Exhaustion is funny. You pare back to the basics, and find just what the basics are to you. Gotta eat, gotta feed the indoor & outdoor cats, gotta do the dishes, gotta do the offerings. Gotta try to install a secure E2EE chat server? Wut? Gotta play A/V specialist? Ok, maybe signs of life return.

Hi Y'all. I have been 'away'. Work went hard for several weeks. A project is over, culminated in an all-nighter this weekend to get it done. I'm on vacation this week to rest, and all I WANT to do is sleep. I'll try to be more active here, but if I am not, know that I will eventually have energy. /1

Good news, no late night major work stuff this weekend. Bad news, still have to do it all next weekend, with panicking developers coming to me all week trying to catch up on the testing they were supposed to finish last week. Good news, we get to hang out for our whole anniversary weekend!

Bugghoti @bugghoti.bsky.social · 26/09/2025

As expected, so far, these week has been a long month, and culminates in a very busy, late nights weekend. Hopefully I get a break from the work stress a bit after that. I've been reading when i can and such. This weekend also brings my & @winterlady1.bsky.social's 23rd Wedding anniversary! Woo!

Bugghoti @bugghoti.bsky.social · 22/09/2025

This week is going to be a long month at work. I'm playing catch-up here when I can. I am very much looking forward to the end of the major project I'm on. I am le tired.

Haven't done a Happy Card of The Day pull for myself in a while. We have a meeting with my great-grand-boss today, and The King of Swords may refer to how he is going to be, but also could very much refer to my plan to do some pretty honest tell-it-like-it-is when things come to me. It is needed.

So the idea is to post 5 things that make you happy. I love that I can't really limit it to 5. But also there are things that are too personal, too. 1. @winterlady1.bsky.social 2. My friends 3. Small furry creatures. 4. Making & listening to Music. 5. The trees

The crows were riled up this morning. When I went out to look, a bluejay had joined the chorus. It was clear that they were not happy that 4 of the feral clowder had gathered in one spot too close to the big oak. Once they dispersed, the head crow took off to another tree and things got quiet.

You wouldn't know this by listening to music I make or most of my record collection. Every time I see someone take the Colbert Questionnaire and they get to "If you could only listen to one song the rest of your life...", I always think my answer would be this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6s4...

It's been a rough week in my head and body, and I feared i would not be in the mood to play Open The Mail. But then, we watched John Batiste getting to rave about music I hadn't really listened to in years, and we put on some Duke Ellington and some Thelonious Monk, and I was ok. #MusicIsMagic

@brujowolf25.bsky.social We got to open it! What a haul! Great packing job, and thank you for the surprises as well! I made the mistake of trying to smell too many things in one sitting, and now I don't know where I am, but that's ok. Congratulations on a great launch.

Hey guys I am having a busy week and physical exhaustion, so I am very spotty here. Trying to read and comment here and there. May be the weekend before I have my vim and vigor back tho.

Incidentally that free reading came from commenting on one of these posts. Definitely the Dream oil on my list. Here come the launch!

Just had a very nice tarot reading with @prosperitywitch.bsky.social thanks to @brujowolf25.bsky.social. And now he gets to talk to @winterlady1.bsky.social That's a lot of this family vibe for one person in such a short amount of time. I'm sorry 😂

So today, the guys are here to cut down one of the oaks in our yard. It got the wilt that was spreading across the park, and is unfortunately, in the last throes. We are hoping the wilt spares the other nearby oaks. White oaks often survive it. But red oaks cannot.

My "happy card" pull for the day is The Emporor. Today's plans have potential for chaos, and I will be able to guide those moments into order. I just need to remember not to do so tyrannically. #tarot #TarotSky

At the end of June, I set up a voice-command to add an entry to a notes app whenever I have an ocular migraine. I also made one for every time I see a deer. So far, the deer are winning, 29 to 13, and most of the deer ones are multiples. Don't ignore your troubles, but count your blessings too.

I love composition notebooks. I love fountain pens. Unfortunately I don't keep notebooks organized, and notes disappear amidst doodles. Unless of course, I take a picture or transfer the notes to txt files, etc. Then I'm organized. So, my woo-woo notes are now in Obsidian. I'm tracking something.

August was a long year. I'm catching up, y'all. Also I have thoughts. I'll probably post more. But then again, never tell 'em everything. 😂

Just another reminder that if something is infinite, it is impossible toi be separate from it. This time, I'm reminding me, who hasn't been feeling it so much of late.

Late night work and early morning on call alerts kicked my ass. But I get to sit by my stoop and look at the trees. And then have a visitor show up and almost decide to approach.

Ok, I decided I'm going to start catching up. Y'all talk a lot in 4 days or so. I say that with love. And snark. But snark is one of my love languages, I swear.

I've been absent. I've ended up extending my hermit-mode after getting sick because a bunch of other stuff happened around here too and I kinda crashed. Letting my mental and spirit health recover as well as my body. Not ignoring y'all, just not present. I'll be back.

Bugghoti @bugghoti.bsky.social · 12/08/2025

I envy my wife, for throwing off being sick so fast. I don't envy how hard she gets knocked down to heal fast. I do the slow burn. I'm in day 2. Called in. Lower fever than she got, but raging head and tummy issues, ears ringing away. Bleh. I'll probably delete this later.

Shhhhh I heard a rumor about @sapphire90.bsky.social having a birthday or some such. May your day be full of things you want it to be full of, and better! 🥳🎂🎈

They're heeeeeere! One is a early birthday present to myself (so I don't steal the copy meant for @winterlady1.bsky.social anymore, so I guess it's a gift for her too) The other is to give to a friend. The best birthday present is being in a position to give. @taionthegnome.bsky.social

So excited. This is the first kickstarter I ever backed, and the decks have arrived to the artist and are shipping starting next week. It is all painted with watercolors made with earth pigments from foraged rock, minerals, etc. Can't wait to try them.

The Earthbound Tarot by Celine Gordon. picture shows ythe Box, card backs, The Magician, Seven of Cups, and Knight of Coins cards, as well as a sample rock used in making the pigments.

Always fun when I pull a "happy card of the day" and have to figure out a reversal. 8 of cups Rx. I've been expanding my practice and struggling with where things fit. This reminds me I don't need to abandon anything to make this work. #tarot #tarotsky

Kind of an early birthday present. @winterlady1.bsky.social tricked me into talking about buying this again, so that we would. It's a very nice altar work table with a tree of life and Celtic-style knot-work design. The tree/roots are reversible for the season or intended energy. Pip approves.

After about a weeks worth of air quality alerts just from the wildflire smoke drifting over, I'm starting to feel it in my breathing. Other than that, it is a gorgeous day out there. Feral fed, store run accomplished, naps in my future.
