My kid, Z, is a bit over two and a half (HOW?! ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ). She's put it together that singing happy birthday usually = cake. So yesterday after everyone was done singing HBD to me, she looks at Elizabeth and quietly says, "Where is my cake?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obamaโ€™s 2015 nuclear deal didnโ€™t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Oh cool it's TDOV and I'm still alive. That's fun. I'm accepting donations towards the ridiculous cost of moving up north ๐Ÿ˜‚ (mostly joking). Anyway my gender stuff is as always complicated, but I'm still here. That's all I can ask for at this point. I'm not giving up or disappearing.

I'm finally updating the OS on my ancient laptop so homebrew stops yelling at me about how old this laptop is. Hopefully this year I can get a new personal laptop. We'll see. For now at least I'll be running an OS that isn't geriatric.

Spending my NYE down with pink eye AND strep at the same time. I haven't had strep since I was a kid (and I likely got it from my kid...) and it SUCKS as an adult. Elizabeth keeps occasionally coming into my room and spraying Lysol in my general direction. ๐Ÿซ 

Saw a show on BBC home and garden when Z was all of four months old about making a holiday garland of your baby's onesies from when they were itty bitty. We templated some hearts, trees, mittens, and stars on a box of seltzer. And now that she's 27.5 months old, I finally got around to making it. ๐Ÿ˜‚

A holiday garland made of cut out shapes and felt, with red, green, and white pompoms, along with jingle bells.

Huge shout-out to the very kind folks at @edera.dev for sharing not only a phone charger, but offering me a spontaneous invite to their table for a slice of (amazing!) pizza as I randomly ducked into a pizza place to find somewhere to charge my phone. Your generosity is very much appreciated! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜
