Good morning. It is 2026-06-16, and it’s a Tuesday.

Today is a bit of A Day. Gus has been left behind at a friend’s house while we are having our house inspection. J and I both cried. He’s such a good little guy, and we do not like to traumatize him.

I am at the reed college library doing some basic computing. Wanted to see if everything would work here, and they do. I am redoing my entire back up strategy, because I’m trying to keep things cheap.

Backups:

  • Physical backups using time machine.
  • Backup to Google Drive once a week.
  • Removing Backblaze from my computer.
    • Subscription that costs too much.
    • Do I really need that level of backup when Google Drive is ubiquitous and works?
      • Not ideal. I don’t like the idea of my poems being used to train AI. But we are well passed that, aren’t we?

Also updates on friends:

  • A is home after her bottom surgery. Will be supporting her Friday night.
  • Everyone else seems to be recovering well.

Also added todoist to my computer so that when I get back to work, I can use it.

So overall, doing the small things that will make things Easier around here.
