Life news this week:
- Saturday Jeaux picked me up and took me with him to do a work thing and then we ate at Vallarta's. Then we came back to my place and played a video game he wanted to play but needs a partner for. It's called Split Fiction. It was pretty hard for me to play but he was patient. After he left I recorded some Polos for my friends and did my blogging.
- Sunday I woke up thinking it was Monday. Glad to have another weekend day! I planned a video and did my aerobics early, and then talked to my friend Sarah on the phone while doing laundry and trash chores. Then I recorded my planned video, reread some of my book, and listened to the full episode of a feature-length humorous science fiction audio piece that I had a nice long scene in. Check it out if you want to hear me as the voice of a quantum computer. Then my friend Kari came over and we caught up and watched Bojack Horseman. After she left I read and put away laundry and got the rest of my steps.
- Monday I thought I would be buried in proposal stuff but it didn't happen. I had to work on a letter. Later I watched a show called The Residence that my friend Sarah said she wanted me to watch. Also read some of a book, processed my new video, and did a BUNCH of writing on the new project.
- Tuesday work involved some false starts--we couldn't complete a proposal and the new timesheet tracking system my boss was trying to get started was not working right. We had some meetings and I did data entry, and found out we did not win the project I had to go to the interview for a couple weeks back. I took a nap after work, watched more of The Residence, walked, exercised, and read over my story. Also submitted a short story and got shortlisted on a voice-over job.
- Wednesday there were two more meetings and I did some utility stuff and some data entry. I wrote my storyboard for my So You Write comic, sent out a query, and did some walking, reading, sending Polos, and dishes. Then I went to Burger 21 with Jeaux, shopping at the grocery store and drugstore, and shared silly stuff with each other. I sketched out the writing comic and posted my new video. And the shortlisting for the voice-over job got upgraded to a selection. I have a new role! (And it's a significant part.)
- Thursday I got started bright and early knocking out the last of my data entry, and also did project research. After work I wrote my Negative One storyboard and finished coloring So You Write. I watched more of The Residence while walking, did aerobics, sent out another short story, and went to game night with my friends. I finished all my Negative One drawings and relaxed with word games.
- Friday I did reports, a transcript, cleanup data entry, and utility stuff at work. Then after, I processed my webcomic, took a nap, packed my bag and planned my outfit for Metrocon, and did a bunch of reading. I did a bunch of active brainstorming for my story but I didn't write anything new. Worked on blogging stuff so there wouldn't be as much to catch up on on Saturday.
Interviews, Articles, Mentions:
- Nick Carlson Press made a video about Gloria Tesch (yes, in 2026!) and referenced some of my old contributions a video I made about why this author and her family were harmful and dishonest. I get called "pretty funny" in it. Score!
New Reviews:
- Victoria Frost 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 I only met my protein goals 3 out of 7 days. I paid a little more attention to trying to get the right amount of protein this week but I failed. (That said, two of the other days I was just under my goal.) 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 Tuesday at 10,086 steps, and my high day was Saturday at 10,482 steps.
