scrubjayspeaksA very busy week at work that mostly involved people jerking me around. It must be nice to be the sort of person who can’t be fired, despite never actually doing your job in a proper or timely manner.
Somehow I seriously hurt my back between weed whacking and repairs at work. It seems like an excessive response to the work, but I spent the week struggling to manage the pain. That pretty much consumed my brain for all purposes. So naturally, I had to do a lot of heavy lifting and physically awkward tasks that made everything worse.
It’s been sunny and hot all week, because sure, why not?
Lewisia: 3 new pieces written, April posts queued up
Day job: 42.5 hours
Cleaning: replaced the thumb switches on two lamps
Gardening: weeding around some of the shrubs that got overwhelmed, watered out in the wildflower garden for the first time this year
Watching: you know what this calls for? A rewatch of Yu Gi Oh! starting with season 1, of course! *lolsob*
Listening: Give Us The Moon The Night Flight Orchestra (a rec straight from Bandcamp, it is so over-the-top 80s power ballad-inspired, I kept expecting the lyrics to devolve into parody, which is to say, it is unbelievably fun to listen to)
Clock Mouse: 1267 words--ended up pivoting to write a different take on an earlier scene as I start to get a feel for what I’m trying to say, which is certainly an interesting sign in a novel I keep refusing to plan in any way
Other: unloaded hay, an emergency trip to the mechanic for my car
