Friday     Saturday     Sunday  

Well, i got here, so I'm already one up on last time.

Oh me too! My favourite exercise when it's just from life.I'm afraid to look behind our appliances. I might find a fifth dog I didn't know I had 😂   I wish. Unfortunately it's been very busy so Mr.R hasn't been too receptive to taking a break from our game... I can't say my nights have been productive. On one hand it's been nice to spend time together. On the other hand now I need to try and get it all done tomorrow before the delivery people get here.    Still so much to do though.   It's going okay. Have to get everything bedroom related done tomorrow before the guys get here. I'm excited for our new bed. I'm not sure how the girls will like it since it can move lol

October 5 - Binoculars   Except it's pirates and fantasy, so I made it a spyglass, and you can't stop me. This one's a little longer, slightly over a page.    

Mmmm… we decided to just do a shorter one around the city today, as we had a celebration of life this afternoon for a dear colleague. I was a little delusional and optimistic thinking that we could drive out of town, do a long ride, then get back in time for the event! But we rescheduled the long one for Oct 20th.   It’s probably a good thing that we only went out for a few hours today as my legs were super shakey and sore during the celebration even as it was!! 😳    Anyway… was a FANTASTIC day for a ride, and we had a good time except for a brief foray onto a super busy highway!! We noped right out of that as soon as we could and rode back through the fall foliage, goldenrod, and river views. Pretty perfect. The celebration of life was also nice (we rode up to campus for that too!), lots of good memories of this colleague (who led a long and full and exciting life); chatting and catching up with people I hadn’t seen for awhile and even the people I see often but don’t hang out with too much.   Came home, changed back into fuzzy fleece pants, and iced my legs while hubby built a fire in the fireplace ❤️ so overall a pretty nice day.   I’m still super super psyched for the mega ride though! Next weekend we’re traveling for Canadian thanksgiving which is why we have to wait two weeks to pull it off.

I'm in a bit of a mood. I'm petty and bitter about everything, including myself, even if no one knows it. (This is, like, the world's most exhausting masking effort, guys.) I am the worst. I'm so tired of me.     I'm also tired of everyone else, except for wonderful people, who shouldn't speak (in case I decide they're not wonderful) and to whom I shouldn't speak (in case they realize I'm not).   I'm therefore holding today's autumnal coziness coffeeshop meeting in the dark Victorian Gothic witch cafe with lots of rain and plenty of people we don't have to talk to who are minding their own business, providing us with hot drinks, and not judging us for being the problem or making us deal with masking or fixing shit.   Radical self-acceptance of being the worst is the theme of the day. Yeah, I'm the worst, so what? Not my problem. Not your problem. It changes nothing. We're going to get a goddamn coffee and sit in a goddamn aesthetic coffeeshop and feel some goddamn coziness and be the goddamn worst and not make a goddamn problem out of it.   (In the interests of being social, I'd like to extend this invitation particularly to other people who might appreciate a short period of letting themselves be awful or the problem in a dark gothic witch coffeeshop, like @Rhovaniel, @Sovalis, and, guessing from how long since she's been seen in these parts, @Scaly Freak.)   And I might write a Masquerades of Spring review.

I KNOW. (Though I suppose it's good to think that even villains are human - at least, the ones that are human - and have days when the ambition of their plans and lack of other responsible adults is overwhelming. It can't be easy, having to do everything yourself because your underlings are so incompetent or your plans so objectionable to conventional morality.)   Anyway. Yes. I'm also feeling uninspired. And tired of myself. And just... perpetually unsatisfied. This is incorrect, and the universe has made a mistake.

Hey Rho how are you doing? X

Hey TG   How did your mega bike ride go??xx
