Checked & covered pipes and faucets for the house. Checked the tires and fluids for the cars. Now I'm going through the fridge to see what will fit in the freezer to survive a potential power failure this weekend. I'd rather let it thaw there than have questionable food later.

Listened to a new podcast. Scottish accents are thicker than i realized. So it'll be interesting to see how long before this goes from friendly babling with some words to all words. Until i learn enough scottish.

For the love of books, please don't put clear sleeves on your books' dust jackets without wiping off the dust and the sticker residue 😩
Wipe the book gently with 70% rubbing alcohol if the cover is glossy, or dust thoroughly if it has a papery finish.
Otherwise you're basically begging for foxing.

While royalties might seem like great passive income, apparently you can make $400/year w/10k in high yield savings account (I know, who can afford for that much money to just...sit). But considering that's more than I make in royalties on my first 3 books now, the comparison is depressing.

The movie is more than 20 years old. Why not watch it through one more time for old times sake?

For all my fellow history loving nerds. Here's a video of a historian going through a play through of Assassin's Creed Syndicate and pointing out the historical accuracy and giving brief history about the landmarks in London. This channel has a series of this too 💜

It seems either the parent has a terrible evening and stays up all night. Or I stay up all night destressing from the terrible day i had with the parent. The two never overlap.

I don't know if this is of any use to anyone, but I wanted to share it because it's definitely helping me.
I've been following this "Zero Out Rule" for just over 2 months and have managed to passively put aside almost £300.
It's not a scam or anything, just a simple way to help save money.
