Whatcha up to tonight, nostriches?
Me, I had a casual dinner date with wifey — delicious quesadillas, then we went for a walk by the river, cleaned the apartment, and now chilling out.
You?

Sounds lovely.
I’m currently in a standoff with one of my children who can’t go to sleep. I will take your chill vibes and embody them as I re enter the dragons den for the 10th time 😂
You’ve got this!
Or,
How did it go?
It went well, eventually 😂 He’s a lot like me, which makes everything a little more difficult. It takes a totally different approach than what I would do naturally. It’s taken my wife and I a while to figure him out, but we are making progress.
That’s a great answer! We haven’t made any kids of our own yet, but planning on a few. I’ll certainly be #asknostr-ing any parenting questions, seeing how well so many nostriches seem to treat their children 💜
You’ll be a wonderful father! 🤙🫂
Thank you, my friend 🫂 it feels very much like something I’m meant to do
It's literally the one thing we're meant to do😀❤️
Also I'm interested on raising child similar to a parent which brings complications. Our kids took one very sensitive and anxious after father and the second one is kinda like a thrown brick😁 And dealing with the brick, when he goes "fuck no," is very easy. I totally get where he throws a tantrum. I'd do it on his reasons as well, like grandma DON'T MIX my egg yolk in soup don't don't - well you did it anyway, wtf grandma...and the storm comes😀
I feel this, especially now that my wife isn't allowed to lift the baby while she recovers
Yeah, he wanted his mom too 😂. I’m trying to change the way I approach him, but it’s hard as it’s totally foreign and unnatural to what I have done with his older siblings. They’re all so different.
How is your wife doing? Did the operation go well? Any complications?
So far so good, some mysterious pains still but hopefully just part of the healing process.
That’s not an easy thing to go through. The unknowns of a pregnancy are enough as it is and to throw another thing on top.
Wishing you both all the best and a smooth rest of your pregnancy.
You to eh? My son and I grind sometimes. I have taken all insights from my wife and still feel like I am missing that extra momness.
Maybe prosthetic breasts could help us? 😂🤷♂️
He's 4, cheers when it's mom's turn to put him down, whines when it's a daddy night. I don't take it personally just wish I had more time to understand him
You will figure him out. It took us until he was 6-7 and we still mess it up. :)
Thanks wolf
Ps love the dual language of we / us
A huge part for me was that most times when him and I would struggle, it was because he was reflecting back to me the worst parts of myself. He’s so much like me, he learns my good/bad traits, and then I have to look in the mirror, accept that these are the parts I need to work on too.
Cooked some salmon w/rice, filed some GitHub issues for keys.band , writing user stories for my project, organizing my dev plans. Then I'm gonna chill and watch some Deadliest Catch and Ahsoka.
Very nice! I haven’t seen Ahsoka yet. How is it?
I like it, but I'll watch anything that is sci-fi 😁 seems to have good amounts of lightsabers so far. The other recent Sci Fi show that's decent and I've been enjoying is foundation.
A couple cleaning together is a good sign
Absolutely! We’re definitely aligned in terms of how clean/tidy our space should be, and share/divide chores pretty fairly
Another late night at the studio! Making larger sized Bitcoin mugs per popular request. Apparently previous ones were tea sized, not coffee sized 😂 also worked on some commissioned pieces. Probably heading home to sleep soon.
I’m all about those big mugs for coffee 🤣 Tea can be in just about anything 🍵
Do you have photos of your work? Just curious 🤙
I do! Here are pictures of some Bitcoin mugs that have already sold; I’ll post one that is for sale here on Nostr today, and maybe also progress pics on some larger sized ones I worked on last night.
As for non-Bitcoin themed things (which I sell only for sats), there are pics on my Etsy store:
