Cheers to anyone else doing the “your bank connection has been lost, reconnect with Plaid” routine every three days. I’m thinking it’ll be quicker just to do a manual export / import for expenses once a month rather than deal with reconnecting all the time.
The current social media diet of 1/4 horrors of the world, 1/4 business marketing toots, 1/4 silly memes, and 1/4 cool friends sharing fun stuff isn’t sitting well in my brain.
Exploring invoicing apps every few months and I always end up back where I started not because it’s the best, but because the devil I know is safer than the devil I don’t. 😪

End of an era: we sold off the trampoline we’ve owned for almost 10 years. There will be a giant circle shaped hole in the backyard this year.
One plus is less to move when I mow the grass. 😂
I’ve got an iPhone 13 Pro and have no need or reason to upgrade except for the way I have to jiggle the cable to make a connection to charge it.

STAY AWAY FROM MY CO-HOST! Perfect video. No notes.
