       (Happy Birthday to Me)
       October 06, 2020
       
       Today was a mess, but it was a freeform mess. I took the day off to
       'celebrate', officially, but really I just needed it for my mental health.
       My present to myself for my birthday, a mental health day.
       
       As well as it being my birthday, it was my trash day. I drove my garbage
       to my cans, and I was too late, so this garbage will have to ripen for
       another week till its taken away. I tried to rally from the dissapointment
       and go to town to get a few things from the hardware store to work on my
       new office. At the checkout I learned I had forgotten my wallet.
       
       I then returned thoroughly defeated and locked myself in my old office and
       tinkered with raspberry & orange pis, safe from the world. And I had some
       minor success in my project, setting up a web interface with them to
       switch this industrial usb-c switch I'm going to use as a kvm. This is why
       I hack, sometimes it's the only win I can get.
