Ora et Labora

I bought a lovely wood wrist rest so I can, after years of owning it, finally use my mechanical keyboard with some comfort. The problem remains that my desk at the office really doesn’t have the space for both a keyboard and monitor and have it be comfortable.

Today: It’s Ash Wednesday. I’m not getting ashes but there’s still something soothing in the idea of “For dust you are and to dust you shall return.” More on that idea

Status: I’m not one to care too much about the lawn but ours has some barren patches and some big divots that present problems when mowing. As we move back into the Spring and Summer seasons, I’ve been looking into simple ways to improve the lawn while not going full-on make it look like a golf course and spend the equivalent of a part-time job on it each week mode. Epsom salt seems like a benefit and cheap, while Native American Seed would be an effective way to not destroy the environment with pointless seeds that need too much water.

Reading: Honestly, nothing.

Listening: Had to break out a paid of wired airpods today because the wireless headphones were acting up. And kind of feel like I should just go back to the wired all the time. There’s no connection issues and they store easier.

Last Watched: Half way through season six of Game of Thrones and there really are times where I wonder how people tolerated this show’s just abysmal sex and gender ideas. I’m going to finish it because I do have a long term goal of getting through all the HBO prestige shows I never watched.
