So I had the Friday off and things went oddly. I guess I forgot that I had a Thursday massage not a Friday one and got charged a cancellation fee cause I had confirmed on text but hadn't looked at the date (22 versus 23) but in the end this is okay. I had gotten my flu shot and the new shiny bivalent pfizer vaccine. This was after I dropped off Benton for school with his boat and after breakfast burritos. Then it was shots and a drive into work to get my brain washed for another year. They added 20+ pages to this years info and wow that was a lot to digest. But all good. Then I went and spent time with Mom. She looks much better than the last time and got a bit more color and flesh in her face. She's still weak though and I don't think that will change. We talked while sitting out on the porch and it was nice. I knit and we chatted. I do think that she's still not quite getting that she's dying and its not going to be a long. Covid really took the wind out of her. We shall see what the doc says in a few weeks but I was very blunt about what he said so she would listen. He mentioned hospice multiple times mom, that was to clue you in that its your choice when you want to be done with things. So we shall keep on trucking but I still don't think she will last till Christmas.

Anyhoo, after that I came home and chatted with the boys and then I went to read and fell dead asleep for a few hours. Seriously, passed the fuck out. But that is what my body needed. Got up about 830pm and had some water etc and ice cream cause why not. Then I was back in bed by 10.

Saturday was nice and I slept in, read and finally got my shower and started to move things from my studio to storage from my work office stuff. Got that done and relaxed, we had pizza for dinner cause Mel had spent time in the shop after a hard workout/black belt testing and pizza was good. Mel played video games and I read. I went to bed early cause I had an "plans" for sunday which I will chat about on another post. I managed a 12 hour day and got Willa's scroll to 80% done. now the heavy lifting. Much thanks to folks who helped me with that.

Monday I worked hard and was able to make it to the gym even though my right ear canal is unhappy. its got a raised sore bit and using my endoscope and can't tell what is causing it...it so I will let it be and see if it clears up but its bothering me enough I can only wear one ear bud. Anyhoo...went to the gym and did the crazy ass workout. It was good. I got home had dinner, watched the new Baumgartner video and then started in on getting the studio converted to a sewing studio. This time versus putting my work table in the middle of the room I kept it in the back...when I cut fabric out I will have to move it out but its okay. This will work. The cats are happy that I have ironing board up and immediately have covered it in hair. sighs....

But I will be sewing this week which is good as well as getting materials and path forward on the last 80% of the scroll project. Woot. But muse is happier and that is good.

On the book front I'm 75% done with Nona the Ninth and really enjoying it. This is more straight forward of a story telling experience than the last two books but things are still building to some crazy ass plot twists. I'm here for it...I just got confused last night of a character showing up and now I need to go back to the previous book and go..."oh...now I get it..."
