@gabriel_true Day 69: Can't believe that tomorrow is Christmas Eve–like, this year seems so fast and slow all in one, but I'm thankful for the things I've learned in 2025. I hope your 2026 is better in ways unimaginable, Gabby, yet possible in Christ. - Cheers To A Strong Finish: Ying-Ying

I had a dream about running an entertainment companion cafe. You would be served food and drinks by robots controlled by AI with character personalities. On the menu you could choose your server. There were 6 humans, a cat, a dog. They had numbers on their backs to show that they were AI. You could summon any of them from a kiosk if they were available and could chat or play simple games with them.
