Done This Week

scrubjayspeaksAt last, I am not on any extra medication. I’ve gone a whole two days and haven’t exploded yet, so that’s promising. I’m only intermittently and lightly coughing. I’m pretty sure I can mostly hear out of both ears. My sinuses no longer periodically attempt to assassinate me. Yaaaay... *tiniest, groggiest pompoms*
I am particularly grateful to be feeling marginally less sick, because work did everything it could to kill me off ahead of my vacation time. Friday, in particular, threw everything it could at me. On the plus side, I programmed a robot. I also wired a temporary three-phase power supply drop. That one was a bit harrowing, but I guess I can’t say I was in over my head, because I sure did supply power without setting anything on fire.
Also, the only rain we got all week occurred in the half hour in which I was up on the roof, trying to replace air filters. Because sure, obviously, why not?
Speaking of vacation, I am now on a week of it. By the gods, I better have some fun this week. I’ve had about as much petty unpleasantness as I can take for the month.
Lewisia: still on break
Day job: 46.25 hours, with early starts and late ends
Cooking: decided to wing it on my usual curry recipe and managed to brain crisis my way through it nearly to inedibility, chocolate-chocolate chip edible cookie dough
Reading: The Wonder Engine by T. Kingfisher (gnole cultural studies! fantasy industrial infrastructure! some other rather upsetting stuff! ...I really liked it), The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: Quintessential Phase (continuing the BBC Radio productions, I found this one a bit frustrating to follow along with, though I found the whole sandwich shop bit oddly touching)
Watching: Revolutionary Girl Utena episodes 27 to 29 and halfway into 30, Sinners (spectacular, holy shit?!)
Listening: Midnight Signals by Starcadian (synthwave, with a surprising thread of disco, found by way of Dan on Game Grumps noting his death last year :/)
Playing: continuing to enjoy renewed interest in Animal Crossing, the gift that keeps on giving
Clock Mouse: 117 minutes of planning work
