- Saturday I finally sent the cost analysis of our trip to Meg for review so we can get reimbursed by our friends. Did my blogging. Planned out a Letters to an Asexual video and recorded it. Took a walk and read the rest of A Deadly Education, the book Jeaux lent me that he likes. Updated some sites and looked for a solution to get my personality quiz on my website working again because I had to disable the plugin to upgrade my PHP to a more secure version. Website conflicts are a pain. I couldn't find a good plugin for the quiz, so I guess I'll keep looking.
- Sunday I engaged in some procrastination but still got things done. Talked to Meg, did laundry, took out trash, sang karaoke, and made some funny GIFs for my Steven Universe blog that I don't post about here. Watched some reactions. Found an eBay listing for THE ONE COMIC I'M MISSING FROM MY COLLECTION THAT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR SINCE 2019. Put in a bid and hoped for a win at the end of the week. Worked on some Letters of Response at work for a few hours because we needed to not be so slammed on Monday. After finishing the work I put away laundry and watched more reactions.
- Monday we had to send four letters in and I proofread them all. Also had to deal with timesheets and some data to enter. Played DDR after work for the first time in a long time. Got paid by some of my pals for vacation. Did some Polos and went to bed early by accident.
- Tuesday I had to do a bunch of interview-related tasks for a coworker and work on the info packet for our upcoming interview. Also we got selected as part of a team and needed to prepare info for the Prime firm. Yay! Mostly other than that I did my data entry. Did some walking and Polos after work, did dishes, cleaned out my messages, and played on Twitter. Didn't really get anything done except writing a storyboard for So You Write.
- Wednesday I had to work on teaming invitations, data entry, a proposal for Pasco County, updates to existing letters, and gathering upcoming project data. Jeaux was late but we had a good dinner from Vallarta's after grocery shopping. We took a walk, watched Colbert and Heartstopper, and talked about jackass dudes. He didn't find my pen that he misplaced, boo. I did some drawing after he left.
- Thursday I worked on data entry all day except when I edited one letter. Worked on the data until evening when it was game time (8 PM). Found out they indicted Trump and watched news. Played online games with the friends until 10, then played DDR again because that's one way to get fast steps and I was behind because of working so much. Drew the last sketches for So You Write and prepared the comic for posting.
- Friday I had an excellent day, though work was busy--did my upcoming project reports and my meetings and utility stuff for upcoming requirements. And a tree broke in the backyard and made a loud sound crashing into the yard. Very yikes. Hope the neighbors didn't like that fence. Anyway, then I won the auction for the comic on eBay (so as long as it makes it to my house I WILL FINALLY HAVE A COMPLETE COMICS COLLECTION). I heard from two people I don't hear from enough (Kari saying she might come visit me this weekend; John laughing at a video I sent him and catching up briefly). I got my comic finished and got my steps in while reading. AND I found out that the story I sold back in September finally has details of publication available; I'd been worried the project had fallen into a black hole. "Aquarius" will be published in the 18th volume of PRIDE: An Anthology of Diverse Speculative Fiction in October this year. It can be preordered in Kindle format and we'll wait for other options.
- Weight stuff: Stabilizing! Now to hopefully see lower numbers just little by little next week. High weight: 118.9. Low weight: 118.4.
- Nutrition stuff: Starting a tradition of eating spinach every day until my box of it is gone! That manifests as either a smoothie or a salad. Both are great. I've gotten good nutrition this week but the balance has leaned high fat. Still consistently taking the vitamins.
- Activity stuff: I met my walking goal every day this week. My low day was Sunday at 10,018 steps, and my high day was Saturday at 11,708 steps.

Videos Made:
Letters to an Asexual #101 ("Just call it celibacy!") is out! In this video, I share a YouTube comment exchange between me and a person who repeatedly recommended I just call asexuality "what it is: celibacy!" and insisted the word "asexual" was a ploy to feel special. Later, they accused me of getting angry, compared asexual people to Jesus, and flew into a rage at my supposed hypocrisy when I told him a religious messiah figure isn't an appropriate comparison.
