Life news this week:
- Saturday I was awakened by proselytizing weirdos so that wasn't fun. My toe was still bandaged so I was limping around until I did my first soaking treatment and took the original dressing off. I had a lot of pain overnight but once the bandage was off I was happier. I did my blogging in the early part of the day and then wrote my comic so I'd have something to do during table read down time. (Glad I did that, because there was in fact a lot of down time.) The table read did involve some random chatting with the other actors before reading through the first episode's script. I really only had involvement at the beginning so a lot of it was just listening to the rest of the plot. After the meeting I played DDR even though I had just gotten my toenail taken off the day before. I did my second foot bath after a shower and am feeling much better. I stayed up late working on my book and playing ukulele.
- Sunday I did some relaxing and working on my short story edit and sent it to a critique partner friend. Did my laundry and trash chores. I was limping a little less by this point. Practiced ukulele, sent a Polo to Steve, and sent some queries. Found out someone in my sister's social circle passed away after a long cancer battle and it made me really sad. Right before bed I tripped getting ready for bed and fell down. (My toe is still bandaged and I had trouble changing my pants and I lost my balance.) I escaped a really bad injury super narrowly and am feeling very fortunate to be okay.
- Monday was busy at work with three meetings and a lot of project research and teaming coordination. After work I worked on my novel, practiced ukulele, did an aerobics video, and planned a video. Did a karaoke recording and some Polos. Saw Birdle! Talked about fatphobia on Tumblr.
- Tuesday I paid all my bills and slept late. Went to a work meeting and prepared a meeting agenda for my utility meeting. Practiced ukulele. Did dishes. Got featured on the front page of SingSnap for some reason. (Whenever that happens it seems like it's never for one of my best performances.) Chatted on the Discord with other voice actors. Wrote more of my book. Submitted some short stories, including a short story that's never been sent out before. Made a new asexuality video and did some reading.
- Wednesday I slept in again. Work was less eventful but I got some updates done. I drew my writing comic, played DDR, chatted on Discord, and practiced ukulele. Jeaux picked me up and we ate at IHOP. I got Impossible sausage there and it was good! After grocery shopping, we talked about silly internet stuff and after he left I practiced my uke more.
- Thursday I had to get up early to host my utility meeting. It is one of the things I dislike most about my job, the one big utility meeting I have to do for every project, and this was it, but it wasn't too bad and I spent the rest of the day coordinating with others, updating my meeting minutes, and doing research. I talked to Tony outside, played ukulele, and printed out my tax forms. I went to my game night and played with friends while coloring So You Write. After work I finished reading a book and submitted two queries.
- Friday I went to the tax guy before work. He did my taxes and I found out what I owe. Boo. I went to work and got my reports done by the end of the day. Then there was another table read I was supposed to go to but it seems like the whole thing is pretty disorganized and the creator had to cancel. I still got to chat with a couple other actors again and it was nice getting to know them. We all have a lot in common (even though I'm, like, a LOT older than them). I finished drawing my webcomic, posted it, got my aerobics video in, and played my ukulele again. I'm happy that I've relearned all the Steven Universe songs through the end of the original series again.

Interviews, Articles, Mentions:
- My book was added as a resource to General Ace Resources at asexuality sf.
Health Plan Update:
- Weight stuff: Another small victory, I guess--there's a little more stability going on and my low is lower. I recorded a high of 115.8 and a low of 114.4.
- Nutrition stuff: Veggies and fruits were nicely distributed this week, and I feel like I did very well even on eating-out day. Looking at the app-generated balance, I had four high-protein/low-fat/on-target carb days, one high-protein/low-fat/low-carb day, one high-protein/low-fat/high-carb day, and one high-protein, high-fat, low-carb day (the restaurant day). I am still regularly taking vitamins.
- Activity stuff: I'm continuing to play my dance game twice a week and doing an exercise video with weights twice a week (so far). I was not interrupted by the toe procedure. And I met my walking goal every day this week. My low day was Tuesday at 10,016 steps, and my high day was Wednesday at 14,644 steps.
