Random Experiment Gone Right

08 Feb 2026

Laying around, my partner finally got fed up with the inconsistent light temperatures I have around. I had probably different warmth levels and wattages in some fixtures. The kitchen ight is much better now. Somewhere in the lightbuld stash they found a set of red lights. We both like red lights at night just for the ease on the eyes. Little did we know it would have a different effect in the bedroom. Turns out, they are rally good for sleeping. Like best sleep either of us have had in a long time. These were just cheap party lights from a big box store I got to use for a Halloween event. We ended up getting better quality red lights for sleeping. I wish I had come across this sooner. I highly recommend if you struggle with sleep.


Weasel ADHD

11 Jan 2026

I have been learning a lot over the past few weeks trying to make a fun little space for myself. At the same time, it can be very ADHD inducing. Having worked with many weasels, they like to check out all the things they can get into. Poke their nose in every hole they can find to investigate. This is me learning about HTLM and CSS right now. I haven't touched any of this since the days of MySpace. But getting out of the sterile and somewhat hostile social media environment is just what my mental health has called for. Even with the bare bones this site currently is, I am finding it far more fun creating my own space than I have found in social media in a long time. Plus I am a little more free to be myself. I'll go back to my "ooh shiny" website building to make this place my mine. It'll be plenty of growing pains and changes made to this space over time but I think I will be having fun with it along the way.


Launching 2026

01 Jan 2026

So, why not start something crazy for the begning of 2026. My New Year's goal is to get as off the grid as I possibly can. This means I am trying to make my food from scratch as much as possible. Have a cleaner diet over all. Start shopping locally instead of the big chains, even though I know I can only avoid them so much I am going to minimize the spending. I am pulling away from the mainstream and social media as much as I can. Between the AI slop and doom scrolling, my mental health did not appreciate how I spent 2025. I will still venture on the social media platforms from time to time to check in with friends/family but will be spending most of my time messing around on here(as long as the ADHD allows). In the end it will just be all the social media stuff I share in one page, run by me, on my own little site. I will hopefully add some way to comment on posts and such soon, too. If I can get this far in off nd on focus for the last two weeks, by the end of the year it should be great, I hope. Here's to the new year!
