Things are still hectic. I'm regretting filling my head with "Cruel Summer", because now it won't stop playing. Murderbot was surprisingly great (thanks to [personal profile] petra's post for prompting me to watch). Real update and comment replies (and diving back into the Guardian readalong) tomorrow.

this feels like a metaphor for something

  • Cycling home on a bike with poor suspension, with eggs in the pannier, mindful of every single bump. (Success!)
  • Andrew, over lunch: Nom de plume? That must be when a cat's eating a feather.
  • Absolutely did not stay up too late a few nights ago listening to successive covers of "Cruel Summer".
  • Or last night editing a fic.
  • I feel a little like I've been hit over the head with a cartoon saucepan and there's a hollow ringing sound where my brain should be.
  • Writing is going okay! As indicated, I'm in the editing stage (and terribly behind on everything else).
