(Again. I tried it some years back and didn’t like it.) I still don’t like it. I probably should have got something smaller than a liter.27 Jul 2026 16:11 +0000at://did:plc:ijbgtp2u4v7rpjxhmhcpp2sq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrnbw6fjmc2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/shanna.bsky.social/post/3mrlrgwgrcc2aTurns out I can get Paramount+ for free through my cable subscription. So now I can watch Star Trek without giving stupid Skydance any of my money. At least not directly. But I have to watch ads, ew. But anyway.. time for new Strange New Worlds!! Yay!27 Jul 2026 01:43 +0000at://did:plc:ijbgtp2u4v7rpjxhmhcpp2sq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrlrgwgrcc2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/shanna.bsky.social/post/3mrbfdnmfz22iNot getting enough sleep really just ruins the entire day. Didn’t finish what I wanted to at work, because my brain was slow. Scrambling to get stuff after work that I don’t feel like doing because I’m tired (but I would otherwise want to do). I’m tired, hungry, rushed, and a little grumpy. Meh.22 Jul 2026 22:40 +0000at://did:plc:ijbgtp2u4v7rpjxhmhcpp2sq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrbfdnmfz22ihttps://bsky.app/profile/shanna.bsky.social/post/3mr7ae2auas2lThe power just flickered off for a few seconds two separate times now. And I did not have my phone (or any battery powered lights) near me the first time, and I did not much care for that. Time to search for battery backup night lights..22 Jul 2026 02:05 +0000at://did:plc:ijbgtp2u4v7rpjxhmhcpp2sq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mr7ae2auas2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/shanna.bsky.social/post/3mr2cibhoh22hSince Disney is so into making all the nostalgic remakes and sequels (which, honestly, I don’t mind), they should start doing some of the DCOMs. Watching The Color of Friendship now, and a sequel to this (which would never actually happen, I know) would be really cool.20 Jul 2026 03:00 +0000at://did:plc:ijbgtp2u4v7rpjxhmhcpp2sq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mr2cibhoh22hhttps://bsky.app/profile/shanna.bsky.social/post/3mqzy3kzigs2rI finally bought the ingredients to DIY my own LMNT powder. And I calculated the price, it’s less than 5 cents a serving! (LMNT is $1.50 a serving.) The flavored packets might be worth it, but I prefer the raw unflavored, and I just can’t with that price diff. But I love that they shared the recipe!19 Jul 2026 23:54 +0000at://did:plc:ijbgtp2u4v7rpjxhmhcpp2sq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqzy3kzigs2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/shanna.bsky.social/post/3mqxikshj3c2iThinking about deleting all my social media accounts. Or maybe just all my posts. I just really do not like the idea of feeding the AI. Plus, I waste so much time scrolling. But there are still (increasingly fewer) things I like about it. And, I’ve been using it for over 20 years! Hard to give up!19 Jul 2026 00:11 +0000at://did:plc:ijbgtp2u4v7rpjxhmhcpp2sq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqxikshj3c2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/shanna.bsky.social/post/3mqxaqfqxcs2iI kind of _want_ to eat at Taco Bell now. They’re the only company involved in all this to be pro-active about it. (Though, realistically, I probably won’t. I typically only eat fast food on road trips. But they’ve definitely earned some good will. Maybe on the next road trip.)18 Jul 2026 21:51 +0000at://did:plc:ijbgtp2u4v7rpjxhmhcpp2sq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqxaqfqxcs2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/shanna.bsky.social/post/3mqtf73nzz22dKeep seeing posts about how standard time is better than DST because it more closely aligns with solar time, which is better for our circadian rhythms, and.. _sigh_, I am (very reluctantly) coming around to it. Science over feelings (I keep telling myself..)17 Jul 2026 09:00 +0000at://did:plc:ijbgtp2u4v7rpjxhmhcpp2sq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqtf73nzz22dhttps://bsky.app/profile/shanna.bsky.social/post/3mqtaidm53s2pI am just not meant to sleep well tonight it seems. TV woke me up at 12:30 (forget to set the sleep timer), and now thunderstorm just woke me up at 3:30. Sigh. At least today is a WFH day.17 Jul 2026 07:36 +0000at://did:plc:ijbgtp2u4v7rpjxhmhcpp2sq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqtaidm53s2phttps://bsky.app/profile/shanna.bsky.social/post/3mqsoe7eook2fDoes Amazon realize the music in their Health AI commercials gives majorly uncomfortable and dystopian “something’s not right here” vibes?

Leave it as is (It’s a good system! It shifts the daylight to when it’s most useful to most people. It takes like 3 days to adjust to a change, people are effing babies about it!) 2. Permanent DST (I’ll gladly take dark mornings over 5 pm and earlier sunsets.) …15 Jul 2026 16:51 +0000at://did:plc:ijbgtp2u4v7rpjxhmhcpp2sq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqp6lmw24s2khttps://bsky.app/profile/shanna.bsky.social/post/3mqkusxzkrk2sMy power has been out for 2 hours, and that is plenty long enough. I want to watch TV! Got my emergency radio at least. And some books. But.. meh. I gotta meter my phone usage so it doesn’t die. Note to self: Charge all my spare power banks and devices every month. Especially in the summer.13 Jul 2026 23:46 +0000at://did:plc:ijbgtp2u4v7rpjxhmhcpp2sq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqkusxzkrk2shttps://bsky.app/profile/shanna.bsky.social/post/3mqjoragjfc2oWell, guess today I will try blanching some salad greens for the first time. Worried about this dang parasite (stupid Doge!), but I really want salad!

Facebook and Twitter don’t need to verify my age (if they ever ask, I haven’t got a prompt yet), because my _accounts_ are 21 and 18 years old, respectively. (Man. That kinda stings.)12 Jul 2026 13:30 +0000at://did:plc:ijbgtp2u4v7rpjxhmhcpp2sq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqhbwvzmvs2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/shanna.bsky.social/post/3mqbqnw6pqc23Ugh, forgot to take my sleeping pill.

And, I did get some beach time in yesterday at least.05 Jul 2026 00:10 +0000at://did:plc:ijbgtp2u4v7rpjxhmhcpp2sq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpubysunlk2khttps://bsky.app/profile/shanna.bsky.social/post/3mppbtej6hk2oTbh, I haven’t really felt any patriotism since the Snowden leaks happened and I realized that the government can be bad, actually. But I’d thought/hoped for the last few years that it’d be cool to celebrate the 250th. But nope. Things are worse than ever (in modern times), and everything sucks.03 Jul 2026 00:24 +0000at://did:plc:ijbgtp2u4v7rpjxhmhcpp2sq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mppbtej6hk2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/shanna.bsky.social/post/3mphlukp6o22aI am really good at putting off going to the grocery. Almost doordashed dinner, but that’s just so dang expensive, can’t do that too often. Scrounged together a very mediocre burrito bowl from some pantry staples.29 Jun 2026 23:02 +0000at://did:plc:ijbgtp2u4v7rpjxhmhcpp2sq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mphlukp6o22ahttps://bsky.app/profile/shanna.bsky.social/post/3mpgie7uauc2aI think I’m at the point where if an app asks for my ID or age verification, I’m just not gonna use it anymore. There are very few apps I actually need to use, and most I’d prolly be better off without them in my life, tbh.29 Jun 2026 12:27 +0000at://did:plc:ijbgtp2u4v7rpjxhmhcpp2sq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpgie7uauc2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/shanna.bsky.social/post/3mpfjf3r5ns2aWanted to watch a familiar movie tonight, decided on The Fox and The Hound. Never really hear anyone talk about this one, but it’s probably my favorite non-princess, non-Pixar Disney movie. I’ve loved it since I was a kid. Always makes me cry.29 Jun 2026 03:13 +0000at://did:plc:ijbgtp2u4v7rpjxhmhcpp2sq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpfjf3r5ns2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/shanna.bsky.social/post/3mpek57onbs2aWhen you’re craving chips, but you don’t have any chips.

Desperately need to catch up on cleaning and laundry. But also just kinda wanna chill and do nothing.27 Jun 2026 12:40 +0000at://did:plc:ijbgtp2u4v7rpjxhmhcpp2sq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpbi57cbjs2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/shanna.bsky.social/post/3mp3fdivpj22xJust rewatched Toy Story 3, and, despite knowing exactly what was going to happen, still cried my eyes out at the end. And teared up in the incinerator scene. And I lol’d many times. Such a freakin’ great movie! Hopefully I’ll finally get to go see the new one soon.25 Jun 2026 02:33 +0000at://did:plc:ijbgtp2u4v7rpjxhmhcpp2sq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mp3fdivpj22xhttps://bsky.app/profile/shanna.bsky.social/post/3mow6y4y6322xBeen rewatching all the Toy Storys over the past week or so, as I’m sure many others have, and, man, these movies are so good! Haven’t seen 5 yet, but I’m confident I will love it. And I will happily watch as many Toy Storys as they want to make.23 Jun 2026 00:56 +0000at://did:plc:ijbgtp2u4v7rpjxhmhcpp2sq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mow6y4y6322xhttps://bsky.app/profile/shanna.bsky.social/post/3motfime5i22xAsked my dad if he wanted to go see the Toy Story movie. First thing he said (which I, sadly, anticipated) was “Is it woke?” He didn’t used to be like that.
