Just Do It Saturday

[silvercat17]

 It's Saturday again, the day we all get the things done that we didn't do during the week! It's also a late Friday check-in, cuz I didn't do it yesterday.

What have you done this week? What are you working on today?

I need to pick up the house, do laundry, and sell on eBay. I spent all yesterday working in the garden and I'm SORE. Probably mostly from moving the three buckets of dirt, one of which was actually mud with half an inch of water on top, algae, and probably mosquito larva. And I'm not done in the garden yet.

I wanted to get the kitchen cleaned last night, but I didn't have the energy. (And by cleaned I mean, empty and load the dishwasher, picked up, and the sinks wiped out)

ALSO - do y'all mind if I roll in the check-ins with the weekly just create sessions? We don't get a ton of responses on either one.

Also, I finished my Twine Game for the Conlang Jam on itch.io

You can play it in your browser. There are sounds for most of the words (nothing autoplays)

re last paragraph: works for me

I should, like, actual adult responsibility things. Chore type stuff. Also I wanna more dick_or_treat but the response the first piece has gotten is disheartening.

... not out of the ordinary, ratio-wise, for stuff I did before this fandom. Rather good, actually, by that standard! Just well below what I've apparently come to expect from this fandom...

Okay, going to strip my bed and sort laundry. Ugh.

[silvercat17]

Laundry sorted. First load in the washer. Went to spread out the rosemary I harvested yesterday to dry and remembered I had meant to wash it first when I saw bugs. So first I had to empty and load the dishwasher and wipe out the sinks. Rosemary is draining a bit more before I lay it out.

I definitely have more energy than I have. I think the Welbutrin is starting to work. :)

Gonna go outside for a few minutes and then pick up the living room and office (I had Mom leave out the ironing board, never used it, and don't think I'll use it today).

Maybe I'll have energy to put away me clean clothes from, um, quite a while ago.

Third load is in the washer. The public rooms are all picked up, although I need to wash dishes and have a pile of papers & pill bottles on the dining room table to take care of.

I don't *wanna* be responsible any more. :(

[silvercat17]

Fourth load in the washer. I'm going to try to get some stuff up on eBay, ugh

[silvercat17]

Nope. I think I'm done for the day. My brain is done.

After a bunch of tidying up/giving away/recycling stuff I can see the storeroom's floor again.

[silvercat17]

Woo! Good job!

[juzo_kun]

Thank you! :)

I learned how to knit this week! I have several inches of scarf, a testament to the length of my bus commute every day, but the motion is so soothing and I love feeling like I'm making something. (It's nice to feel creative on something that doesn't require a fickle muse like writing.)

Today I cleaned and tidied my room and am in the middle of my second load of laundry, and it feels so good to have my stuff straightened up!

[silvercat17]

Yay for new hobbies!

[althea_valara]

Congrats on learning to knit! If you keep up with it, I suggest joining Ravelry - it's a website for knitters and crocheters that boasts a huge database of patterns. It's awesome, and is probably the reason I stuck with the crafts myself rather than give up.

[roselightfairy]

Oh, thank you for the recommendation! I'm still a little intimidated about talking to other people who "actually" knit; all I know is the one stitch and how to make it row after row. I'd really like to learn more, but I'm sticking with easy things for now so that I don't lose patience with myself before I've had time to practice. :) (I honestly hardly know what a knitting pattern is.) But I will have to look into it!

[silvercat17]

My mom has been learning how to knit off and on for a while. All the knitters she's met all seem to be really nice and willing to help.

Nothing wrong with going at your own pace!

I woke up at a decent time this morning and intended to get some knitting done, as we're hearing the end of the month which means the current round in my crafting competition is almost over and I've got to finish stuff so I can submit it. My mom had other ideas, though--my nephew is at a robotics competition this weekend and she wanted to watch the stream.

That took all morning, and then after lunch I played video games. I'm finally just now sitting down to knit. I estimate I have three to four hours left to go on this project, and am hoping to finish today.

[silvercat17]

It's annoying how easily time disappears, isn't it?

I spent the entire day yesterday in my booth at the Albuquerque Ren Faire, but I got a LOT done today, which is nice! Good to see people checking in!

[silvercat17]

Nice! How's the weather in NM right now? I went to the big RenFaire in Arizona once and nearly died from heat.

[kellan_the_tabby]

78F was the high in Albuquerque yesterday. Tomorrow in Thoreau it's forecast to be 64F. I reeeeally prefer living at high altitudes & the cooth is a LOT of the reason why.

... on the other hand I didn't make the same show, same weekend, two years ago, because I woke up to a foot of snow in my driveway, so. There's that.
