Most of our neighbours seem to have been notified that the power will be off from 9-5 today. Our house didn't get anything, but I'm anticipating the lights going out in a couple of hours - which makes pretending to work from home even harder...

Weird being home alone without the wife or child. So much quiet. So much peace. So many things from my to do list are getting done.

Benefits related seminar in a bit so I can find out how many extra thousands in employee responsible costs have now been shifted onto me for 2025.

My 2025 increased, but not horrifically so. I see that happening in 2026 after repubs have repealed anything that looks like useful levels of affordable healthcare and the companies all triple their prices.
