Okay, in the spirit of "I read all your posts eagerly so I should be reciprocal" I'm dragging an entry out of myself with bloodied nails. I've been feeling pretty low energy mood-wise as I've been reducing my physical activity to try and let my shoulder heal. The downsides to inactivity include a circularity of no longer wanting to be active, leading to less ability to be active, so I've been pretty much stuck on flicking through my tumblr dash and reblogging cats. Cheap, low-stakes dopamine. :-\
Winter and it's cold fronts from the Antarctic are finally here. I don't like being cold, but at least today there's blue skies and light winds. I made myself go for a walk
before having my lunch and I think that's the trick. Otherwise I sit there and play sudoku on my phone for the best part of an hour. It was so good for me, to the point where I've deleted several dolorous sentences from this post (yes, it was much worse than this).
Cheerful things! I finished my latest jigsaw. I admit to being addicted.
( A sunny afternoon in Amsterdam )Dude is making me re-watch all three
Sonic the Hedgehog movies on Blu-ray (because he does his best to cheer me up) and they are a lot of fun. Agent Stone is THE best henchman in the history of henching! We're also watching
Andor and I keep saying, "This is about to go horribly wrong, isn't it?" I am holding off on Murderbot until all the episodes are out and I can binge them over a seven day free trial! I feel MB would approve of this strategy.
I recently finished reading
The epic crush of Genie Lo by F.C. Yee, and it was a lot of fun. Monkey was something I watched and loved as a teenager (the original Japanese series) so I was primed to love this. Thanks
isis for the rec, and everyone else for your book posts. Even if I don't comment I'm always taking notes. ♥
Currently, I'm reading
The ruby's curse : a River song, Melody Malone mystery by Alex Kingston. So far it's as fun as a Doctor Who episode. I have
The iron will of Genie Lo ready to go when I'm done with that.
I've been playing
Ori and the Blind Forest (definitive edition) and it's so pretty. I bought myself a controller to make playing easier, but my hand-eye coordination is still not great and I got frustrated yesterday when I got to an energy gate and didn't have enough energy to open it. I didn't feel like back-tracking so I played through
Florence for easy comfort gaming.
At work it's the start of exams, so things are about to get busy. I have to remember to stand up more often and not lift anything.
In conclusion, here is a picture of Ashah, who has decided that my Oodie is just wrong and refuses to sit on it.
