Done Since 2024-02-18

Well, last week was Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week, and I... didn't write anything about it. Combination of lack of planning, lazy, busy, and distracted, I think. I think maybe if I'd made a to-do entry I would have; apparently a to-do file only works if you use it. Duh. Never too late to write something, though. Maybe this week.

I may need to start putting dates on "when I get around to it" to-do items when I create them. It would make me feel bad to look at them, though, so maybe I'd be less likely to work on them. That's what happened the last time.

I did get a few items set in motion, if not taken care of, thanks to N's "personal assistant as a service" company. (Yohana. It's useful, but rather expensive; she's taking advantage of a six-month introductory price. Which is just about how long we'll need it.)

A lot of my attention (not to be confused with time spent actually doing things) this week was taken up by two up-and-back trips to the Whidbey house. The first, Tuesday, was to meet the junk haulers for their second trip. That's when they took the big pile of e-waste, among other things. The second, yesterday, was to load Molly up with the stuff I hadn't had the time, space, and spoons to take down to Seattle on Tuesday. There was a disturbingly large amount of it; that was partly because most of Tuesday's load was stuff going to storage (on the way) or stuff that k wanted taken down to Seattle.

Another large chunk of my attention was focused on the Lair: setting up (file server)Nova (which also included setting up a monitor), finding places for the other things coming down from the island, and Bronx-proofing the counter. Bronx stayed with me overnight Thursday to Friday. Because he is an Up cat, he spent most of the night sleeping on my suitcase, which I keep on the top shelf. I knew it was going to work when I saw Ticia come out from her hiding place to bump noses with nim. Bronx is extremely boopable.

I had very vivid dreams most nights, and managed to remember a couple of them long enough to write down. That's unusual. Ticia was in one of them, and Colleen was in the other.
