Currently got all-day sunsetty warm lighting, endlessly-looped tropical bass music, and bottomless premium coconut milk on-tap.
Indoor climbing gives a big, wide-open, brightly lit area that scratches my itch for being outdoors.
Hot yoga burns out any chill I have.
Trying my darndest to keep a very consistent sleep schedule. January is my toughest month usually, and my friends know when I say my bedtime is 10pm I mean it. New Years, parties, travel, whatever be damned.
Edit: oh, new this year is a weighted blanket. That’s the “cozy” bit compared to the above. I like the weight without having to add 5 quilts that are just going to make me sweat.
I am escaping into the Caves of Qud after tucking my kids in. Dunno if its sunny, more salty, but its fun.
Got a new soldering iron so I guess that’ll do along with some warm lighting as you said
Watcha soldering? Anything fun?
Haha thanks for asking, it’s about half-fun half-stressed-out, I’m making a 40A 10 channel CCT LED controller on a perfboard with a bunch of temperature sensors, presence sensors, fan controllers and other stuff. The first one sucked ass because of EMI from high frequency switching on the FETs so hopefully I’ll figure something out this time… Thinking about doing a split design, with everything power related completely distanced from all the low power stuff as I’m not super knowledgeable.
Sounds cool!! Good luck with the project! EMI is one of those things I’d never even consider until i got way into a project like that, then have to reverse course and try a new approach with that in consideration. Gotta learn somehow though, lol!
I started painting models recently so that’s been keeping me busy.
Consume a shit ton of cannabis. Yeah.
Santacon.info - gotta be in Jolly good shape for SantaCon!!
Just optimizing daylight while I can. Hiking on my lunch break, and going outside often.
I’m not. As soon as it is seasonally appropriate to do so I’ll be blasting “The Man in the Santa Suit” on repeat.
So, tomorrow presumably?
First Sunday of Advent, no sooner
Ah okay. In Canada the day after remembrance day is usually the “respectful” start of the season.
Respectfully, that’s too early. More than six weeks of Christmas season is just too much.
Whats it made of?
It’s made of glögg.
Roger that
Good friends, good music, good vibes, and good weed.
During the Winter months, I mostly just wear the same pajamas I do during the Summer. I tolerate the cold way better than I tolerate anything at 20°C and above. It’s also a great time of the year for soups, stews, and hot chocolate! ☕
All I need is my warm clothing and a place to be snug.
Zonal heating and exchanging mêmes with my partner
My wife has a stack of 9 mostly finished quilts that just need bindings and thread burying, all set to get finished and given out between now and the end of the year.
As of yesterday the stack is down to 8 because the lap quilt destined for my workstation is currently getting its binding.
Blankets, wool socks that go all the way to my knees, and a cute dog friend.
I have been working on my sleep pattern, last week i plaid Stalker Anomaly which had me going bed late and waking up late. Also cutting caffeine after 4pm so super tired evenings and its a struggle to not nap. I am however enjoying the cold with my window open.
