scrubjayspeaksOkay. So. I have a partial draft of something for Lewisia #1000. It’s...well, it’s odd, but I suppose that’s fitting enough. I have to finish writing it today so I can get the month’s posts queued up. *tea kettle noises* It’s fine. Everything’s fine.
Got hurt several times at work. Just minor (ish) stuff, all of it directed at my right hand. It’s healing, but it’s a bit slow. Probably because it’s hard for skin to knit back together when you alternate between dousing it in 99% IPA and bashing it against blunt objects.
My copy of B. Dylan Hollis’ new cookbook, Baking Yesteryear, arrived. I would like to bake my way through it, which I’ve never done with a cookbook. Though I probably will skip at least a few of the recipes, or heavily modify them if possible, since certain things--pistachio anything, for example--are just never going to happen.
My book-reading goals are much more modest this year, as I remain deep in the thrall of Stranger Things fic. However, I have ended up with a theme for the year: queer nonfiction and autobiography (or things reasonably adjacent to those formats). Once I had a couple read, I just figured, okay, let’s keep going. There’s a surprisingly robust collection available digitally through my library, which is convenient.
Lewisia: 2 new pieces, plus another bonus piece written
Day job: 44.5 (absolutely fucked) hours
Cooking: ANZAC biscuits--so good
Gardening: more intensive weeding
Reading: finished We Both Laughed In Pleasure by Lou Sullivan (complicated feelings, but damn if I didn’t keep screenshotting passages that spoke with agonizing accuracy to the transmasculine experience); Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe (a quick little read that ended just as I felt it was getting to the good bits, but that’s just my personal fixation on transition at the moment, more than all the bits that come before)
Listening: The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars by David Bowie (Bowie, like Springsteen, is on the list of artists I know the greatest hits of but want to explore individual albums from)
