Nightscape mode on the OnePlus 8 Pro is kind of hit or miss. I think this is mostly a hit.

Today Was a Good Day

Happiness in various forms Today was a good day. Which means the other days weren't. And that's just the truth. I've been realizing for a while now that my mood has been less than good lately, and has been getting worse over the last 3 or 4 weeks. The monotony of Quarantine Life was getting to me, but I wasn't allowing myself to admit to that. As a happy member of the introverts club this should be my shining moment! No need to come up with excuses to not go out with people from work or reasons to leave early?! Sign me up. And for the first month or so things were fine. Then I noticed I was getting short with the people I do interact with. I was cutting daily walks with the dog short, and I wasn't enjoying reading, or watching stuff.

He acts all majestic in the wind; head up, fur flowing in the wind. I swear he poses on windy days.

I'd been looking forward to this @crownandbuckle perlon to arrive, and had to get it on wrist right away. I think my KFA has it's summer threads. This looks great!

Let's face it, this guy isn't known as a lume monster. So when I caught him trying to show off a bit after coming inside I had to catch him in the act.

Woke up and watched @justbluefish make the argument that this guy could be an excellent candidate for a 1 watch collection. I have to respectfully agree.

So apparently today is Saturday. The Orient Mako II helping me time pancakes and keeping me up to date on just what day it is. The day complication might be my most useful complication these days. #pancakes🥞
