koshka_the_catI was optimistic, but wow! California hasn't closed yet, but I'm excited for it. What a relief. I mean, even having elections feels so big!

Or not
Nov. 3rd, 2025 06:10 pmkoshka_the_catI napped after work. Mondays are Mondays no matter when they start!
And the heat was blasting. 81 in my room. It wax in the 80s out. There's a work order in. Sigh.

*fingers crossed*
Nov. 2nd, 2025 06:38 pmkoshka_the_catGetting up early is awful, but it's less awful when it's not dark, so hopefully I'll be a little less tired tomorrow?
Whew
Oct. 30th, 2025 08:33 pmkoshka_the_catThree day weekend
It was fun wearing my dress to work
We don't need the heat at work. It's still in the 80s and it never needs to be 79 inside.

This weekend
Oct. 29th, 2025 08:53 pmkoshka_the_catMy goal is to do something. Even knit one row! I need to do stuff! Because I like it and forget that I do.
Work Halloween
Oct. 28th, 2025 08:18 pmkoshka_the_catI've decided to wear the 20s cat dress to Halloween at work on Thursday. Then a three day weekend.
*yawn*
Oct. 27th, 2025 07:09 pmkoshka_the_catNapping hobby achieved. This was the first real, fall asleep nap I've had in ages. Lately I've just been dozing...
So...
Oct. 25th, 2025 08:45 pmkoshka_the_catI think I figured out why my backwards brain thought far was near and near was far. Far was on the top of the menu and near at the bottom. So it looked like far was nearer the car in front and words meant nothing apparently...
Whew!
Oct. 24th, 2025 08:46 pmkoshka_the_catThe Saturday puzzle was the hardest in a long time, but I did it without any lookups. I did check some weird sounding answers, but I didn't look any trivia up. Whew!
Oops
Oct. 23rd, 2025 04:10 pmkoshka_the_catI looked at the settings (why do cars have settings?) on my car and I had changed the collision warning system to far. This is why it was yelling at me so much.
When I did it, I thought it was what I wanted. My brain does this reverse-y thing sometimes. I still remember staring at flipped shapes during an elementary school IQ test and thinking this is not the part of my IQ that's high. So I thought somehow that far meant near. I remember trying to puzzle it out in my head when I set it. Now I can't even think of what my brain process was when I did it, but it should yell at me as much anymore!

Nothing really
Oct. 22nd, 2025 08:41 pmkoshka_the_catMy new car is sixth months old and still doesn't feel like mine. Its first service helped and it feels a little more mine. It seems such a petty complaint because *gestures vaguely* but it's just weird.
I find it amusing that I think stick is easier because muscle memory is real. The number of times I've tried to leave work and was convinced the car was broken because it wouldn't go is comical. I park on the street at work. In my old car, I'd park in first. I'm still not used to having to move from park to drive, so I push the gas pedal and nothing.
Half the time it's a jerky start because it's easier to ease one pedal up and the other down than to push one smoothly down. Anyone watching probably thinks I have a manual and am bad at it. Fortunately that doesn't happen at lights.
It can stop yelling about obstacles any day now. Today the collision warning beep came in when I had my foot on the brake and was going 12 miles an hour stopping behind another car at a stop sign. I was about two car lengths behind it. So far, my foot has been in the brake every time it's gone off. At least I'm used to it now. The first time it happened I jumped and my foot came off the brake so I ended up stopping way closer to the car in front of me than I liked.
It's a nice enough car, but I honestly miss roll up windows. I'm weird...
