Personal Digest Saturday: April 30 – May 6

Life news this week: 

• Saturday Mom had stayed over, and she helped me with a trip to Michaels to get a bulletin board and then we chatted to my sister on the phone. Later I made a quiche and we ate some, and then did Skype with my sister later so we could see my nephew. What a cutie. I did a drawing for a birthday card and hung out with Mom.
  
• Sunday we ate quiche again and Mom helped me do my redecorations for May Day. She left earlier than I thought she would. I paid my bills and took a nap. Then just worked on some book edits.
  
• Monday I had to come in early to make sure some important paperwork was turned in on time. And at night a package I'd ordered containing some fun stuff--including Steven Universe dog tags--had arrived in my mailbox so Jeaux came over to watch me open it. Haha. There are 24 designs and you don't know which you'll get when you buy it, so I was hoping for not too many duplicates, but out of the 10 I got 6 that weren't duplicates. Of course, it's hard to be disappointed when most of the duplicates were my favorite character. :]
  
• Tuesday Mom didn't come over so I spent the evening reading and writing a comic book review.
  
• Wednesday was a rainy Jeaux Day. We ate at Burger 21 and waited for the rain to stop, and it did. So then we biked to the comic book store where I got the new Steven Universe comic and an Invader Zim comic. Then we came back and listened to Night Vale and shared funny Internet things. After he left I reviewed the comic I read. Next week Jeaux Day will be on Thursday because we want to watch cartoons together! I'm going to melt.
  
• Thursday was uneventful mostly. I read a bunch of a book but didn't finish it, STILL.
  
• Friday I had to work early to finish something for a co-worker. Maintenance workers were making loud noises doing something to our building, and at one point it sounded like music! I didn't really do anything in the evening except draw my comic. I had a lot to do because I didn't do any of it earlier in the week, so it was close to deadline. :X
