I made the reservation right as they opened on May 8th. I got my invite link on June 11th, and it arrived at my door on Monday, June 15th.

I’ve been recovering from bottom surgery, still on my first week of being home from the hospital. Moving around has been hard, so I spent today watching TV (Dropout’s GameChanger and Invincible S4), speaking to friends online or who visit, and doing some hand sewing. Well, plus my surgery maintenance.

When I started college, I still had somewhat of a picky palette. Would pick a lot off my meals and stick to safer foods. My partner at the time started coercing me to try foods or ingredients I didn’t like, for example sliced raw tomato on a deli sandwich. This ended up working very well for many things: tomato, broccoli, cauliflower, pineapple, and a few others. This could’ve been attributed to me “growing up” or finally being exposed to better preparations than what I had before college, but I like to think she had the largest influence.

The only one that wouldn’t work is pickles. Couldn’t stand them despite liking cucumbers and vinegar. For all other foods, I’d forcibly eat them until one day I’d form a “craving”, somewhat Stockholm syndrome-ing myself. Pickles never worked. At least, not for 9 years from when this venture began. During this past August, while grocery shopping I finally got my craving so I bought a jar and finished it within 2 days.

Next up, maybe red wine or beer.

I used Linksys for a while but went to TP Link to dip my toes into a mesh system. Any recommended alternatives that aren’t Unifi? I’m not opposed to Unifi, they just tend to be the most expensive outside of looming at the used marketplace, which is sometimes hard to catch good deals.

I got a domain that I only use for email right now but I’d love to set something like this up. Any recommendations on tutorials?

If I had a nickel for each time I commented this, I’d have 3. That’s all.
