A poor photo of a rising red moon. I need a real camera! The months of July and August felt like they flew right by me! They've been especially hot and dry too, which is common for the area this time of year. My yard is crispy dry and dead, meaning I haven't had to mow ever since my last general update blog post, I believe. Unfortunately with all the heat and sunlight, it's baked my poor truck to…
KitKat sitting on her favorite news papers. Monday and Tuesday have been mildly busy days for me. Monday was a wedding shower for another friend of mine, which He'll be getting married this weekend. I feel like I've been writing about weddings every week now! I got him some picture frames as a gift. I figured they would need some picture frames and it wasn't something too large or expensive. Then…
Last Friday night I spent time learning how to make my own Churros! Since I was already making my own tortillas for tacos, I was inspired to make Churros for dessert too. I had a churro kit that had been sitting on the shelf for awhile now and figured this would be pretty simple. The kit came with a pastry bag and tube tip, and a mix. I followed the instructions exactly, which I noticed…
Wednesday morning was smooth sailing. I had breakfast and lunch already prepared and in the fridge, and my coffee pot programmed to startup in before I could get out of bed. I'm writing this in retrospect and can't recall most of the events that happened at work that day. I remember my boss being upset over something with some people and was ranting on a call with them. My co-worker is kind of…
Last Sunday I lost one of my notebooks that I used for taking quick notes at church. I've been searching all over my car, the house, and even called around to see if others may have found it. I guess it really is gone... So I suppose I'll have to go and buy another one. I'm not sure of what else to do in order to not lose these things. It's like I set em down somewhere and they just simply vanish!…
I missed writing a journal post for the last few days, but I'm not going to sweat over it. If I miss a day or two, oh well... Last Friday and Saturday I cleaned up the house, mowed the yard, gave up on digging up the remaining sandburs in the front yard (they got too out of hand and it was too hot out), washed laundry, and made more pizza. Oh yeah, I also went to a birthday party last Friday. The…
I'll probably start doing an image of the day soon Today I did some work on the CozyNet site to improve the pagination buttons for "Next post" and "Previous Post" to better handle single day multi-posts. I touched on this a little earlier this Monday, but didn't complete it. The issue that I was facing was organizing posts by date and time that fell on the same day. The naming convention wasn't…
I woke up pretty groggy this Monday morning. It's because of the terrible allergies and swimming out at the lake the day before. I changed my alarm to beep 30 minutes later to just lay there for a moment. After feeling a little more awake and less groggy, I got ready for the day and headed out to work. I didn't even greet the cats like usual, but I did pour out some water for the dog since it's…
This blog post is in relation to my previous post on "Guide to a modern and practical desktop with KDE Plasma 6 (X11 only)." I'm still using this desktop setup, but with a few additional improvements and tweaks to make it more pleasantly functional. I'd like to start off by saying that the floating panel feature of KDE Plasma is not so great. I've been toying around with it and have noticed that…
