verylongfarewell | 5 | time gone by

Very busy weekend, even on the days when we've actually not been doing much (like today).

Friday evening, after we had cleaned the whole apartment, K's friend dropped by to watch the final of Andor with K. and they had a good time, it sounded like. I stayed mostly in the office, writing, because I was on total overload after the stress of cleaning - and because I had a friend coming over Saturday morning that I needed to be ready and not too tired for.

That visit went well, too, and energized me a lot, so when my friend had left, I sat down and wrote a piece of fiction, the beginnings of my exploration of my MC, Inu, in the project Adazakura. I already have an idea for the next fic, which will be a piece of epistolary. I have the main red thread I want to use, and the rest I guess will have to come when I start writing it. I had planned to do so today, but I haven't been able to concentrate, so no do.

Unless it suddenly comes in a spurt tonight. One can never know with me.

I'm almost out of lithium, so I have to ask K. tonight if she can pick a new batch up tomorrow on her way home from work. It's such a hassle that I can't go myself, but that's just how it is. And while I should have been more on top of when I would run out of it, at least I notice before I'll be out of it entirely tomorrow night. I just hope I don't fuck her plans up too much as a result.

She is busy writing an article these days, about community in schools and how destructive exclusion is and how this relates to minority stress. I'm so proud of her for doing such an extensive effort to have this finished and I just love listening to her rant to me about the things she finds out. I hope this is an aspect of her that will never die, this animatedness. I truly love it.

I think, if it turns out I can't write tonight, I'll rewatch Pale Dawn and take some caps to work on for the new Tumblr blog I've made for my Adazakura project. Hopefully I can post to it about Basho's haiku and Yamamoto's novel, Sabu, later when those books are ready to be picked up, but for now I just want to fill it up with Pale Dawn stuff.

Or I'll do some sprints in the writing Discord I'm part of, just to try and get started. We'll see.
