      <description>&lt;!--list-separator--&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Diwali Chocolates&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We (Saa and I) helped Pushp pack 65 boxes of chocolates for a Diwali order.&#xA;(Another 35 were packed without our help). It seemed to have taken way longer&#xA;than we expected it would. But, each additional step, however small, adds up!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here&amp;rsquo;s some pretty pictures! Let me know if you&amp;rsquo;d like to get one for yourself,&#xA;or gift it to someone (in NCR).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;figure&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://punchagan.muse-amuse.in/ox-hugo/chocolate-boxes.jpg&#34;&#xA;        alt=&#34;Chocolate boxes ready to go&#34; width=&#34;300&#34;&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;&#xA;          &lt;h4&gt;Chocolate boxes ready to go&lt;/h4&gt;&#xA;        &lt;/figcaption&gt;&#xA;    &lt;/figure&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;figure&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://punchagan.muse-amuse.in/ox-hugo/salted-caramel.jpg&#34;&#xA;        alt=&#34;Salted Caramel Chocolates, discard pile?!&#34; width=&#34;300&#34;&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;&#xA;          &lt;h4&gt;Salted Caramel Chocolates, discard pile?!&lt;/h4&gt;&#xA;        &lt;/figcaption&gt;&#xA;    &lt;/figure&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;!--list-separator--&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Screen printing Saa&amp;rsquo;s art&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Read-up about how screen printing is done, while trying to decide on a vendor&#xA;to print some bags with Saa&amp;rsquo;s art for family. Printo folks did a decent job&#xA;with it, despite it being quite hard to communicate with them and zero down on&#xA;them. Their review step, confirming whether a picture would work with screen&#xA;printing, only comes after making the full payment, which is a pain. Things&#xA;might have been easier if we were dealing in person, I suppose.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;!--list-separator--&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Bunch of Blaggregator updates&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I ended up making a &lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/recursecenter/blaggregator/blob/0f85819d71a1906f68bc3feafcb44f20f8ce62fb/CHANGES.md#2026-11&#34;&gt;bunch of updates&lt;/a&gt; to Blaggregator after many years,&#xA;including merging a &lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/recursecenter/blaggregator/pull/190&#34;&gt;year old PR&lt;/a&gt; that I had forgotten about. Hopefully, simple&#xA;maintenance like migrating to newer versions of packages and such should be&#xA;easier with LLMs!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;!--list-separator--&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Workouts&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This was a particularly bad week. I only got one gym session in. And Diwali&#xA;week meant lots of bad eating and bad air, noise, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;</description>
