I took a nap today. It was a pretty good nap, but the fact that I can’t tell you a single other thing that I did today is kind of alarming.
What did you do today?

My entire life philosophy right now
I am disgusted by absolutely everything right now, and I cannot. Hopefully I’ll be in a better frame of mind tomorrow. We’ll see.
In which I cannot die
I am so far behind that it has made me immortal. I am aware that I have promised a review of Black Shield Maiden that so far has not been written, and I really want to do a write-up of the Michigan Renaissance Festival (Spoilers: hot, lots of fun) but after the three-hour drive home this morning I took a nap and then spent several hours working on lesson plans and grading and now I desperately need some video game/wall-staring time. I’ll write something involving actual paragraphs tomorrow, I swear I will.
In which we have a winner
… by a landslide, I will be wearing the cowl to the Renfaire this weekend. It got twice as many votes as second place (the hat) here and was the overwhelming favorite on the Discord I posted the question to as well. So that’s settled.
In which being sick has its advantages
Two facts, both of which are true: First, I have lost eight pounds since September 6th, which I recognize is neither healthy nor, most likely, sustainable, but it’s still super fun, and second, this is the first time my weight has been under 300 pounds in at least three years and very likely more like four or five. It’s just that I’ve only had the electronic scale since April of 2021.
Some of that is gonna come back. Hopefully I’ll stay under 300, though. I’ve come super close a couple of times and it was a hell of a relief to break that barrier even if it took several days of being sick to achieve it.
Still gonna review the Willow book. Maybe not until tomorrow or Wednesday, though.
Not dead yet
I have definitely been much sicker than I am right now, and much sicker than I was last night, which was considerably worse, but being unable to sleep for six hours because all of my teeth hurt for no clear reason was a novel experience that I don’t care to repeat.
In which we withdraw
Fourteen extra people in my house for the last eight hours or so, and now they have all departed, and I am somewhat sad about it, and I am also very certain that none of the three of us who live hear are going to even speak to each other for at least 24 hours. All three of us have social batteries that get depleted and need recharging, and we are all blinking red right now.
What are y’all doing with your weekends?
Taking tonight off
Today involved a funeral and then a four-hour nap, and I just looked at my watch and was quite startled to realize it was 8:00 already, which is a thing that happens when you sleep the entire afternoon away.
If you’re looking for something to do, I would appreciate a word– a sniglet, you might say– for a funeral that you attend out of social obligation and not personal loss, so that you can mention you went to it without someone telling you they’re sorry for your loss.
