"I'll just restore them from a previous backup. Oh...."

I sure hope the 2024 backup got the XML file before the crash. If not...well, I guess I can start the database from scratch. Again.

Normally I do my backups from my laptop because (1) I used Windows for it and most everything I use daily is on Linux, and (2) power outages are the bane of my backup existence because of how long it would take to make the backup. It would usually take a week.

Since figuring out a way to make the backup (to my satisfaction) in Liunx, I decided to do it from my main PC, which is a pretty decently powered gaming rig and has a power backup assuming the power doesn't go out for longer than 30 minutes.

The back up is already 28% done! It'll probably be done before I go to bed. I can hear my PC wheezing pretty hard, though.

And here we go....

That dessert lasagna is good, but it definitely needs more of a glaze or wet filling. It's kinda dry. Good, but definitely dry.

While I'm loving all the Steamboat Willie memes, each time I see this, I hear that little whistle tune in my head. It's been nonstop all day....

So the incredibly expensinve medication company sent me a "Savings card" to use with my Tremfya, and everything. I figure since I'm no longer under my regular insurance, I should use it and got everything changed over to the new card.

Logged in after I hadn't recieved my meds to see "You are not eligible for the savings program."

Maybe don't send the insurance cards UNTIL I'M ELIGIBLE?

Also: American healthcare system still a joke.

Spent the evening dancing the night away for New Year's Eve in #secondlife, as I've done most every New Year's for years.

Brought a friend along who needed a nice night out after a rough 2023. As someone also having a rough 2023, it was good to finally bid it goodbye.
