April came and went it seems, but I’ve been up to a lot! Notably, I’ve got a lot interesting TV I’m watching these days, and my trip to NYC was a blast!
Site News
In April I’ve published 6 notes, 11 blog posts, 0 devlogs, 4 scrolls, 1 captain’s log and shared 4 links on my site. That’s quite a few blog posts if you ask me.
Scroll 13 was late, but it got out none-the-less! The next edition should come at the normal time though. I really thought I’d be able to get it out while I was traveling, but as it turned out, I was just too tired at the end of the day to put the heart and energy required into writing it up. That said, I had all the content already so I was able to put it together rather quickly once I got back home. I really expected someone to message me wondering where the issue was, but no one did 😅. But, people seemed excited enough once it finally did drop! 🧡
The nerve of scam detector to give my site a 76.7 scam score 🤣

Life
What’s been goin’ on life-wise…
- ⚡️ My much-anticipated screened porch build has stalled out waiting for the electrician to do his thing
- 🌸 My cherry blossoms bloomed and then fell 😢. But, some other plants around the house have started to bloom which is nice. I’ve got a particularly nice Rhododendron that has started to pop this week
- 🤧 Loving the temperature this time of year…but it’s kinda ruined by the pollen and thus the SNEEZING!! 😤
- 🌆 The trip to NYC with the kids was a blast. I always forget how omni-present good food and coffee is there.
- ☕️ Still making cold brew. It’s delicious.
- 🍏 Speaking of drinks I’m into right now—I’m really in a hard cider phase.
- ☠️ ALSO, speaking of things that are ruining Spring, I’ve got quite the crop of poison ivy that has started to take over certain parts of my backyard. I really despise poison ivy.
- 🎶 Sleep Token is CRUSHING it with their new album releases. Absolutely love the first three songs they have dropped.
