Justin Farrimond<p>Morning All!</p><p>Eeee I'm tired <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Today</span></a> </p><p>Kept waking up throught the night in fear of my calf cramping again.<br>It didn't, but that didn't stop me worrying about it.<br>Made sure I got straight up though, no lying about. Want to be able to sleep tonight.</p><p>Got a load on the line, sun shining again, and the birds are in fine song.</p><p>What will the day have in store?</p><p>Hope you all have a good one.</p>
:neuro: Pixy's Journey :v_bi:<p>Well.... Ugh.. Bläh...<br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Today</span></a> started with a bad nightmare that didn't wake me feeling rested.<br>I went to the gym and rode the seated bike. But I could not use the massage chair. 😔<br>Arwen struggled a bit with the walkies... She's been also breathing more loudly, if that means anything, and I keep wondering if my time together with her is slowly coming to an end...<br>My hormones are out of whack today, and my body is sore, my head is aching...<br>I keep tearing up, because I fear losing Arwen, and I need her for the upcoming surgery. I need her to be there for me, and I know it's such a selfish thought. :parrot_sad:<br>I tried to rake part of the front garden. It's not perfect, but my back and elbow were definitely not amused by my work.<br>I'm more sensitive to light at the moment and I get cold chills at times.<br>It's just one of those days that isn't "my day".</p><p>While I lay on the couch in a slightly darkened room, I hear Arwen breathe/snore, and I wonder if there is something bothering her... If she's suffering, but doesn't want me to know? (and I sob while I write this).</p><p>My today is not very bad, just painful and filled with sad emotions...</p><p>I may lurk some more from now. Just don't want to drag anyone down with my sadness...</p><p>Catch you later folks! :bear_love:</p><p>Edit: missed some typos, stupid tears...</p>

cmdln<p>Good afternoon and TZAG, friends.</p><p>I have been engaged with my day <a href="https://thecommandline.social/tags/today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>today</span></a> and let my usual morning greeting slide. No cause for concern, actually got out into the sun for a run along the creek then some easy morning meetings before finally getting to focus.</p><p>I wrapped up the last of these npm package compatibility issues, which feels good, and can now pursue the final list of fit and finish work to wrap up the last few design questions for my SDK.</p>
𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑯𝒂𝒓𝒑𝒆𝒓<p>Hello everyone, hope you're having a good Tuesday. We're slow at work so I took 1/2 of my remaining 1 day of use it or lose it vacation. I'm taking the other half Friday. So I'm hanging with the girls of the Yellow Hive and going to vote with my wife soon. We're trying to remove our wanker of a mayor. He's shady and an asshole IMHO. On our return I'm putting 1 gallon of 1:1 simple syrup on the hive. We might visit a nursery too. </p><p>Have a pleasant afternoon!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>today</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/vote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vote</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/HarpHives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HarpHives</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/beekeeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>beekeeping</span></a></p>
James DeVol<p>Well...have started to think about spring and getting some flowers planted so I went out to the Menard's ad to look for seeds and they have veggie and flower seeds on sale for 10 cents a pack so I'm going to load up on them again this year...and I need a couple more Menards 5 gallon buckets to use for my scaled back container garden this year...last year was the worst year I ever had with my garden so this year I'm just doing a half dozen buckets with just tomatoes, peppers, and cukes...<br><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>today</span></a></p>

paris<p>UPDATE: as <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/today" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>today</span></a> is a slow day at job (not work), I have gleefully scoured the JSTOR&amp;Friends, and now have about 95% of my &quot;Need To Read&quot; list acquired, as well as a number of promising new-to-me essays! <br />Unfortunately, some things, like a few of the Rencontres Assyriologique Internationale don&#39;t appear to exist online, which sucks because they&#39;re chock-full of enticing titles; further misfortune informs us other intriguing texts have never been digitized.</p><p>Now to shove it all in Zotero 😭</p>
