The Studio is very funny. AppleTV+. Seth Rogan knows what he’s doing. I heard once that drama is full of characters trying desperately to find the truth, and comedy is full of characters desperately trying to hide it. That tracks, for me. And I love the description because it’s such an active one. It’s all about what people are doing.
I feel better today, thank lawdy. Still super tired, but no longer out of it. Fever is gone, I think, and I was indeed able to sleep last night without any cough medicine. Huge!
Pups are great. Coops continues to be his normal self. Seems to be nice and strong again, and certainly full of energy.
The Warriors just got a gift, tonight, in the form of a Memphis loss at the hands of the Timberwolves. They now all have the same record with two games apiece left to play…and the Warriors hold the tiebreaker over both of them, which means now if we can win our last two games, we stay out of the play-in. Our destiny is back in our hands. And that’s good. We just have to win our last two games. Do that, and we’re in good shape. The two teams, now, in front of us could LOSE their last two games, and we could jump all the way up to the 4-seed…but none of that matters. Just win these last two. That’s the job. Do that, and we’re good no matter what anyone else does. We’ll be the 6-seed, at least. And if we’re the 6-seed, I like our chances. I really do.
We’re running out of data storage here at the Ho Heinichen House of Horrors and Hoisery. My archive drive is almost full already (I swear I just bought the damn thing like two years ago—it was obviously not big enough), our iCloud is almost full, and I’ve had two work drives fail on me so far this year. It’s a necessity…at some point. Not right now. At the moment, I have other drives I can use, we can reclaim some of that iCloud space, or even just move Liz back to her own iCloud plan for $10 a month…none of this is an actual crisis at the moment. But I’ve become fixated on it. I know what I want to fix the problem long-term…like at least the next 5 years, probably even more like the next ten. But it’s an expensive solution, and money is so short right now. And then there’s these tariffs with China, and I noticed the hard drives I wanted to get to solve this problem popped up as “out of stock” on a couple retail sites, and I just impulsively pulled the trigger today on ordering the whole setup.
I feel very, very conflicted about that. It is NOT a crisis at the moment. I do have workaround for all of these issues that could last us another year or so, at least. And I worry that I used this tariff stuff as an excuse to just get something I wanted but I don’t actually need. Sigh. I’m going to sit with it. I need to go and sort out the finances, too, see what the state of things really is. Yeah. That’s what makes me so twisted up and nervous about this: the finances. Sorting those will either make me feel like we’re okay, we can actually float this right now and our future cash flow is fine, OR it’ll show me it’s a foolhardy purchase and it’s just something that will have to wait. As much as I want it, and I really do. We’ll see.
Welcome to my brain. It’s hectic up here.
Night night.
