A question about @nextcloud --
Is there any way to copy a list in the Tasks application?
I want to adapt my 6-days packing list (for Big Flats) for our 2-night trip to Asheville tomorrow, but I don't want to get rid of the Big Flats version cuz I expect we'll need it again.

Seamus says goodbye the morning the #hypertwins leave to return to Durham (aka yesterday morning)

Currently reconstructing our in-house @nextcloud instance after yet another Seagate drive abruptly died.
It was already a stressful day *before* that happened; #thanksUniverse.
(Why aren't there instructions for how to rebuild when you have the data and the files, but not NextCloud's file structure. None of the obvious stuff seems to work; it looks like I have to start over with an empty fileset and then synch all 600+ GB via the client. :-/)

CW: eye contact, plutonomy
We actually have a minivan now, omfg. No more wondering when the camshaft in the 1995 Subaru is going to explode.
Meet Daisy, the 2010 Odyssey.
The pod bay doors won't open on command.
No, I'm serious. The remote locks and unlocks just fine, but it won't open the automatic doors. DAMMIT HAL I'M GOING TO GO STRAIGHT TO YOUR MAIN DATA BANKS WITH A VERY LARGE AXE AND GIVE YOU A REPROGRAMMING YOU'LL NEVER FORGET, IS THAT CLEAR??

We art hoam for the everning.
Photo: not quite midway through the trip, before lunch. (It's ok, I was able to extinguish my hair.)

Went to grocery store, got a bunch of stuff and two large bottles of kitty litter. Everything else fit in the bag I brought, but was carrying the kitty litter.
Got distracted by all the complicated steps (some social, some machine) involved in checking out, and left the kitty litter there.
Pretty sure this is not the first time this has happened, either.

"When are you gonna stop taking photos of me and get back to the skritches? Priorities, *please*."

~~ Julie snuggles my laptop ~~
Julie is very snuggly. She has slept with us both nights so far, and is basically just a large cuddle-toy that finds warmth and occupies it.

Hi, I'm Woozle, and I work for the Soft Toys Division here at the East Coast branch of TootCat Cybernetics Corporation. I hope you're enjoying our wide assortment of Soft Toot Cats!

It seems very likely we need a CV joint replaced in order to get back home. This may take time and cost money.
Fortunately, both of our appointments next week are easily cancellable, so we can stay here longer if needed -- and we're staying at a friend's place, so no significant extra expense will be involved.

Arrived safely back home, and the power came back on about 20 minutes ago.
Tiredness is a thing.

We have arrived at the Asiana where there is vital Pokémon activity taking place. We might also eat while we're here, possibly. I hear they have food.

...and Duke Energy is back to "assessing the damage", no ETA.
(...after promising us late Monday and then bumping it up to late last night.)

Absolutely nothing exciting weather-wise here at Hypertwin Manor. The power *still* hasn't even blipped (it will probably wait until some random moment on a perfectly nice day).
...and just as I type that, a UPS beeps briefly, but the lights don't change or anything. Go figure.
The storm does seem to have pretty much moved on, though.

Florence has hit Wilmington, but nothing exciting here yet. This afternoon was predicted to be the peak.

I'm seriously considering hosting a 23yo transgirl here at Hypertwin Manor. She went to visit a friend in Texas, and now her verbally-abusive mom is saying she can't go home.
She hasn't actually bought a return ticket yet; she could fly into RDU in ~2 weeks and I could pick her up. That part is easy
Thing is, this is bound to be a huge anxiety issue for @Harena, plus we won't really have a room for her until late August.
(ok to boost)

We've safely returned from our trip. Still catching up with All The Things. More later.

Just to complicate matters, our power is going to be off for about 4 hours today while we have an electrical panel replaced. We'll be out doing errands for part of that, and then I'll have to figure out which cards to use to pay for it (I don't have the full estimated amount in any one place).
For anyone who loves randomness and chaos in their life, this would be awesome. :D
(P.S. Can't say I'm particularly fond of it, tho.)
