Bedroom walls painted yesterday! Looks fantastic (I was at work so didn't help at all 🙃). 3 coats! Very bold red #HotTamale I really love it but we'll need the right curtains to cut the color. Next the hallway walls and all the trim, then we'll start laying the hardwood.

Thankful that my #TiVo still works to "watch" the #SuperBowl. We got our first TiVo in 1999...! and have owned one ever since. I cannot count the number of hours of mind-numbing commercials we have avoided. Maybe it's not cutting edge anymore but it's still so, so useful.

Update on upstairs remodel: bedroom and hallway de-carpeted, underfloor screwed down, ridges sanded off, everything washed down, paint and hardwood flooring purchased. Today: shovel out from snowstorm, then start painting! Oh and of course, walk the dog. Can't forget that.

Was I complaining about 25F weather recently? Today's morning temp was 0F... 🥶!! Fortunately the roads are fully iced and not thawing: I don't have to feel guilty for not riding my #bicycle to work 😬

About to get on my #bicycle to #commute home: 25F with a windchill of 11F. Sigh. Is exercise still good for you when it results in frostbite? Plus, I left my big new light (Christmas present) at home so I still only have my older light. It works, of course, but... phooey.

Went to see #ACompleteUnknown this past weekend. Even though I'm too young to have been around during this time, because of my parents #BobDylan was an integral part of my childhood especially his earlier stuff. Thought the movie was great although I recognize some liberties are taken!

Finished re-reading #TheCountOfMonteCristo this weekend. This time I listened on Audible (53 hours!!) It was still great, but I was amused by the narrator using "thanks!" as the translation for merci: of course it's appropriate for 1840's English, too, but it still sounds so modern!

Today we'll plan a cute little one-week sprint to realign the calendar after the holidays wrecked our normal processes. I hope to find something quick and fun to kick off the New Year and jump-start the little grey cells after weeks of egg nog and holidaying.

I spent the last week on and off, rewriting the GNU Make recipe command parser to be clean and understandable. It now passes the 4000+ test regression suite on my GNU/Linux system, so that's gratifying!
