Done This Week
Aug. 7th, 2022 06:49 amA proper weekend at last! Which I admittedly spent the start of by sweating and swearing my way through moving mattresses and cleaning under furniture. But now I have The Most Comfortable Bed to show for it. Gods, I can't wait for winter, when I get to burrow under approximately twenty blankets, including the electric one, whilst lying on the softest, squishiest bed ever.
I've also been catching up on sleep and chores, though not yet catching up on social media. Naps take priority over feeds, you know?
It's not been entirely restful, as one of the dogs is doing very poorly and not long for this world. But I at least feel a bit more like I have the internal resources to cope with such things.
Lewisia: 3 new pieces written, all August posts queued up
Gratitude journaling: 35 new entries
Tumblr queue: 28 posts added
Day job: 42.5 hours, because I just had to get there a little early at the start of the week and stay a little late at the end, obvs...
Cooking: sometimes, the YT algorithm points me at food actually worth making, so I made these gnocchi-like potato lumpkins in a soy and chili powder dressing and lo, they were chewy and delightful and shaped like mushrooms
Gardening: ordered some seeds for fall
Reading: finished Devil House, finished Hunger Pangs (so sweet, need moar!), started What Moves the Dead
Listening: can't remember if I mentioned anything the last time I bought a bunch of music (I Only Listen to the Mountain Goats & Beat the Champ by the Mountain Goats, City Poppin' by Caitlin Myers, A Colm Night at Sea by Colm R. McGuinness, and Mischief by S. J. Tucker) but I've gone and bought Mythcreants by Tricky Pixie (which is also S. J. Tucker in part), an album I had wanted desperately years ago and then lost track of
The Bedroom Project: new mattress arrived, got help from my dad in trimming down the existing mattress frame to size (and he only lost a thumbnail, not the whole thumb! *hollow laughter* we are disasters...), cleaned my huge collection of stuffed animals off with a lint roller (*shakes fist at cat*), and set up the new bed, proceeded to sleep like the dead
