Done This Week

[scrubjayspeaks]

Well, I’m a zombie. Lots of arriving early and staying late at work, capped off by almost a full day on Saturday to do painting while the building was mostly empty. I’m not getting enough sleep, I’m not eating enough for how much physical activity I’m doing, and I’m not getting enough recovery time for my joints and muscles to cope with the demand. So, uh, I’m not feeling my best. Not sick, just moderately expired.

We got the truck back--it was fine, just a bit expensive because it needed a new catalytic converter--and both dropped off and picked up my car, which was entirely fine.

The days have suddenly turned very warm. All the birds are out. All the weeds are making a break for it.

Lewisia: no new pieces written

Day job: 51 hours *wheezepant*

Reading: Love Notes from the Hollow Tree by Jarod K. Anderson (poetry collection, his work is always a joy)

Watching: Fantastic Fungi (2019) documentary (wanted it for the pretty visuals, which is all it’s really good for from a mycology perspective), The X-Files season one, episodes 8 to 10 (I really enjoy the enthusiastic overacting of some of the supporting/background characters)

Listening: For the Girl in the Garden by S.J. Tucker (inspired by Catherynne M. Valente’s Orphan’s Tales books, a mix of spoken book bits and songs, a charming mix that reminds me I need to go back and finish that book someday)

Playing: after much debate inspired by the Pokemon 30th anniversary announcements, my frustration with the cost and all-digital policies of the Switch 2, and general nostalgia, I am playing Let’s Go, Pikachu! again and possibly carrying my Pokeball+ around like a child

Clock Mouse: 87 minutes of planning work
