flexagon | Less malaise-y though not with a lot of direction (Reply)

Sometimes it's hard to remember a whole week at a time. This last week some of the malaise lifted, though.

Weird little political victory on Monday night as California Senate Bill 403 passed the Assembly, moving the state along toward outlawing discrimination based on caste. I've never helped to pass a state bill before! This is still just a (very useful) stepping stone to what I'm really after, which is getting caste added to the Code of Conduct of my mega-corporation. Still, progress.

Extra squirrel-time this last week, because various squirrel family members were off on a trip and so it was in need of some extra snuggles. The bug and I helped it to move some couches; and we finished watching Devs; and we started a new super-adorable co-op platformer, Unravel Two. It's fun to have a game going again.

The poking forward of personal projects bore some more random fruit. I got my Halloween gown in the mail and confirmed that it fits and is going to be fire, and am working on scheduling a consultation at a tattoo place that might ink me, and my Costa Rica travel is planned, and I'm pretty much done poking around with electronics repair (a fail, in the end, but I learned some things and own several new mini-screwdrivers). I even got back to reading the textbook that I'm book-clubbing with the bug and, on Sunday, finished a book that was a dense read.

Hypercube is stable and has been purring more, coming to hang out with me while I stretch etc. Although she doesn't want to keep her new antibiotic down, well, I'll take the purring.

One nice handstand, on Wednesday -- the coach had me kick up and hold, and I did, and after 60 seconds he told me to come down and I did.

I'm not caught up on work, and indeed I blew off a lot of promised work on Friday because I was ultra-sleepy (and didn't realize until later that it was probably the Benadryl). Nor am I feeling inclined to pick up a lot of new personal projects. I'd rather things just be sustainable for a while. I've got an October thing (okay, it's Halloween), a November thing (Costa Rica) and a December thing (okay, it's Xmas/NYE)... that seems like more than enough to round out the year.
