Unsupervised Design

  • They do make using a computer challenging, but I won’t trade the snuggles for anything.

  • Today, the 306th day of March 2020, we celebrate the end of this tire fire of a year.
    A fire swing on fire

  • I definitely did not have “updating the firmware for my air fryer” on my 2020 list.

  • This morning I uttered their favourite line
    “Who wants to go to the store?”
    And both dogs sprinted over in the hopes of getting a treat.
    (Hugo ended up standing on his hind legs and toppling a basket of treats from a shelf 🤦🏻‍♂️)

  • Even as an adult Christmas Eve makes me excited and it is super difficult to fall asleep

  • Started my holiday vacation by waking up this morning to find these two snuggling each other

  • Did my first Fitness+ rowing workout tonight. I loved the combo of technique coaching, physical motivation, and a touch of general life motivation.
    It’s early but this feels like it may be a fixture for me.

  • Change of pace tonight and I’m getting couch cuddles from the cat.

  • And lastly, my low key favourite Christmas ornament of all time that has been with me since I was a child.
    Ghost! 👻

  • It is also important that my tree has a Zamboni on it.

  • Some Star Wars ornaments that are hidden on my Christmas tree

  • Tonight we trimmed the tree so it feels like Christmas finally.

  • I came across this tweet about the late 90s/early 00s design aesthetic and it resonated deeply with me and reminded me that I imported this PS4 controller because I loved it so much.

    Technology peaked at this aesthetic.

  • Luna and Hugo teamed up to pass serious judgement on poor Downward Dog form.

  • The sun painted a pretty scene on the clouds before it disappeared

  • I have found that I need the “on this day” reminders from Photos and my blog to reinforce what time of year it is in 2020. Part of me definitely still thinks it is March.

  • Last night my wife made us roast beef for dinner. Not content for the pedestrian pairing of mashed potatoes as a side she instead prepared cauliflower bites fried in a buffalo sauce.

  • I regularly catch myself subtly smiling to people when I walk by them and then realize that it is hidden by my mask.
    I need to adopt some more elaborate mannerisms!

  • This afternoon’s dilemma, to watch the provincial Covid update and feel bad now or to learn the details later and feel bad then.

  • This entire year has been a strange adjustment to work and life. Today I was reflecting on whether my cat will ever adjust to having a second dog in the house.
