First day of kitchen reno starts today. Putting this here as a note for myself to see how many months its going to take to get back to normalcy. In all fairness we knew coming into this house we had to do the kitchen reno for it to be the way A likes it. (Why didnt we just buy an updated house to begin with? different story). We didnt want to wait it out for a while and wanted to just get done with this. This is the last of our updates for a while, most likely forever at this point. So yeah, I am looking forward to seeing this done in a couple of months (if we get lucky!) and start enjoying it.

Which bright butterfly’s idea was it to host Asia cup in Sri Lanka during peak monsoon season. What bunch of idiots.
Everytime I hear **chariots of fire** I remember Khoob Bhari Maang.
When it comes time for college I would never encourage my girl to apply anywhere in that shit state and now even more so.

It’s incredible the deluge of polls that have suddenly emerged about Biden’s age and how that’s a problem. At just 3 years younger I guess Trump is a youthful bundle of joy that everyone can get behind right? I don’t care if Biden is in a wheel chair and in 90s I will vote for him over any repulsive shit spewing from the “conservative” party.
I am really struggling with purchasing Apple One vs individual subscriptions and justifying cost differences. I already have the 2TB (10 bucks a month plan) for my iCloud storage. I had 6 months free of Apple Music through Verizon thats come to an end. I had free Apple TV+ also thats come to an end recently. On one hand, going for the premium Apple One subscription (33 bucks a month) seems to make sense – I get 2TB storage, family music subscription and Apple TV+ which are of main interest – and then news thrown in though its kind of useless for me. On the other hand if I buy the individual apple music and apple tv+ subscription i will end up spending 26-27 bucks a month anyway. Its ridic how expensive apple services packages are on a per month basis.
I don’t know whats the best path ahead at this time. I am stuck to the 2TB plan coz storage and there is no 1TB plan that apple offers for say 5bucks a month which would’ve been perfect! Apple music is an ideal choice to stay within ecosystem (though Spotify is better I hate the company for its shitty policies). Feels like no matter what I am spending 20 bucks a month on Apple services which feels a little ridiculous! I like Apple TV+ but I think i need to get better about canceling it as soon as shows end (in today’s case it would be Foundation – yeah yeah i am still stuck to it).
And second part of my two part procedure done. Two weeks ago did the colonoscopy and today was endoscopy. Though latter is the smaller procedure I am feeling more groggier and sleepier today than I was two weeks ago. Well that means a nice afternoon nap beckons.
Finished S2 of The Bear last night and what a stark difference between season 1 and 2. S2 was phenomenal as it progresses while I found s1 chaotic. But what an acting performance by Jamie Lee Curtis in the short role she has – ooof!
Well atleast the swamp called Florida will sink faster so small mercies [Antarctica warming much faster than models predicted in ‘deeply concerning’ sign for sea levels | Antarctica | The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/08/antarctica-warming-much-faster-than-models-predicted-in-deeply-concerning-sign-for-sea-levels)
Having a bit of a tough time at work, and it is kind of my doing. I am not a great advocate of myself, and like many other desis am almost always like *let my work speak for me* type nonsense. In big corporate companies that sentiment doesnt translate far so I need to do better, but I just somehow go back to my own comfortable nonsense of my work speaking for me. Ugh.
