Done Since 2025-02-02

So this week I thought to look up "anxiety chills" (and related topics - I have no way to tell whether it would be better to call it "tension", nor whether it matters). Turns out they're a thing, which explains why I've felt cold almost every evening since November, despite the house thermostat being set to 21.5. (Tt does not explain whether this is due to being in here in NL or to the ongoing coup in the US, but I'm guessing mostly the latter. Although not having my health insurance settled yet has got to be contributing something.)

I finally got around to updating the HyperSpace Express website -- the last edits were in 2018, and a lot of water's gone under the bridge since then. No new products, though -- Coffee, Computers, and Song! was released in 2007. And I finished getting the Colleen's Closet site up. Both need a lot more work to make them more attractive and more useful (which of course requires being able to list products, and sell them, though that detail may be handled by linking out to a site like Bandcamp or Etsy, especially at first).

We had a couple of good practice sessions, some of which paid off when N and m were in the open filking last night at Contabile 35. It's in Norwich, so of course one of the things they sang was "Bells of Norwich". I also dropped in on Eurofilk, the local zoomcon, but only sang one song.

I always have trouble thinking of what to sing. This time I asked for a suggestion, and got WItC. I really have more songs than I can usually think of singing. Which is a little weird. I'm not sure my brain's been working all that well lately. (And I know my hearing isn't -- it's hereditary and progressive, currently cutting off somewhere between 5 and 6kHz. Last night I didn't hear the microwave's chime when I was standing right next to it.)

Aside from that not much is happening. My list of "things I'm still looking for after the move" is shortening somewhat, after having pawed through a couple more boxes. That includes my collection of fountain pens (which I hardly ever use, but still...).
