Week Wrap-up: 02 July 2018 – 08 July 2018

Jabberwocky the iguana, sleeping blissfully on a ramp in her enclosure.

This week’s felt really long, though much of that is probably because I’m tired and suggish as I’m writing this. Still, some cool stuff happened this week:

  • Boyfriend’s birthday! Happy birthday, Peter!
  • Got to play Lifeboat, a card game I haven’t played in some time. I even managed to win.
  • Finally hung some small shelves I’d been meaning to put up forever.
  • One of my houseplants is managing to recover from being almost completely dead (don’t hang your vines above a heater, y’all), and is shooting off new leaves.
  • Received an invitation to interview for a job.
  • Made significant progress on the rewrite of the first several thousand words of my novel, which is the last thing I need to finish before sending it off to a beta reader.
  • Fixed the hard drive on my linux desktop so the dang thing boots again.
  • Got to meet several excellent cats at one of the local cat cafes. My favorite was Robin, who was very determined to get the whipped cream from my drink and was very sweet in her attempts to bribe me into giving it to her. (Unfortunately, I was not allowed to give her any.)
  • Sort of got on a more regular sleep schedule.
  • Finished reading a couple of books I’d been working on forever, which means I’m in the clear to start new books! Yay!

Of course, no week is perfect:

  • I got pulled for jury duty and get to report at 8 AM tomorrow. Whee.
  • While I got some good cleaning done in my apartment, the process continues to feel overloading. Someday I will finish cleaning and decluttering, but that day always seems very very far away.
  • Despite the whole sleeping thing I continue to be Very Tired.
  • I also keep being Very Hot, in a temperature way. Please cool down, Seattle, and/or put air conditioning into your buildings.
  • The cockroach colonies need some TLC and I keep not finding the time/energy to do it for them. Hopefully today or tomorrow I’ll get a chance.
  • Been feeling quite lonely lately. It’s summer, so everyone is very busy, which probably doesn’t help anything.
  • Job hunting still sucks, even I did finally manage to get another interview invite.

And that’s about it! How were your weeks? What did you get up to?
