  Image description: a Bitmoji cartoon of me,
  a chubby, fair-skinned, green-eyed,
  brunette-with-gray person wearing blue winter clothing
  and smirking; the caption reads "challenge accepted!"

  I am very glad that my younger child's usual food craving is canned green beans. Note: get more canned green beans.

• I wish Apple had a way to put ActivitySharing notifications in their own folder. I love the kudos and well wishes, but it would be nice if I didn't have to scroll through them all to get at my regular texts, like hey-could-you-pick-up-some-milk and the like.

• And on that note, I yogaed too hard and too fast yesterday. I'm a little sore in spots. Nothing slower and more controlled yoga (plus ibuprofen and a hot shower) can't cure.

• I see that the apples and oranges comparisons are fast and furious this weekend.

• Inazuma is zappy. Piemon is still a menace. It made me feel anxious, so I went back to Liyue for the Lantern Festival.

• The voice actors and event themes in Genshin Impact amuse me. Yesterday's gameplay was all Mulan ("Let's get down to business") and My Hero Acadamia (in Bakugo's voice) and Tangled (floating lanterns).

• I called a cartoon character a brat yesterday. And it wasn't even Caillou. Or Junior.

• Or Piemon.

• I have paperwork to do today.

• And laundry.

• And assisting with Lizzy's Finals Week prep.

• And assisting Abby with her paperwork for school.

• That's... well, that's it. A day (off) in the life.
