Brushing Off Invisible Spiders

There's something truly disgusting about businesses sending you birthday messages with some marketing "deal". This is my celebration. How dare you try to manipulate me today.

I've suddenly got a lot of people asking me to do things and I am very much out of the habit. It's not hard to say 'No' but most of these things are things I'm not averse to. My calendar is rapidly filling up and I'm getting a real sense of anxiety.

I think I don't like committing to stuff, and I used to commit to stuff all the time. The hardest thing is that the thing I hate more than committing to stuff is cancelling commitments. Perhaps I wouldn't be so anxious if I knew I could happily cancel without letting myself down.

I'm much less impressed by the NASA 'copter than maybe I should be.

It feels like when Apple provided widgets and people thought it would be super useful but it turned out only to be valuable in very specific situations.

My favourite childhood teacher, One of my favourite people ever, My first defining influence in my life, is in a home with dementia.

I've got so much work to do an all I want to do is sit quietly and digest the news.

I'm using Tailwind and I've extended my spacing to use a decimal point.

'0.5': '2px',

And I'm applying it in the less file.

@apply mt-0.5;

And it's failing saying "The 0.5 class does not exist."

I finally realised it's a LessCss problem. Change the @apply value to ~"mt-0.5" and it all works again.

We have a wasp that quietly drifts into the house. Sometimes it wants to make nests and we have to gently dissuade it by crushing the tiny bulbous form and its incumbent 8 legged slave.

It never attacks us. It's just our friendly house wasp. We cheer when we see it now.

On a whim we switched out the mince in our tacos last night for black beans and pinto beans and the result has me swearing off beef tacos forever. This was such a better meal. YUM!

I drove past a traffic accident today. I couldn't really work out what had happened. What I do know is that there was a lot of blood and a human that wasn't going to be getting up again lying on the motorway.

What I can't understand is how they came to be there when there was nowhere for a human to come from other than a speeding motor vehicle.

It was upsetting. I'm drinking wine and I don't usually do that anymore.
