About to have the traditional Christmas Chinese food, and thanks to the miracle of frozen, microwaveable P.F. Chang's, I don't even have to put on clothes and go out to a local Chinese restaurant for it. 😄

Spent 1:05 writing tonight, and got 318 words done, plus a little unavoidable editing.
Getting used to doing things on Linux. Some of my prior tooling really did smooth things over for me, and I really need to find a way to recreate it.

WTF, why does my Firefox spell checker now think that "ti" is a word?¹ And so it doesn't put a red squiggle under it?
I am a very good speller, but only a so-so typist; I know how to spell most words, but I make transposition typos pretty much every sentence. So I cast my eyes over the text entry field looking for red squiggles before I hit "Post".
How do I take a word *out* of Firefox's dictionary? Argh.
1. Oh, it thinks re , mi, fa, etc. are too. Crap.
Well, it looks like I've got all the stuff I need to do some writing. All my ancillary scripts and whatnot are working, I'm back in touch with my Git repo, all that jazz.
But I seem to have totally used up my brain power for today. (Last night's awful sleep didn't help.)
So I think I'm gonna skip writing tonight, and just veg with some kind of video or something.
Okay, I probably can't have the behavior I want, but it can't hurt to ask, right?
What I want: Pressing Super+2 goes to the first-opened window of the application that's 2nd in the task bar. Pressing Super+2, holding Super and tapping 2 a second time goes to the second-opened of those windows, without activating the first. (Etc. for Super+N for any of the first 9 items on the task bar.) 1/3

I have an emoji picker now! 🥳🎆🍾🎉 Oh frabjous day! 😁😎
Making progress.
Okay, I looked in the Software Manager, found Emoji Mart, installed it. Set up a custom shortcut to invoke it (yay, learning!). Now it pops up when I want, and I can pick an emoji...
...and then nothing happens. How do I *insert* that emoji into what I'm writing?
Has anyone else had that problem?

Wow, those were some *fucking awful* dreams. 😫
Also, dry throat.
Ugh. I feel like hammered shit.
But I've got my nice, warm robe wrapped around me and some comfy tea brewing, so maybe I can face the day.
