Nose to the grindstone 2025
Lawd - tariffs will cripple Tiger Claw. YMAA prints in the USA (& Europe) so I thought we’d be bulletproof. But a lot of our paper comes from Canada & our dvd blanks & cases come from PRC. Immortal Studios will only be affected if anti-Asian sentiment rises again like it did last time. And Den of Geek is based in NY & London, so they're bulletproof. 

Yoga was good - restorative class & I sorely needed some restoration. I finally was able to update my Mac OS so today will likely be spent getting all my preferences and such reset.

China Cats is at the Vet's Hall tonight, but it's cold & gloomy out and I just don't have the juice. Just gonna stay home and watch TV.

Not looking forward to my next invoice. US Customs already got weird with a previous invoice (pre-tariff) doing random duties. My items are 4% and this invoice had everything from 3.8% to 25%; I’m pretty sure that they have switched to AI given the random stupidity involved.
In the Tudor Period, Fencing Masters were classified in the Vagrancy Laws along with Actors, Gypsys, Vagabonds, Sturdy Rogues, and the owners of performing bears.

Make Brown Bread. Eat Brown Bread with Kerrygold butter.

Tell the CFs we miss them.

Yoga soon then work. Stacy has clients so it’s just me & Yuki today and I might as well tend to some odd work tasks.

Another day of "Why do I still have this stuff?" as I move things around the garage to make room for El Señor. I need more dumpsters.

By ‘make’ do you mean ‘bake’ or ‘pinch’?

It’s Monday again, back to work. 2 telemeets with a third scheduled during another so I won’t attend that.

Could be both.

Lots of time with bank fraud trying to clear up the incursion into my account. They should have filed a fraud claim on my behalf two weeks ago when I first called but they did not. They gave me the run around instead. I hope I resolved that. Then I spent an hour making the same clarifications about a large wire transfer that I made on Friday. Finally got that cleared up and one of the kids got their inheritance. Now I just have to get money out to the other four.
