Personal Digest Saturday (but posted on Sunday!): October 24 – October 30

Life news this week:

• Saturday I got some walking in and finally got to watch Hamilton with Victor long-distance. He really enjoyed it and kept saying "this is so good!" Also got my blogging done early. Made some videos for my sister and unboxed some packages for her. Then I did my podcast with Daria and we watched "Say Uncle," and then I interviewed her for the ace interviews series! Great day!
  
  
• Sunday I got up super late. Got walking in, got laundry done, worked on a transcript for Cat's video and listened to the new Steven Universe Future soundtrack that just got released. (I wrote up a review.) Updated some apps and posted some recipe stuff. I wrote a song about poop to put in a video for my nephew.
  
  
• Monday I had a couple work meetings and had to work on various proposals--one for a county and one for a city. Had to play around with timeheets and resumes too. I made my Poop School video for my nephew but didn't get to finish processing it because I was playing games with my friends online. We kept getting kicked out though, but we still had fun.
  
  
• Tuesday I got my sink fixed in the morning. Worked on some data entry at work, did some transcript stuff, and did some walking. Then I got dressed up a little so I could do a fun livestream for my asexual week event. It was a live event that went on for three hours and I talked about books and then other random stuff from the live chatters who kept sending in messages. After it was over I made my bed with freshly washed sheets and went to bed early.
  
  
• Wednesday I mostly worked on data entry stuff and then I did a four-mile bike ride to a radiology place. Made a new friend in the waiting room. :D Then another four miles back. I was wiped out and had to take a shower. Jeaux came over and we got gas and groceries, and we ate burritos while watching Colbert and Umbrella Academy.
  
  
• Thursday I was busy with a proposal and data entry. I got all my roads entered except one. Did some more walking and stayed late to finish. I worked on my comic while talking to Victor as well and then fell asleep early.
  
  
• Friday was an early day to finish our proposal. We got it turned in without much drama. Then I knocked out the rest of the data entry project and I'm done with that too. Did more walks and finished Negative One. Started rereading one of my unfinished books. I think I used to be a better writer than I am now.

Interviews, Articles, Mentions:

• In Angela Chen's interview with Reading Women Podcast, my book is recommended as a resource.
  
• Tumblr user extra-magichours made a post about loving my book.

New Reviews of My Book:

• Chris White gave it a five-star review on Goodreads.
  
• Morgan gave it a four-star review on Goodreads.
  
• Delfina gave it a four-star review on Audible (in Spanish).

Food Plan Update:

• Going well but I keep undereating because I'm busy. It's not making any difference in whether or how fast I'm losing weight either, and I really need to do better about not letting it get too long between meals. I'm also recognizing the need to do better with my hydration. I gotta drink more water. I'll share some stats on exercise and whatnot next time.

Reading progress:

• Finished Reading: Nothing this week.

• Currently reading: Asexual Erotics by Ela Przybylo. I'm on page 95.

New singing performances:

This week's karaoke song is "All the Things She Said" by t.A.T.u. I realized when I tried to sing it that I'm more familiar with this song in Russian than in English.



Stuff Drawn:

Webcomic Negative One Issue 0807: "What Love Does."






New videos: 

My three-hour Ace Week Livestream may be a bit much for some people but we talk about ace literature and then I do discussion and Q&A from the chat.

New photos:

New canvases from SU!

Blue eyeliner experiment.
