m_d_hBut I still did my full weight lifting workout, although I skipped the aerobic stuff because the hours of chores felt like enough of a workout.
Was closer to 3pm than 2pm when I started warming up and cleaning out, but I'm happily warming up my butt for toy play. I closed off my entire calendar for tomorrow, although I don't expect to take the entire day off. I just don't want to worry about tomorrow until I wake up.
I did clean up the rats nest under the living room stereo -- much better now. Right now, I actually have the stereo hooked up directly to my ancient iPad via its ancient headphone jack. Sounds great! I learned today about different audio formats and different wireless standards, and decided this high-end stereo would sound best if it were hooked up directly. I'll pop it back over to the ancient AirPort before T returns, that's the main way we play to the stereo these days. But Apple stopped making AirPorts! The alternatives are not great. Audiophiles are keeping up a brisk market in used and refurbished AirPorts because there's really nothing as good if you want to stream music to your stereo wirelessly.
But Friday I was getting these gaps in the music over the AirPort. I tried rebooting everything, kept happening. So I thought I'd try a direct connection for tonight's enjoyment. I'm not disappointed! Sounds wonderful even coming from the ancient iPad.
Could be something overwhelming our wireless router, we've got so many Internet devices in this house.
Listening to FKA Twigs, starting with EP1 and moving forward chronologically, over Apple Music / ancient iPad / headphone jack / jack-to-RCA converter / stereo. The ancient iPad still does a great job at a few things, but mainly the world has left it behind, no longer supporting iOS or app upgrades. Can't even use the Kindle App on it anymore. It's got the beautiful clock app that no longer exists on the App Store, and it can play porn videos (and other videos, LOL), and it can stream music.
The music streaming doesn't even tax its battery. At all.

Warming up with my Gape Keepers from Topped Toys -- first the 75, now the 85 -- and the 85 is feeling mighty powerful today. Turns out I've got plenty of toys at the house, didn't need to bring any from the condo to have a fun time :-)
But Dax is sad. But it is a wet and cold day! He normally wouldn't get a walk on a day like today. Sorry, Dax! He's whining about being ignored, and I'm being mean to him, sigh. Back when we were crate training him I'd put him in the crate while playing with toys, because he just won't leave me alone. Sigh. I'll pay more attention to him tomorrow! He'll probably get a 4-mile hike in the morning.
