Listening to nothing, just the gentle hum of the computer and the creaky house

Reading/learning:
* The Rise and Reign of the Mammals on audiobook though I don’t like the narrator’s voice so I might abandon it, which is unfortunate because it’s really interesting. It sounds like he’s shouting.
* Automate the Boring Stuff with Python online. I started reading this because ChatGPT recommended it as an intro to python and programming so I can learn how to use genAI to help with things
* How to be Multiple on ebook, learning all kinds of interesting and fucked up stuff about how the world thinks of twins

Loving lately:
* Once again I’m feeling the creative motivation return – I guess I feel like I got into a little slump for a bit after the new year started (after my vacation ended and I had to go back to work)
* My perfect cat
* I’m loving more aspects of my job again, which is very exciting – that is good news for the burnout I experienced, I think it’s going away. We’ve made a lot of improvements internally & now we’re working on improving everything else.
