When recovering from surgery, here are some ideas for how to take care of yourself:

1. Get lots of rest. Your body is rebuilding!

2. Now is the perfect time to catch up on that book series you've been meaning to read.

3. Hydrate well and eat easy to digest food. Eat smaller meals more often. Maybe keep a snack bag by the couch/bed.

4. KNIT SHRIMP.

If you should ever find yourself with a lower leg injury that requires you to be non-weightbearing, try to get your hands on an iWALK knee crutch. It's an amazing piece of technology. Being able to walk around while still having the use of both hands (unlike when using crutches or a knee scooter) is so helpful. I can make a cup of coffee and carry it to the couch.

Yesterday I received a total ankle arthroplasty, so now I am officially a cyborg. Hoping this means our AI overlords will let me live a little longer than the rest of you 100% organic meatbags.

Little known fact, but when John Chowning first discovered/invented FM synthesis, it stood for "fuckin' mental synthesis". Yamaha made him come up with some mathematical "frequency modulation" nonsense instead in order to sell DX7s in regions with profanity laws.

I've never really been an audio quality snob. I figure almost all audio I listen regardless of source is high enough quality to not be able to tell a difference.

But I just switched from Spotify to Tidal, migrated all my playlists over and, well, I was wrong. It literally sounds like I bought a new better pair of headphones.

Current status: Reading the entire manual for my new (to me) vehicle. Because I guess I am that kind of nerd. But at least now I finally know what "ECT PWR" does.

A day in the life of a perfectionist:

1. Be making a bullet list.

2. Don't put periods at the end of each item because they are short and it's cleaner without them.

3. Eventually reach a bullet that has multiple sentences. This one is.

4. Ugh, have to go back and update them all to have periods, otherwise they are inconsistent.

I didn't get Frog's jacket done in time but otherwise Frog and Toad was a success. The kids adore them, which is everything I hoped for and everything I need in this world. #knitting
