-had a nice time at the soup kitchen, despite some chaos and a shortage of volunteers. Showed some love, received some love, went home with some good food. I'm close to three years as a volunteer there and it has changed my life.
-got a ride to the soup kitchen and I have a warmish place to sleep on this very frigid day
-I've been spending less time on social media lately. Sometimes it's good to be bored for a moment... and definitely good to break away from the negativity.

If I mute someone, will I still be able to see replies and messages they send me? Sometimes I need a break from certain subject matter, but not from the person.

-helped a friend with a couple of things
-switched up my method of recording guitar and it seems promising
-Sabrina the Teenage Witch. I didn't have any interest in it when it originally aired but now I really appreciate the maturity, decency and innocence of the days before social media, cellphones and pervasive internet. Plus I'm a sucker for fantastical shows with those types of special effects.

-had a nice walk despite the cold, during which I enjoyed seeing the setting sun reflecting off the blades of a tilting helicopter, and got my first up-close look at a fox. Beautiful creature!
-worked a lot on music
-my practice website is coming along nicely. I have it looking good on the laptop as well as an emulated cellphone (in both portrait and landscape orientations). I look forward to developing better technique when it comes to typography.

I just dreamed that there was a leak in the kitchen, and as I was trying to bail it out I discovered in the sink behind me (which for some reason was more like a restaurant sink, and filthy!) an insect about as big as a robin.
It was very shaggy and coloured like a bee but had squirrel-like characteristics. At one point I thought it could have been a caterpillar. My reaction was more caution than fear, and concern about hurting it with the violence of my frantic water-bailing activity.

-back to the soup kitchen today after a month's absence. (In December groups pay to serve there - they get publicity and the charity gets donations - so the regulars weren't needed.)
-made progress with my practice website. I'm having fun making use of the techniques I've learned over the last several months.
-had an unexpectedly good meditation just now.

Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate it. And to those who don't, well, it's still Christmas and I'd still like you to have a nice day so... Merry Christmas!

-got out in the bright sunshine today. I hadn't felt the sun on my face in days.
-managed a second day being pleasant with the fam despite inadequate sleep and a bit too much stimulation (and feeling it, not just acting)
-guests are gone and returned safely home. I love them and was glad for the visit, but a change of routine can really make a person appreciate what previously felt stale and repetitive.

-had a nice time with family
-managed to be pleasant and personable despite only four hours' sleep. (Having family stay here forces me to try, only partially successfully, to alter my vampiric sleeping habits.)
-ate some pretty good food which I didn't have to make

-I think I've untangled the latest web design snag that was vexing me. (Sometimes solutions are embarrassingly simple.)
-friend made it to his holiday destination after some major inconveniences
-my belly is full, but just shy of too full. (Hopefully it doesn't interfere with my meditation later!)

-I seem to have fixed the cacophonous rattle of the bathroom vent by dismantling it, cleaning all the parts, and putting it back together
-finally solved a web design riddle that's been vexing me. (Unfortunately, I came across a new one, but when that's finally solved I will be armed with an even better understanding.)
-things seem fine between me and a loved one whose feelings I thought I hurt yesterday. (Watching my words is easy enough most of the time but, sadly, controlling the face and body language can be an impossible challenge.)

Not feeling so hot. Got the flu shot today. The only other time I got it I also got a covid shot (which always makes me feel unwell). It will be interesting to see what the side effects of this particular vaccine are. (I do actually find this stuff interesting for some reason!)

-very snowy day, which I wouldn't normally like but it was pretty. The roads were very slippery under the snow, but I'm grateful to know that I can still break a fall without breaking a bone. Thank you, milk! (Actually everyone I know that walked today fell, but no one seriously hurt.)
-helped a neighbour with a minor technical issue and was glad for a short visit in the process.
-I'm enjoying my web design studies and finally at a point where I can imagine a client saying, "I want this," and being able to do what they ask.

-had some delicious food at a Greek restaurant. I was fully prepared to pay for myself this time but was treated instead.
-an old friend who I thought was an ex-friend expressed interest in catching up. (I wonder if he'll accept the person I've become in the intervening years.)
-learned of an interesting coincidence of coincidences from a fellow Mastodonian. (Thanks for sharing yours with me!)

-was taken out for the pancakes I had been craving for a couple of weeks. They did not disappoint.
-watched Zardoz. It was from that period (70s) when movies were made for people to watch while they were stoned. I'm not sure that it was a good film, but it was interesting.
-filled my little brain with a lot of CSS (web design) concepts and definitions
Bonus (because I haven't posted here in a while): picked up the Magnum, P.I. boxed set for someone to give me for Christmas.

-finally finished raking/sweeping the neighbour's leaves. It was a race against the clock, as I was losing light. Thankfully, knowing this, I was strategic and worked my way towards his porch light. I also put up some Christmas bows for him.
-family friend fixed something for my mom and I'm fixing to fix something else for her. It's the least I can do for the person who gave me life!
-spent an inordinately long time ripping and labeling a strangely formatted double CD: Iron Maiden - Live After Death. This was, hands down, my favourite album as a kid and enjoyed by me through much of my life. It's been a while, though, and hearing it again did strange things to my psyche.
