> [@aleix](#): > > Oh John Scalzi is so good, have you read his short story compilation “Miniatures”? The funniest sci-fi I’ve ever read. Yep! I’ve read quite a few of his books. I just devoured _Head On_ in the last two days, as well, which was a first-time read for me. Love that world. ---

1. Jam Sessions. 2. Couchsurfing and its other “less evil” alternatives. 3. The “[everyday](https://everyday.app/)” routine tracking app ---

1. Yesterday on my one day a week in the office I had lunch with a coworker. 2. After that, I was alone in the office for the rest of the day. Glorious solitude! My coworkers are great but I love time by myself too. 3. Sliced banana on wheatbix for breakfast. ---

1. Using [a neat app](https://bearable.app/) to track some health stuff and give me reminders about my meds. 2. Surprise package from a friend! 3. My preorder of a book arrived on the release day! Portal Bookshop killing it, as ever. 💙 ---

1. Umbrella Academy season 2 was excellent all the way through! 2. A walk and supermarket shopping trip with Jeremy. 3. I’m slowly gettting a huge pile of junk under our house sorted out by doing just one tiny improvement each day. There’s such power in that method. It already looks much better and I don’t feel like I’ve spent any unpleasant effort on it. ---

1. The [Foxes in Love](https://twitter.com/foxes_in_love) comics. 2. Our vet is lovely, even when our bunnies misbehave while getting their shots. 3. I’ve slept a little extra the last couple of mornings and it is very nice. ---

> [@alys](#): > > Umbrella Academy season 2 was excellent all the way through! Ha, I’ve just started watching it! 1. Boards. I’ve started to use one to brainstorm and write down ideas and plans. I have the feeling that writing something down physically instead of on the computer makes you think different. Btw any ideas/research/posts on this? 2. The beautifully painful ending of “Life of Pi” (the book) 3. Silence. ---

1. Peanut paste on celery. 2. Axios’s political correspondent, Jonathan Swan. He’s Australian you know. So proud. 🙂 3. Yesterday was windy and rainy, my favourite weather when I’m able to be indoors on the couch all day. ---

1. Ordered a new set of writing paper… or three. 😃 2. Getting my hair cut next week. 3. My face is kinda bruised but I don’t think Eclair managed to bust anything too drastically in his flying leap at me. 😂 (He got upset and wanted a cuddle, but leapt at me with too much enthusiasm, hitting me smack in my face.) ---

1. I don’t even seem to have a visible bruise from the events described in #3 yesterday! 2. Four-starred a stubborn level of Overcooked 2 by doing co-op with Lisa. HAH. 3. Had the energy to clean the bathroom properly. ---

1. When I’m sitting on the couch our cat has this cute thing where she climbs from the back of the couch over my shoulder and down my chest to sit in my lap, using me as a ladder. It’s adorable. 2. Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey for making websites behave the way they should. A site I use often has a new T&C checkbox on the login form. Ticking it EVERY TIME was SO TEDIOUS. Tampermonkey has rescued me from that. 🙂 3. [Taskwarrior](https://taskwarrior.org/), an immensely customisable Unix command-line to do list. You can write scripts to adjust its behaviour so I’m in heaven with it, and occasionally even do tasks I’ve listed in it. ---

1. The [Lucifer (TV series)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucifer_(TV_series)) which I’m watching for the second or third time while I do housework. It’s so much fun. 2. The [Lucifer graphic novel series](https://www.dccomics.com/characters/lucifer) by Mike Carey, which was intriguing, captivating, and downright awesome. 3. Today I have significant anxiety about a work task that I have to get done but I made myself do my morning routine first because I know that’s the best way to make sure the whole day goes well. Now I can start work without other things that have to get done hanging over my head. ---

1. Woke up at my normal time, ish, so yay! My sleep cycle is getting back to normal. 2. Kerry Greenwood’s Phryne Fisher books are always fun, even now I’ve read them a couple of times each. 3. I will probably get new stamps today, so I can send off a new batch of [Postcrossing](https://www.postcrossing.com/) postcards. ---

1. Qumu’s video game music covers. Oh, the nostalgia. 2. The cool jazz band I saw during weekend, who randomly let me play bass on-stage with them. Unexpected live playing is the best! 3. Coffee \<3 (in moderation) ---

1. On my most recent walk I found a grove of trees with dense leaf coverage, making a secluded, peaceful space. Someone has put a bench in it. 2. Steak for dinner. 3. Yoghurt for breakfast. ---

1. I’ve started playing Skyrim and some of my friends are very enthusiastically teaching me how things work. 😃 2. I’ve been waking up on time and getting work done on time and it feels magical for the rest of my day. 3. It’s still worrying that the bunnies are way too warm, but it’s funny watching them be hilariously confused by and distrustful of ice packs. ---

1. Extra working hours. 2. Dad doing our garden and bringing us geraniums from my parents’ garden to plant out in ours. 3. We have an awesome vet and I know that if we have to call them today because Hulk’s being weird, they’ll fit us in or send us to their emergency centre.
