quickly. There are usually warning signs that I ignore. What’s also new about this experience…

    I’m forever asking Hannah if she can see my boobs through the shirt I’m wearing. I hold them like they need to be supported while asking. Every time, she says that she can’t. “Really? You can’t see my moobs?”

    While walking to my haircut appointment this afternoon, I realised that I don’t actually listen to the words in songs. It’s been a while since I’ve taken a walk with my headphones on, something I love to do, so I haven’t been paying such close attention to what I’ve been listening to. Chelsea Cutler has…

    I was working away at a few things today. I put the first coat of wipe-on poly on the bookshelf. Finished turning a bowl. Made a handle for the crochet kit and filmed it for Monday’s video. Once these things are wrapped up, I’ve got a few more things to get started on, like yarn…

    I’m having a hard time trying to figure out what to write about today. In some ways, that’s not a bad thing. Having a slow day is good.
