My back has healed enough that I've restarted my daily exercise regimen. Per Dr. recommendations, I've added a few extra stretches to the mix. Also attempted some situps, but my spine was screaming at 7, so I stopped. Still need more healing.

Wow... Nearly 3 hours of REM sleep last night. No wonder I remember having so many weird dreams.

#CapnCrunch is an excellent treatment for the munchies.

Choice paralysis corrected by a hot shower & medication. I have chosen to simply relax & watch pro wrestling.

A small part of me still wants to finish final configurations of #Linux Mint so it's to my liking, part of me wants to play #Diablo2Resurrected, part wants to begin a new spreadsheet to collect data for a future project, & another part wants to research some things. But, tomorrow is another day.

Still need to shower & shave, but for the life of me I can't decide if I want to play a game after, watch TV, or just doomscroll on my phone. Decisions are hard.

Ran into a few roadblocks & unexpected problems, but I've finally got #Diablo2Resurrected running on Linux Mint. Wasn't quite as simple as the Lutris site would have you believe, but it's done. 😎

Ooh... Was that lightning? Squee! 🙃

Ah, so *that's* why #Lutris couldn't properly install battle.net launcher before. It would seem my Xbox One wireless adapter was taking over as my wireless internet device. It's not designed to handle that kind of load. Manually disconnecting the dongle & reselecting my proper wifi card allowed the install to complete. Downloading #Diablo2Resurrected as we speak.

Can't believe that was the problem this entire time. Guess I'll just use a USB cable with the controller to avoid this in the future.

There. Finally got my #Razer Kiyo Pro to work in #Linux Mint. For reasons I don't understand, absolutely no solutions I found online would work. Went into my Software Sources, refreshed the cache, & then it started working.

These are the things that make me feel dumb.

I'm the one who unplugged it. I remember now. It was making unpleasant noises, so I unplugged it, spent days researching which NAS would be an ideal replacement, ran out of money, forgot I wanted a NAS & forgot I unplugged the drive.

Though, after having dinner & coming back to the computer, everything seems to be working normally.

Manually running backups now before I make a critical mistake I can't resolve.

I think I b0rk3d my Mint installation & it would seem my timeshift drive got disconnected. Neato.

Sunset at the end of a warm day is one of my favorite times.

Luke is not terribly fond of this warmth, but he's managing to rest in anticipation of cooler overnight temps.

I love him. 🧡
