Now that a colleague tested positive for COVID-19 yesterday I'm back to daily testing. No positives yet but my tongue feels weird. No other symptoms yet. F**k! after 4 years of evading this thing I just want it to be over. #maskup when in crowds or high-risk settings! 🤧😷

Taking a post-holiday COVID home test before returning to work. I wish others did the same but no way I can expect that to happen. It'll be "deflector shields up" today at work.

I'm 5 minutes in and the test is negative.

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! I haven't managed to stay up for the NYE ball drop for years now, though yesterday was close! Had I not been comfy in bed watching AppleTV, I might've made it. Well, at any rate, here's to a happy, healthy, prosperous and safe 2024 to all. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

2024 will be the year of change. Just got a very nice job offer. Likely to accept and start in February.

I have just one computer that will support #Windows11 . I tried it before and it was not a good experience. Allowing Microsoft time to address some issues, I'm giving it another go. It's installing as I write this post.

It appears that MASTODON.SOCIAL and MASTODON.ONLINE are the only available servers. I'm on MASTODON.WORLD. Does that mean cross-platform posting is not available for my account?

If this doesn't prove to the world that Trump is an untrustworthy fraud and liar nothing will. (Sorry, but articles are behind NYT paywall).

At the ER with Mom after her BP dropped to 80/39 following a dental procedure. Only 90 minutes in so I'm expecting to be here for many more hours. 🫤

As the UK restarts COVID19 surveillance ahead of the winter season, hoping everyone stays safe and that the US employs a dose of commonsense and follows a similar track. https://news.sky.com/story...

I can add replacing a throttle body to the list of things my late father (an auto mechanic) would be proud of. I don't want to jinx myself, but the car is idling much better with the new TB installed. 👍

STAY VIGILANT. I just changed my Facebook password and enabled 2FA (two-factor authentication) after waking to a password reset email I didn't request (I was sleeping!)

I also cleaned up login devices despite Meta not making these changes easy.

The hackers are persistent. We CANNOT let them win!

New COVID BA.2.86 is in Michigan. With 30 mutations its transmissibility & ability to cause severe disease remains unknown. With lax public health measures it's very likely we'll see more about this variant in the months ahead. https://www.cbsnews.com/ne...

Here's the failed logic where current COVID-19 precautions are concerned, e.g., "If you're high risk (elderly, immunocompromised) get boosted, wear a mask and social distance," BUT it's when everyone follows these common-sense rules that maximum protection is afforded to all.

The elitist behavior of the Supreme Court doesn't happen in a vacuum. We're likely to find more examples of when some of these justices lived by a different set of rules. We must bring SCOTUS in line with the same ethical expectations others in government must obey.

At the risk of being an alarmist, I wonder what we'll do exactly if COVID cases go higher. Do public health and government officials really think it'll be easy to get the public to mask, test, vaccinate or isolate after the last CDC messaging disaster? Personally, I doubt it.

COVID hospitalizations are rising. What this means for winter remains uncertain. Because symptoms mirror other respiratory viruses we all should err on the side of caution when we're "sick". That means testing, isolating, staying home from work/school/play and wearing masks.

The weather can't make up its mind... Rain? Thunderstorms? Tornadoes? Risk of all recently forecast for New England. Tornadoes are rare but risk levels are increasing due to climate change.

From the mid-80s until NYE 1999, I enjoyed #NewAge radio on Boston's #WJIB 96.9 FM, prior to a format change on 1/1/2000. I remain a fan of the genre to this day. Right now I'm listening to #PianoInTheWoods by #TimoCapioni on #Spotify .

Took off my walking boot for the first time since spraining my ankle and fracturing the 4th and 5th metatarsal bones in my left foot. The entire foot is swollen but no longer disfigured by swelling at the trauma sites - just swollen globally. Elevated now to see if the swelling comes down.

I've been a klutz today. In ER after missing a couple of steps in my basement. I heard a popping sound and the my foot blew up pretty quickly. Just had second set of x-rays.

Almost 80F here today, which is the warmest day in quite some time. I'm already overheating trying to tidy up around the house. Time to lower the AC. Whew!

Earlier today I made a latte for the first time in many years using my new Stilosa espresso machine from DeLonghi. It was very yummy. My older Krups machine rusted and had to be thrown out some time ago. Easier & cheaper than trekking over to Starbucks.

One of my favorite herbal teas is Fruit & Almond by Bigelow. Now that this flavor has been discontinued all I have left is the 5 1-lb bags I recently purchased from the company. Here's to hoping they'll bring it back some day, or I'll figure out how to make it from scratch.
