Done This Week

scrubjayspeaksThis week has been significantly less garbage. Yay? I have played an absurd amount of Stardew Valley, getting to enjoy some of the newer features for the first time. I’m off pain meds, except for the occasional Tylenol (which had been doing a number on my stomach when I was taking it on a schedule). I’m still very tired and somewhat uncomfortable, but I’m gradually figuring out what kinds of movements and positions my body will currently tolerate.
Happily, my updated driver’s license arrived, so I was able to get my application in for disability coverage. And the surgeon’s office continues to underpromise and over-deliver--they quote two to four weeks to complete their portion of it, and yet had it submitted to EDD in less than twenty-four hours.
I started cleaning corrals again in the evening. If I only pick up a small amount at a time, I’m technically under my weight restrictions. If I only go slowly, I’m technically not getting my heart rate up. Therefore, this is technically not exhausting, right?
Lewisia: five new pieces written, which covers the Monday posts for March, and I already had enough general posts saved up for the month, so I feel much better about life now
Cooking: these sourdough brownies (they genuinely do taste like they have cream cheese in them, very tasty), a very sad rendition of my usual Japanese fried chicken recipe, this Food Wishes recipe for harira soup (tasty and a nice change from the household’s usual flavor profiles)
Reading: Strangers in Paradise volume #4 by Terry Moore, relistening to Martha Wells’s Murderbot series #3 through #6 (which means I’m finally ready to listen to #7 for the first time wheeeee!)
Listening: Moomin Voices by Tove Jansson (so, whoops, I accidentally acquired the Finnish translation, not the Swedish version *facepalm*, but that just means I’ll listen to the Swedish one at some point in the future, I love the fusion of traditional folk and choir sounds with reversed segments and glitchy bits, wonderfully weird), "The Slur Song" by Bigfoot’s Biggest Fan (via this tumblr post, excuse me while I cackle endlessly, hilarious and rude and queer as fuck)
Aftermarket Parts: drains out, filing for temporary disability coverage
