Boysterous Boyfriends, Bony and Brined

Today had things. Mostly slow things. I was able to offer a tiny piece of help to M and to be reassured about some improvements. I got help being less angry about families from DerbyK, and less crazy about how I imagine my obligation to protect people from me. Shanda helped me lounge the right amount, get the valances permanently mounted, and make a decision about the bedrooms.

I went with Shanda to B’s art show; went fine for us but B was stressed and somewhat disappointed. Unfortunately they couldn’t reach out to Shanda for help, or even accept any when offered. Which is a feeling I know well from both ends. That I’m glad Shanda and I can finally help each other with.

Watched some more House of Cards but I’m sort of too sad today to enjoy it like I usually do. The show is great at what it does but it’s so unrelentingly mean.

Played another hour of Rimworld on a new build. Lost my hunter to a megasloth early in the run and never recovered. Also couldn’t make passive coolers work. I’m much more prepared to handle cold than hot – I should remember to play that way. And also probably manage my own life that way.

Work tomorrow, at least for a day. Or the part of the day between like 11 when I finally start working and 2 when I ditch for robots. Maybe less if Shanda is entertaining. I think I’m back on the queue next week due to some holiday bullshit but that’s not tomorrow so I can ignore it for now.
