In my office, untidy office,
The lion sleeps toniiiiight


I decided to start doing some of my own metabolism tracking with an eye to maintaining or improving body heat, all that stuff. To that end I was just looking for a decent basal thermometer, as you're supposed to take your temps before you even get out of bed in the morning. Little did I know, women doing cycle tracking and natural pregnancy stuff also use these things and I get the sinking feeling my search results are going to be fucked up for weeks. Like way worse than the time Amazon thought I had a kid because I was shopping for cute lunch boxes. Yes, I'm a grown-ass adult. Yes, I want a lunch box with a kitty on it. Go pound sand.

I need to get outside and pick up around the base of the radio tower. Fox got his battery backup system sorted out yesterday, and he dug out some of the loose/unconnected copper wire that isn't tied into the grounding, so I can pick up broken bricks and stuff and weed-whack. Why are there all those broken bricks and stuff, anyway? Were we trying to keep weeds down?

That's an adorable little kitty friend you have there!

I've never heard of metabolism tracking. I wish you the best of luck. I have had similar "issues" with Amazon. I wish there was a way to be like, "No. I'm simply an adult that likes the things that they like. Stop sending me targeted ads for kid toys." Although, if the targeted ads aren't hitting, I'm less likely to buy something I don't need... XD

I've been going down a bit of a rabbit hole with metabolism and eating more, which started off as trying to improve my running performance. I came across the idea that your basal temps first thing in the morning should be within a particular range, and decided to start measuring that instead of paying for a fancy metabolic chamber test.

Between Fox and myself, our targeted ads can get weird. I use some ad and cookie blockers, but they don't get everything, so we'll start seeing weird ads and tease each other about "what were you searching for." Last year, I was getting 'targeted' ads to boost my testosterone, and he was getting them for pregnancy tests, so I think we've managed to confuse the hell out of several web trackers.

Sympathies for the death of your algorithm. I keep clicking on toddler clothes and ruining mine. They're brightly colored and comfortable! There's nothing for scale!

Thank you XD
So far it hasn't recommended baby clothes or anything but Feisal would look cute in a onesie, if he didn't shred me trying to put it on.
