Very first time making macarons. Uhhh… nailed it? (No, the answer is no. 😂 ) Still tasty, though.
Closeup of three yellow macarons with yellow frosting on a lavender-colored plastic plate. The macarons have a vague suggestion of being round, with a bubbly, not-smooth-at-all, non-shiny texture. These were the best of the batch. The broken, misshapen rest of the macaron batch, yellow cookies with yellow buttercreme frosting. The cookie parts are all blobbed and broken in different ways. None of the sides match. If poorly-made cookies were a war crime, I’d be getting dragged to the Hague. If Gordon Ramsay saw these, he’d be holding two slices of bread to my ears and calling me an idiot sandwich. Okay, maybe not. GR would recognize this was my very first time making these and I have no training. Still tasty vanilla, though.

Sweet, the plaque for last’s years platelet donors is up at my donor center! For me, that was about 60 hours of time well spent!
#ARC #Platelets
A shiny black plaque with a wooden border and brass-gold lettering. The plaque reads, “American Red Cross - Platelet Donors with 18 or More Donations in 2024”. Underneath the heading is three columns of names, redacted for privacy.

As I get older (or maybe because I get more sleep), my caffeine tolerance and falloff curve has changed. I can’t do that second energy drink in the morning anymore. I stay too wired at night.
Looping gif of Beavis from “Beavis and Butthead” shaking back and forth after getting overstimulated on caffeine while at his fast food job. He is sputtering soda all around while trying to refill the soda cup.

Our avocado tree is starting to come in nicely again this year! Gonna need to trim away the branches from the house, though.

Can’t find a place nearby with #snowcone syrup (at least, in normal household quantities). So, fine, gonna make some simple syrup and mix in some Kool-Aid powder.
Three individual serving-size packets of Kool-Aid powder in the foreground, held in hand. The flavors are Tropical Punch (blue), Cherry (red), and Grape (purple). In the background behind them, a small pot on a stove containing a boiling, whitish fluid. This is equal parts sugar and water mixing until dissolved to make the simple sugar.

Same energy.
A still image from the movie, “Jurrasic Park”, showing the character Ian Malcolm, played by Jeff Goldblum, reclining on a padded bench. His shirt is torn open, exposing his bare chest after recovering from a dinosaur attack.

New tumbler!
A large, metal drink tumbler held aloft in one hand by the black handle. The body of the tumbler is medium-grey and emblazoned with the words “American Red Cross Platelet Donor” with the logo, a red “+” cross in a white circle.

I need to get more of my stickers reprinted!
Six stickers arranged on top of a keyboard, featuring hacker and video hame themes. Captions for each include: “I ❤️ RFC 1918” in the style of a I heart NY shirt, “Netscape and Chill” with the Netscape logo but the font is like the Netflix logo, “Phreak the Dead” in the shape of a planchette, “Honk Tuah” with the Untitled Goose Game goose, “Black Badge Raffle” in the shape of a raffle ticket, and “You Cray Cray” with outlines of a pointing hand and the CRAY-1 supercomputer.
