State of Me

There's a hurricane in the Gulf but it looks like it will miss us; as of now we don't have any rain scheduled. I'll have to water plants while a hurricane is going on, which always feels weird.

I was feeling kind of terrible at the end of last week and through the weekend, but hopefully it was just allergies. It seems to be mostly gone now :knock on wood:

Last night our friends who are moving to the Netherlands gave us their stand mixer, so that was an awesome unexpected gift. It was originally a wedding present to their daughter and her wife, (who are our goddaughter and goddaughter-in-law), but in the wedding gift frenzy they ended up with two. They've been using it to make pasta, which we may try to do, and my husband likes to bake, so it's pretty cool to have it. Plus it's blue which goes with the changes we made to our kitchen last year.

The new cat Max (the abandoned cat we found in our backyard) is still a sweet baby with all humans and a demonic monster with our other cats. So we're still working on that.

I did a revision of Network Effect, and it's scheduled for May 2020.
