The election, we got our vaccinations, the dog's not doing well, Fury is eating baby food again...
I want to do something fun, not stress over life and things I have zero control over.
I guess I didn't react well to the vaccinations. I got both the flu shot and the latest Covid vaccination. The flu shot? The needle was dull. That wasn't fun. I felt fine the days after, but Sunday, I almost passed out.
Brian made a new (to us) dinner, chili cheese fries. They were really good, but my stomach didn't agree. I got really light headed and sat on the sofa for a while then felt like I was going to puke. I didn't but I did rush to the bathroom.
And I was really tired. Like I said, most likely stress and my immune system working to build the immunity to flu and Covid. I'm feeling much better now.
I paid for a third party app to delete all the stuff on my Twitter account. I'd been there since 2010 and looking at my old posts, most of them were fun and cats and pictures and stuff, but what it's become is abhorrent to me. So much hate and anger. And then the new thing that anything I post can be used to train Elmo's AI? Nah. Not gonna happen.
So, stuff all gone, account deactivated.
Back in 2023, I bought one of these little monitors. It's portable and can be used with any of my devices. I got it to help me when I was generating invoices since I had to jump back and forth between the UPS site and my accounting software for tracking numbers. It ended up not being as efficient as I'd hoped, so it just hung around my PC in the office.
Well, when I upgraded the router from a Netgear router (too many problems) to an ASUS, for some reason I couldn't get the machine I used for generating UPS labels recognized. I ended up getting a different model that works. It's not as clean as the official UPS machine, but it does what I need it to do. But I have to have it set as its own printer and change the settings every time I do the labels. I use the laser printer for the receipts (that are attached to the customer paperwork) and this machine for the labels. I use a different browser so I don't have to keep switching printers and settings.
Well, this thing works great for that! I use Firefox to generate the labels, I use Edge to print them out. I have the Firefox browser open on my LG monitor, Edge on the KYY monitor and it works like a dream! I also installed switches so that I can change what's on the KYY. My media machine or the weather machine. It's pretty nice.
I really want to take little videos of my automata toys and share them on Youtube. That's next on my list.
No holiday cards this year because my mood is bah! humbug.
I'm seriously considering selling all of my stock that I've had since the 80s and buying a new car before the new tariffs hit (the car I want is manufactured in Mexico, even though it's a Ford). It will likely be our last new car.
Anyway, that's about it for now.
Have a great day!
