200mg caf by 6:30a alarm dietary usuals 29g brekarito 30g * * * Full backup from scratch onto the 128GB thumbdrive took until almost 9 am, just short of 24 hours. Part of the slowness was due to Reflector choking on 2 very large files: - the ~10GB Miaraka archive, which I tossed; and - 9.8GB zip archive of scans of Dad's photos et al. I'm torn about summarily deleting scans of his Alaska road trip pics, or cruise with Karen, or occasion cards. Probably would've helped if I'd scanned t... (...more)

6+ inches snowfall between Sat and Sun dietary selfcare usuals; refilled protein bev mix / supplemt powder pods pipeline As of Sun eve, I defeated all the brandy, bourbon and vodka from the holidays. So, that's one less neurotic distraction.

Another snowy day. Expected only maybe 1" tops, and turning to rain in the afternoon, but as of noon it's def more than 1 inch. Hope it cleans up some before overnight freeze. More snow tomorrow?
