    Have done 82 days of studying Latin on Duolingo. I do a lot of practice exercises so I get all the declensions. I am improving. 🙂

    Tomorrow I will attempt to pick up one of the strays and bring them to this makeshift cat motel.

    Then they’ll be taken to the vet to be spayed and brought back to recover.

    It’s a start.

        Neither. I did a 12 week active weightloss run with calorie counting a few months ago. I notice one month, a third of my calories were from sugar/lollies. I finished the 12 weeks, stopped tracking my food but also stopped eating so much crap. Still losing weight.

        I shouldn’t be too open about what it is yet. Doesn’t affect me fortunately, but it is a big deal for those it does. I’ve been through this shit a few times so I’m just glad to be in the situation where it doesn’t impact me in the slightest for once

        You could put down some chords to wild out under. I haven’t looked into it fully but there are probably some percussion presets you could loop for practice that’s more interesting than a metronome.

        Keyboard like this is also great for scales, which is the secret sauce for being a great bassist too
