I woke early, grabbed my phone and bluetooth speaker, and
headed toward the shower. Let the water warm, see what's new
in the podcast queue, and pop open the email.

Huh... a few of the routine automated things were missing. 

Pop open Tusky. Pop open Element. Refresh.

Timeout.

Hmmm... the websites?

Bad gateway.

Shit. I know what this is. I've politely chastised clients
for this... and I do know better. I forgot to set a calendar
reminder. The CRL expired. The vpn logs confirmed it.

Fixing it was not a problem. Tedious, but not a problem.  I
use OpenVPN to separate and proxy some front end access from
some back end services. The parts are always moving, so I
revoke certificates from time to time -- just not that
often. Find the box with the PKI data, decrypt and mount
volumes, generated a new CRL, etc.

Somehow, the rest of the day followed suit: Not hard. Just
tedious. At least I was able to handle the unexpected hiccups.

I also set a few calendar reminders. :-)
