Pleasant "day in the life" from Yeti liked peeps

[King Bob]

Went to the farmer's market. Replaced the furnace filter. Trimmed the Acacia.

Worked until I didn't. Pho takeaway for dinner, drinking a cocktail like an adult, will now Benadryl myself into unconsciousness and sleep with no alarm. Sunday is a rare day of no social demands.

Readjusting to the default world

Yoga, then treating myself to some food on the mall. Then home to collapse. And walk Yuki.

AIRSHOW!!!

Crashed early yesterday evening and have completed 3 solid sleep cycles (I tend to wake after a sleep cycle and usually can go right back to sleep). Feeling more rested already. Sunday was a recovery day which will hopefully soften the blow of Monday - the return to the default world gets harder as I get older. It’s something I ponder about fantasy literature - what happens to Alice when she returns from Wonderland? Or Lucy when she comes back from Narnia? Or Harry when he reenters the muggle world from the wizarding world? Do they get depressed? Because it’s a harsh culture shock.

Anyways, today is work (2 telemeets plus spam programming), a zoom interview with Daniel Wu, and laundry. I did a load yesterday (my camping banners needed washing before putting them away for the season) and I did some of my gear but I need to do my weekly laundry. Laundry is such mundane default world shit, perhaps why I obsess about it here.

25 hours ago I was stumbling back to my camp after the best after party of 2024 - arguably the best after party since the pandemic. Maybe the best one since I was on dead tour some 29 years ago…

Seanan McGuire has a whole series of books about kids adjusting to the default world after getting kicked out of the fairy lands.

Really? What's that called? I coulda written that from my D00M4M notes...

My first meeting was short because we had nothing to do. Such a blessing...

[Greg]

It's called the Wayward Children series and the first book is Every Heart a Doorway.

Blood work + Flu Shot + Covid shot.

Do I take the chainsaw out or do I go fight with the poison oak? Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Have you considered investing in a herd of goats?

Clearly the lack of oxygen to the brain and the shots talking right there.

Have some cookies & juice.

Cookies, juice, and…*Fire*?

So was it the chainsaw or poison oak?

Today I have 2 telemeets plus YMAA work, then up to Fremont for some TC work, then over to visit mom (forgot to get her BP script renewed - must do that today), then the banjo transfer in a galaxy far, far away, then to my mom’s for a bit more work. And there’s setting the new fence lock and sorting my blood monitor. A heavy day with lots of gear changes.
