Recover, re-enter

flexagonJust a week of re-entering "real life" after the more intense events of the (access-list-only) last post. Partly because I flung myself into helping a friend find an apartment, it took a few days just to work through post-Montana to-dos; it's all done now, including several hours and some performative unhappiness to get reimbursed by Alaska Airlines for their dumbfuckery. Which I did.
It does feel like recovering from something. Jet lag, ghost attack, a mild cold? The trip apparently has been fodder for other people's therapy sessions in the meantime, so that's made for interesting discussions. I've mostly just been sleeping a lot, and haven't really re-hit my stride on most athletic stuff. However, it's grounding to have now been back for a whole week, seen my friends, and had all my usual weekly stuff happen once including, ahem, dates. My dad finally emailed me; nothing about the trip, just about the Iran war; so that kind of stings, and it's also kind of nice to be back to normal there. I've ordered new sneakers to replace a pair that died on the way home, and a couple of small fitness things, including a "butt ball" which is basically a spherical foam roller.
Attempting some upkeep of my own home -- I took everything out of one bathroom vanity, with the intent of swapping out a faucet, and ended up buying two new sink drains instead. Stand back, I think we're going to try some plumbing.
Birdie and I also made a list of things to do together this summer.
I suppose it would be remiss not to mention Beat Saber? I'm playing through the campaign now and it's teaching me things. I beat my first-ever level on Expert.heisenbug has been creating his first level in a level-editing program, which is objectively even cooler.
