Oct. 24th, 2022 01:51 pm The rich text editor is back! Now I know to enjoy it while I can.
I'm still getting the hand of Wednesdays--14+ hours away from the house after all the pandemic isolation is heady, but also deeply exhausting. I do feel absurdly metropolitan parking and walking a couple of blocks to the office, and being able to wander around downtown over my lunch break if I choose. I've only done two Wednesdays at the office so far, and they've both kicked my ass. I'm hoping that it will get easier as I get used to being out and around other humans that much again. (I mean, it's still going to be a really long day--work+choir before beginning the 45 minute drive home is just A Lot--but there is definitely bonus Introvert Exhaustion going on.)
Training is keeping my busy for work. Most days by the time we're done my brain either a pile of mush, or well on its way there. It's not exactly conducive to writing, alas--thus the radio silence here. I thought very briefly about trying to do NaNoWriMo this year, but there's just no way.
Casper went to the vet today for vaccinations, and he's doubled in weight over the past 6 months! It's hard to believe when he's busy making himself into a neat little loaf, but much easier when he's stretched out all the way across the back of my recliner. I expect Zefira will have manifested a similar miracle when she next goes in, but her body and head are shaped in such a way that she just never had quite the same Smol Bean Energy that Casper had.
Mood-wise, things have been holding pretty steady, so... that's cool, I guess? It would be nice to have a slightly higher baseline, but the same baseline for cheaper is fine. I did have a pretty rough day yesterday, the result of going out and being among people when I should have stayed home and rested. My left shoulder has been giving me a lot of grief over the past few days, plus nightmares every night, and I just hadn't gotten enough good sleep to go out and be somewhere very busy and overwhelming... except I was the only first soprano, and Peter was the only tenor. So we hauled our sad little carcasses down to the church, and the moment 3 people starting talking to me at once I hit a wall. Oops.
Anyway, I passed out sometime after 10 last night, with a brief interlude of awareness after Peter found me and woke me up to take my meds and brush my teeth, and then slept through until about 6:30. That's pretty decent compared to the last week, and I'm feeling better in the brain regions today. To make up for it, I've had a dry cough off and on all day so far. I'm going to blame the change in the weather, drink a boatload of tea, and hope for another good night's sleep tonight.
