Does that mean your lightbulbs change color when it gets warm or cold?

I'm just happy that I can cope, that or I'm happy for 3 nights and 2 days off.

Bring it 2021, I'm ready for the big fight!

Well, not yet, but it's a great idea. I've been tinkering with smart home and IoT stuff the last few days and I'm nowhere near there. Earlier today, I got a Philips smart socket to work so I can turn it on and off, so why not?

Thinking this smart home thing is my new obsession. There's just so much you can do.

My brother's (now ex) wife made him get rid of his phillips light bulb set when they moved overseas. She thought they were decadent and unnecessary. It just so happened that I got him a new set that Christmas. :zoinks:

We bought some smart globes last year. If it's dark when coming home from work, I can turn the carport and front door lights on using my phone before I get there.

Mollie and Kira are fine. The vet said it's most likely that Mollie is in the first stages of dementia given her meowing loudly for no reason. Her teeth are fine and she's in good health otherwise.

Kira did #1 and#2 inside his carrier on the way to the vet. Then he was panting. Basically a huge panic attack for him.  But he was ok with the vet.

They were both vaccinated and it cost me $180.

Interesting about Mollie.  At least once a day Martha will screech for a few seconds.  I had been thinking it is connected to food or water, but probably should keep an ear out to see what it could correlate to.

They are decadent and unnecessary, but that's the whole idea. It's fun.

Luna's behaviour is slowly changing. So a while ago i was wondering if these could be early signs of dementia.
Since a few months she's getting way more vocal. Not even close to a neighborhood cat a bit older than her though. He really goes louder than a peacock. (I grew up close to peacocks, ) it's amazing how much sound can come out of a cat. He has watery demented eyes too. But still knows his way around.
Luna is an estimated 16/17.

Martha's 18th is coming up Feb 26.  She was abandoned around Mardi Gras.  Since we adopted her and her sister we named them Martha Gras and Ashley Wednesday.  They were indoor cats from 2003 to 2005.  They were accidentally (and fortunately) locked out during Katrina until we returned.  Prince Albert wouldn't let them in the house because he didn't know if they'd caught anything.  By the time vets were open we just left them out since they seemed happy.  Ashley died about 2 years later.  After PA died in 2014 we brought Martha in.  So she had a little over 2 years indoors and about 9 years outdoors.  She's been an indoor cat for the last 4 years.  So she's been lucky even with the outside time.

Mollie was born on my bed in 2005. So that will make her 16 this year. As I wrote the previous sentence, she meowed loudly three times. She's lying under one of the dining room chairs.

A respectable age. :)

In other news, my job title's changed. Monday, actually, but I haven't been around since Sunday. The pay is the same but I am a lead content architect now.
