Done This Week

scrubjayspeaksWent to lunch with A, which involved hearing the whole sordid story of her husband’s illness and death. We’re doing that thing where friends in tough times just trade back and forth the same twenty bucks and the same small acts of kindness.
Between the weed whacking last weekend and a particularly demanding day at work, I have absolutely infuriated this one spot in my back. So even though the weather is good at the moment, I can’t do much of anything outside. I just really need to get this under control and not let it spiral. So it’s all rotations of ice packs and heating pads for me. Look at me being smart and kind to myself. I hate it!
Mum and I went to the farmer’s market again, and I got the first decent strawberries of the year, as well as the only decent bagels I’ve ever gotten in this area. We also went to the tea shop, and I got a black tea and an herbal, both fruity types. Now if I could just get some really nice cheeses somewhere, I would have all I can ask for.
I have discovered earthworms in the larger jar terrarium. Wriggling about! I am immediately filled with anxiety over the responsibility to keep them healthy and happy. I added a bit of fresh and old leaves in the top if they want them. Help, everything is a pet!
Lewisia: 3 new pieces written
Day job: 42.5 hours, and one bonus shower no one wanted
Crafting: darned some socks again
Reading: My Man Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse (while I have accepted, via cultural osmosis, that Wodehouse is grand, I’ve never actually read any before--can confirm, is quite grand!)
Listening: The Past is Still Alive by Hurray For The Riff Raff (another fine example of indie country)
Clock Mouse: 1692 words--lots of words this week! Still haven’t named a single character! What am I doing with my life!
Other: unloaded hay
