  1. The tent caterpillar pest control people can be here as early as Monday.
  2. I had a plumber in to do a quote for some work and he seems really good. His office notified me that he’d be late due to an urgent job, so that’s nicer than the common approach of just not turning up.
  3. I’ve finished Ted Chiang’s “Exhalation” and loved all of it. The story notes at the end were interesting.

  1. Ahaha my smart water bottle’s app has definitely got me drinking more because it has trophies.
  2. Alys took care of the latest issue with a persistent issue on a site we both volunteer for, so I did not have to get out of bed and do it, and the relief of that was very great since I was so not done with my weighted blanket for the day yet.
  3. Slowly I’m learning how to style my hair like this and today it looks good.
  4. I’ve picked up some of the “curly girl” (ugh) methods for looking after hair and despite thinking it sounded like a lot of fuss… it actually feels really nice to feel like I’m taking care of my hair instead of washing it because I have to. It feels really soft, too, and the hair mask I used today smelled delicious. So does my new dragonfruit conditioner!

  1. A local shop has a stash of small empty boxes you can take and I have several now for organising our emergency stash of food (put each purchase in its own box, pull the older boxes forward, put the new box at the back).
  2. There are blue-faced honeyeaters in our garden.
  3. A pleasant walk with Jeremy last night.

  1. Played some Civ again after many many months
  2. Civ reminded me of how having long-term goals (run over the Babylonians with my army) can turn repititive, mundane tasks (build orders, moving units around) into an addictive experience
  3. Managed to have a decent writing session yesterday

  1. Lisa completed a tricky operation on my childhood teddy, and all is now well.
  2. Email zero and inbox zero already today!
  3. I’ve been setting out three tasks per day which are steps toward having control of things, and it’s really helping. Lisa is doing it too, so we’re both getting a good sense of progress.

  1. Rewatching Lucifer: I’m up to one of my favourite episodes, which has voiceovers from God.
  2. A two-day job to set up a client-to-client VPN ended in success (they’re always painful, so sensitive to small differences at each end).
  3. The comforting sound of the scrub turkey tap-tap-tapping on the plate of abandoned cat food when she hasn’t been around for a couple of days.

  1. The laundry is nearly all done.
  2. Cook Serve Delicious 3 makes for a lovely break between tasks and requires one to be rather awake, so it’s cleared my sluggish brain today!
  3. A friend of mine who has been in hospital has safely returned home.
