List

I once wrote a song called Lists. None of the others in the Chefs liked it, so we never recorded it; I'm recalling it today because I have a whole pile of lists on the kitchen table. 

The latest things that has gone wrong is that my Square payment system has locked me out and gives me an endless 'renew password' loop. Their ai assistant is as unhelpful as all ai assistants, so I'm going to have one last go by re-installing it on my phone later on (thanks for the tip, Caryne) before making the decision to be cash only or Paypal. It's too much stress to fight with an ai assistant full of helpful regret!

Strangely enough, I'm not stressed. Kenji has been really helpful, I've had my hair cut (one thing that I have control over), and realistically many of these things happen to everyone. Maybe not just all at once!

I hope an HDMI cable is on it's way, I've just ordered an adapter (I'll have two), I've realised that I'll have to have a bit of 'dead space' after the pre-recorded songs in case they run into the next one, so I'll re-export them this afternoon. Blimey, what a learning experience this is.

My Southside hat is ready and waiting: not only does it fill me with a sense of purpose, but it's also a remarkably effective fringe-flattener!
