I have a syndrome that my wife and I refer to as "vacation tummy". Basically, on a long vacation break (started last Thursday) we eat and drink to excess. After a bit of that we end up with a case of the "rumbly tummy" and despite our planned feasts we are not hungry and actually can not eat anymore (despite our continuous gorging).

I try to fight it with fiber caplets and hydration.

I suspect that my sedentary over-fed drinky-ness causes engorged liver thing to cause distress...I deserve gout along with it because I am a vacation slug.

That is proof that you were a very good boy this year! Now it's time to hit the breaker box and rewire those switches.

A long bed pickup truck with a camper shell.

I have a job that I hired on to 30 years ago off of a want ad in the local newspaper (google it, that's how it used to work) and thought to myself - "I'll be out of here in a few months".

I like the freedom from office/meeting shit (although they try to pollute it with that), I get to spend most of my time in customer-facing engagement (which is mostly awesome). Find work that you can enjoy even if working feels toxic (which it almost always does).

I've only ever had 1 Shelly go out on me and it's still installed. It's a 2.5 that stopped speaking wifi. It was set to detached mode to keep some hue bulbs powered. Now the physical switches are no use but it still works so I just left it for now.

New place opened lately near us...kinda pricy but really good food. 2 eggs over medium, sausage links, hash browns, biscuit and gravy. Fresh-squeezed OJ and coffee/water. Yeah, that's happening tomorrow.

Don't dig jigsaw but I am charging my (sadly ignored lately) kindle for the break.

Can't sleep in first day - the Mrs book cleaners at 8am. I'm thinking wake, shower, greet cleaners, go eat and be leisurely until they're done.

Converted ours to a gas insert a couple years ago after a freak ice storm shut everything down leaving us with no heat for nearly a week. We rarely used the fireplace except for dura-logs for ambience. Now at least we will have a (puny) heat source if that happens again.

Use both! I have Shelly relay units in the switch boxes (in detached mode) to make them smart and smart bulbs in the fixtures to give various warmth/brightness. Best of both worlds. My wife is not impressed when I explain how the switch just works when you flip it.

Oof, that was a slog - I burned out and started skipping around Thread. Also lemmy

Just be judicious in pruning the rind - ammonia flavor lurks there. Another great sammie - thin sliced beef, brie and horseradish on a baguette (sprinkled with capers) served cold. Argh, this is now becoming much less dull.
