Done This Week

I got to have the house to myself for hours and hours on Friday, due to a medical appointment for my dad. Glorious. My god, I am losing my mind over never getting to be alone in my own house.

I then spent Saturday on a whirlwind mini vacation to see the local Pride events. I went to the movies, toured the street fair, got myself dinner and ice cream, and then saw my first drag (and burlesque) show.

I’m working hard on doing more things by myself. Because it’s that or I don’t get to do them at all. The fact is that I don’t have friends locally (again) and no one really has time for me. I’m the only one who’s going to look out for my well-being.

Which is depressing if I let it be. So I’m trying to just approach it as an adventure instead.

Lewisia: 6 new pieces written

Day job: 25.75 hours, between the Memorial Day holiday and taking a day off (mandatory, #1 of 5, *seething resentment*)

Crafting: making one of those paper chain thingies out of fancy origami paper to count down to my surgery date

Gardening: moved almost all the office plants outside now that the weather is more stable and warmer

Watching: Furiosa--I went in with the understanding that it would not, could not, match the pure artistry and glory of Fury Road, and thus I had a perfectly happy time and will probably write about it in some capacity

Listening: Sun Suite by Louie Zong (needed something soothing and Louie always delivers the chill vibes), Tracy Chapman’s eponymous album (so good and so sad???)

Aftermarket Parts: paid the surgeon’s fees, left message with hospital for trying to find out their fees as well

Other: unloaded hay, drag and burlesque show
