I just got today, in the mail, my "paid in full" papers for a mortgage I refinanced (and thus paid off in full) in August 2019.

The group I'm in has a job opening for Lead Site Reliability Engineer (SRE). This is to replace someone I worked with who left to join a company his friends recruited him to, so I will probably work with whoever takes this job.

Just learned there is a YA book coming out soon in which a teen looks for clues about her birth mother in HER DAD’s LIVEJOURNAL. I don’t know if Iâ ( Read more... )

I posted elsewhere but forgot to post here too!

Know anyone who wants a small inexpensive room in Central Square near the T? My small bedroom is available again, but Ceila and I are here less than half the time, so whoever stays here would get the apartment to themselves a lot of the time. I posted on craigslist for $600/month with Internet ( Read more... )

Earlier this week I intended to make a post this morning noting that it is now two weeks after Ceila and I got Moderna shot #2. That is still true, but it turns out today is also the day my father died. Both are things I have known were coming for about the same amount of time.

One of my tenants on the 2nd floor wants to stay for the summer, after their current lease ends on May 31st. I told her I'm ( Read more... )

Ceila became eligible for making a vaccine appointment at the beginning of the month, while I'm still not eligible (to even make an appointment) - she has health conditions, something I pretty much entirely lack. Usually a good thing!

She searched, couldn't find any appointment slots near us in Seattle, so searched farther and farther out... and ( Read more... )

Having almost finished the regular mushrooms, I put mushrooms on our shopping list. Ceila was the next to go to the store, and bought shiitake mushrooms, a bit different from what I expected. A few days later...

Me: "I've been using the shiitake mushrooms and found that there are a few foods that they don't go as well with as the regular ( Read more... )

I got spam email with subject line "Deal" and message body just "I have a deal for you." Just that, nothing more. It's not a multipart message with an HTML version, it's just text/plain.
