Life news this week:
- Saturday I had a mostly chill day--worked on my blog, redecorated for the new season, did my DDR, and completed some digital errands. I got a chance to work on my book and review some voice-over lines I have due soon as well.
- Saturday was the beginning of a busy week! I got a lot done--went to the post office before coffee to mail an eBay package, threw in laundry, and worked on my promo materials that were requested by the director of a project I'm doing voice acting on. I also worked on my book, finished my blogging, did some reading, did the dishes, made a new video for my ace channel, and processed it/posted it.
- Sunday I got picked up by Arthur to go out for Indian food. We had some delay in picking up Yasmin so we got coffee first. Then we picked them up and had great food at the Indian buffet (including dessert!) and then went on to the garden show, which had an installation that Yasmin made. We saw their piece and all the other awesome pieces themed after games, and we bought some plants in the plant sale part. Then Arthur took me home and I hung out with Kari--she brought cheese sticks! Yum! After she left I worked on my book just a little but I was tired.
- Monday was a flurry of teaming coordination and project research at work. Also attended a meeting where no one could hear me. Later I took a nap and went to a Queer Book Club where I was a guest because the club had chosen my book as the book club book. My friend Dare was there and some other people! It was a chill time and fun to discuss with them. Afterwards I did laundry and planned/sketched my next So You Write comic, and got in some walking, some reading, and a Polo for Meghan.
- Tuesday I did a bunch of project research again. I talked to Tony outside when he came to do my lawn. I finished So You Write and posted it. Got started on walking kinda late. Did a new aerobics video that I didn't like. Sent a Polo to my sister. Updated my calendars for my monthly goals post. Received my voice-over pickups for the project I'm on. Dealt with some chatty people commenting on one of my posts.
- Wednesday I worked--did some project research and data entry. Re-read some old stuff and ended up getting depressed about it. After work I prepared my calendars for the update and made my post, sent a Polo to Meg, walked around the neighborhood, read a book, paid my taxes, sent a query, and updated my collections pages. And I did my pickups and sent them in for the voice-over project.
- Thursday was a weird day. I went to an early meeting, had breakfast, and went to another meeting. Then I played DDR, wrote my comic, and went shopping with Jeaux. We packed up to go to Sarasota to watch my dad play trumpet in a music show but it got rained out so we turned around and ate dinner closer to home. We ate at BurgerFi which turned out not so great but we survived. Then we just went back to my house and read each other silly things, and after he left I submitted a short story.
- Friday was a busy and exhausting day. I got up early to go to the podiatrist and she said maybe I had a stress fracture and recommended a medicine for it. I walked to the drugstore to get it and then walked to the post office to pick up a package. I got home, went to work for a while, and then had lunch with my dad and Connie at an Indian restaurant because it was my dad's birthday! YAY! Our food was good and I gave Dad his birthday presents too. After lunch I went back to work and wrapped up my project reports, took a nap, scrambled to get my comic done and posted, recorded a Polo for Meg, and got my walking in.
New Reviews:
- Myra gave The Invisible Orientation a four-star review on Goodreads.
Health Plan Update:
- Nutrition stuff: I got my three servings of fruits and veggies every day this week, and met my protein goals five out of seven days (I had THREE restaurant days and just didn't end up with enough protein to balance out the carbs and fats on two of the days). I am still taking my vitamins.
- Activity stuff: I'm continuing to do DDR or aerobics every other day. I made my 10,000-step walking goal every day this week. Based on my phone's app, my low day was Wednesday at 10,182 steps, and my high day was Thursday at 11,992 steps.
Books Read:
- Finished Reading: Nothing this week.

Videos Made:
Letters to an Asexual #135 (Asexuality and Vegetarianism??) is out. In this video, someone asks why people tend to have such a negative reaction to asexuality, and after a discussion of perceived moral superiority and restraint, another commenter compares that reaction to how some people interpret vegetarians. A discussion ensues.
