I have made a Mastadon account on https://t.co/RHDKPf2Dkz

Same handle as here. I mean realistically I'm always this handle so if you run across it somewhere there is an excellent chance it is me.

After being in the 90s (and humid) for the last week or so, this morning I have a sweatshirt on 'cuz it's in the 60s. It's quite nice!

[Laura @Sunidesus]

Heh, just discovered that I say "green monster" with a very slight Boston accent.

It just doesn't sound right in a "neutral" accent!

[Laura @Sunidesus]

Just realized that I have added another bird I can confidently recognize by song thanks to the @MerlinBirdID sound id function. Yay!

[Laura @Sunidesus]

So this goofy little floof just landed ON MY HAMMOCK while I was sitting in it. It's a juvenile and clearly doesn't know it should be afraid of me. Absolutely amazing.

[Laura @Sunidesus]

Whew! That show was the fun kind of chaos.

(wouldn't want to do it every day, but once in a while it's kinda fun)

Working nightside again so have to deal with sports...

I would like to have words with whoever approved these graphics. Nearly identical colors for the two teams is a choice.

[Laura @Sunidesus]

For the most part nights are SO MUCH better than mornings.

However.

For some reason the sports people don't put in any of their own graphics. So I'm sitting here googling the tiny bit of info in the story slugs to figure out which graphics to use.

It's very odd.

New schedule means the sun is in a not great place when I have time to be outside.

Therefore an umbrella has been acquired.

[Laura @Sunidesus]

@Synergy3k Yep. Current car would have been electric if I had a way to plug it in. I was hoping car #3 could be electric, but that is starting to look unlikely (even though car#3 is still a number of years away)

[Laura @Sunidesus]

I am beyond thrilled to finally be back on a normal (for me) schedule...

But I am realizing that it makes it a lot harder to get food from a couple of my favorite restaurants, cuz they close before I get off work.

Healthier for me in the long run, but I am craving a Cachapa!

@NovicSara Schrodinger's paperwork.

I wish you luck figuring that mess out!

[Laura @Sunidesus]

@websyarn I was going to say mostly by weight but then I started thinking about it and it's not. Acrylic & cotton have their own bins, cones are a bin, sock yarn has two bins (the good stuff & everything else), laceweight & worsted are another two...

It makes sense to me?

[Laura @Sunidesus]

Annuals have been acquired.

[Laura @Sunidesus]

@NovicSara Honestly, as a barely 5ft tall adult I'd appreciate cutouts/windows at overlooks. Those things are nearly always very difficult for me to enjoy.

[Laura @Sunidesus]

Quick and dirty because I'm on the wrong computer for photo editing, but I got photos off my real camera and here she is! #hummingbird #birdwatching

[Laura @Sunidesus]

Dude, everyone else can hear me on headset just fine. The mic is literally an inch from my mouth. You not being able to hear me is a you problem, not a me problem.

[Laura @Sunidesus]

Apparently no one in the newsroom has heard of the SCA, there's a little group trying to decide how to say "anachronism". I am amused.

[Laura @Sunidesus]

Well I absolutely must bring my real camera with me next time I sit outside 'cuz I just found a hummingbird making her nest!

There is no way I'm getting close enough with my phone to take pictures. I do not want to risk disturbing her. But I can with monster lens!

[Laura @Sunidesus]

As long as I'm posting not great bird photos... Here's my very first Orchard Oriole (immature male) from a couple days ago.
