There's a Mirror On the Wall

It's sunny and lovely, and a glance at the weather forecast says it should be sunny all weekend, and this is excellent.

My cats continue to demonstrate they want to try to help their human, though Marisol has a better idea when to not attempt to climb into my lap than Sigdis. Meanwhile, Sigdis has figured out how to pet the human, which is also her soliciting pets. And she attempts to groom me when she does get to settle in my lap, which is sweet. She has also figured out that the human has less fur and thus can get cold, but has blankets to keep the cold away, so human, your blanket should be over your arm, really. (She kept pulling at the blanket until I pulled it over my arm, then rested her chin on it. It was adorable.)

I ran my dishwasher yesterday, though I did not get it emptied after. I need to do that today. I'll worry about dishes into it tomorrow. I also should do laundry today, as I am out of trousers, and laundry will take fewer spoons than finish sewing the pair of trousers that's cut out and has one inseam sewn. I would also like to get some more of the clean up done on the deck, but that's heavily dependent on my ability to stay on my feet for more than ten minutes at a time, and how chilly it is outside.

More map work, and some work on a running project, and some reading of fic yesterday. It was good. The fic is decent, though it has some issues that make me not entirely certain I'd want to rec it, and I don't know that I'll bookmark it, either. But the issues aren't enough for me to just say fuck it and close the tab.

Alarm has gone off, so I need to go sort food for me and the cats, and then I can poke at things to get done today. And five things makes a post.

Today is full of ow, and being very frustrated because my social interaction is almost entirely text. Which. Isn't actually much different from normal, but it feels more wearing lately, because the world is trying to tear itself apart at the seams, and the people yelling the loudest kick and scream about people trying to make the world better.

(And yes, I have a phone, but. When audio processing is being difficult, it's harder than usual to get past the anxiety issues around dealing with the phone. Even with people I'm close to.)

I got dishes into the dishwasher yesterday, and a load run, and I got them out this morning, and most of the rest of the dirty dishes rinsed and in. Which is progress. I need to get the utensils wiped and into the dishwasher, and I need to clean the sink out, hopefully today. Because then I can start working on attempting to wash most of my clothes (not towels, not bedsheets - the former gets too heavy, the latter are too bulky) up here in the sink. So I don't have to deal with the heat in the summer or the cold in the winter just to get my clothes clean. Especially the summer heat, because that fucks me over worse than cold.

And it shouldn't take too long to hang-dry with the dehumidifier going. Longer than a dryer, but that will eventually be solved when dad finally gets the older dryer up here and gets the electric sorted so I can use it. (I can live without a washer. A dryer will be far more useful.)
