scrubjayspeaks*tea kettle noises* Okay, lots of progress this week. Things are actually moving forward as they should. Which does mean I feel a bit like I’m on a roller coaster that just hit the top of the first big peak and the speed is about to take hold of me. Up to this point, I’ve been waiting for everyone else to catch up to me. Now I’m going, oh shit, oh shit, gotta start packing?!
Saw that killdeer I had been hearing.
Lewisia: 3 new pieces written
Day job: 34.25 hours, and having despaired last Sunday about having to work a full week, I forgot I was taking Wednesday off
Gardening: my old foe returns--WEEDING!, garden club post
Reading: The Soul of an Octopus by Sy Montgomery (had been meaning to read this for a long time, more narrative than the other nature books I’ve been reading, still very interesting but sometimes exceedingly sad), The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher (hi, hello, I have the shrieking horrors now, thank you for that, the ending twist was better than I had hoped)
Listening: did a combo pack of shorter things--BYTE BALLADS by Louie Zong (vocal synth stuff, sold me with the phrase “you’ve got to save yourself”), “Blinkmoth (July Mix)” by james K (a KEXP pick), and Moomination by Paszczak (experimental electronic stuff, yes, I did search Bandcamp for anything that mentioned Moomin and grabbed whatever seemed cool)
Aftermarket Parts: fielded more calls, submitted many documents, got provisional approval of my leave time (true approval doesn’t happen until it actually starts), paid my hospital fees *moth flies from wallet*
Clock Mouse: 1244 words, and at some point, I’m going to HAVE to name these people…
Other: unloaded hay twice
