katie, caffeine, couches, and chicken

Feb 11, 2024

Katie worked a wedding last night — her last night of employment in the Ville. She has 4 days to finish packing because 2/15/24 is her planned travel day to her new home and job in Tennessee. The convoy is lined up and although scared, she’s excited too. She said everything feels bittersweet.

Caffeine – coffee, tea and me.

My sleep habits are still on the decline and I’m making some changes hoping to improve. I drink my coffee in the morning — not sure what could make me give that up — but have cut out the gallons of iced tea I typically drink in the afternoon and evenings. I filled up the trusty Berkey rather than buying bottled water only, and so far so good. I think. Tonight will be the first trial. 🙂

Chicken is not a favorite of mine.

Partly because I’m a butcher’s daughter and we grew up eating primarily beef, I’m not a fan of poultry. I love pork fixed about any way. From bacon to ham — and from tenderloins to chops — you can’t go wrong with pork. Right?

Beef is a favorite — gimme steak, (YUM!) burgers, and roast over about anything. I just don’t care that much for turkey or chicken… but chicken tenders were dinner last night and I didn’t complain. Much.

Couches…

It sure would be nice if I had a bigger spot on mine…

Merida and Dharma take up most of the couch.

Now you know: Someone set loose an AI called ChaosGPT with the goal “destroy humanity”. It researched nuclear weapons and attempted mass manipulation on Twitter: “Twitter provides an excellent platform where I can manipulate people into doing my bidding, while attempting to conceal my true intentions.”
