69F - 43F : Sunny
I tried to go to bed at 1am, but failed, but stayed in bed until 3am. Then I got up and talked to Sarah's friend Gerta for a while. Normally Gerta just PMs Sarah and doesn't talk to the rest of us, but I guess Sarah has missed her appointed time to talk to Gerta several days in a row, so Gerta was worried and wanted to know if I had seen her. Gerta was telling me that the Netherlands had originally had crazies like the people who spit on my friend at Walgreens but they'd all been arrested and spent a week in a jail, and now it had stopped. I hope they actually arrest this bitch and give her jail time, and continue to consistently do that to people like that.
Anyway, the number of you who think both that Kevin is a libertarian and that he voted for Bernie Sanders is baffling. How do the two go together? Anyway, you're right that he voted for Bernie Sanders but he is probably closest to a democratic socialist. The correct answer to all of the questions of whom he voted for is Bernie Sanders (including the 2016 general). Anyway, he's certainly not a republican, and if we started lining up republican leaders in the street to shoot them all, he'd volunteer to be the gunman.
I went to bed around 4am and woke up around 4pm. This does not bode well for my ability to get to a dentist appointment at 1 tomorrow afternoon. I did, however, wake up several times earlier than that because Katrina came and cleaned, so I woke up at 10 to let her in and at 1 so she could clean my bedroom and at 1:30 to pay her and lock the door after she left. Then I crawled back into bed and slept until 4. Kevin was asleep when I woke up.
I read lj and dw, and that was about it for the day. Kevin woke up and we ordered dinner from a burger place. They fucked it all up and I was sad. They gave Kevin exactly what he ordered, but they gave me a bacon cheese burger with nothing but lettuce on it when I ordered a plain cheeseburger with lots of toppings, and then they didn't give me fries at all. Kevin gave me some of his fries, but they were Parmesan flavored so they weren't very good, and I only got like a quarter of a small fries because they only filled his fries up halfway and then I got half of what was left. It was wholly unsatisfying, and I don't think we'll ever be ordering from BurgerFi again.
After dinner I logged onto the SCA meeting. They had a bid for Red Tower, our October event, which I guess is really aspirational because I think we're going to be just starting a second wave of virus right around then. I'm not going either way because if things do go well, that's the weekend of my 20th high school reunion. But they've received permission to proceed as though this is going to happen, but try not to spend money on things that are perishable yet. Iazzie's wife is going to run it, which is interesting, because she never does anything with the group. I didn't even know he was married until they tried to run for baron and baroness. I'm surprised so many people want to go ahead with this when in the same meeting everyone said they're not going to DragonCon because they're worried about the virus. Red Tower is only one month after DragonCon.
Someone (I forget who) said they wanted to arrange a "porch fairies" exchange where you get paired up with someone random (but close to you) and you deliver something homemade to their porch. The only home made thing I have is alcohol, so I'm hoping I can specify to pair me up with someone over the age of 21, but I'd be excited to play porch fairy and also get something from someone in my barony.
We hung up around 9 and I decided not to finish my dailies because I still had to do all but 2 of them for the day and that kind of time just didn't exist for the day. I went into the inn on habitica, and then started writing here. I think I'm going to finish writing here and then go watch the video for my Jewish video chavurah. I also sort of feel like embroidering the outline of my turtle but that may be a little aspirational. I want to get it done this week (which ends tomorrow), but I keep just staring at it. But video!
I'm kind of a mess today. I didn't wake up until 4 so I didn't take my morning meds because it was too close to dinner meds time and I didn't want to cause low blood sugar. But now I haven't taken them, and IDEK. Yesterday dinner consisted of a candy bar and half a bottle or white wine, and I was still sitting right around 100 when I woke up. I guess that's a lot of sugar and not much protein, though, so who knows. Maybe that counts as a meal.
i'm doing pretty well with my writing. I'm already down 130 words per day for my goal to reach my goal for the month. i'm trying not to over achieve because that's stressful, but keeping on top of the goal is fine. GYWO is allowing people to change their yearly goal next month, and i am debating whether I want to do that. On one had, I'm way ahead for the year. On the other hand, I still need to write a pretty large number of words per month to finish on time and probably need July and November big numbers to do it. Maybe I can just start shooting for smaller numbers each month and assume I'll make up for it in November. But then again, if we haven't come out of quarantine by November, I may not write large numbers that month. IDK. I'm only 110k away from my goal and I have 8 months to do that. That means I really only need 14k per month to finish on time. Maybe I just need to change my monthly goals to 14k and be fine with where I am? That seems reasonable.
I just need to lower some stress somewhere and I don't want to give up the art challenge because I think that that is actually lowering stress despite giving me something else to manage each day. I also don't want to give up my lj writing streak. So writing 1000 words per day may be the thing to go, and we'll just focus on trying to get a couple hundred words per day instead.
Now my sewing machine is taunting me. I have to figure out how it works, but that sounds like a project for another day. Also, my thread is missing. I left it on top of the machine when I moved it in here, and it is not there now. I imagine the cat moved it so I might not find it in usable condition.
Atlantia posted their classes for their university event in June. You can't register until May 15th, but I'm looking and deciding what I want to register for. There look to be a lot of good classes. Someone is apparently teaching dance, but I'm not sure how you can teach dance without the ability to form groups. I don't think I'm curious enough to go to it.
