A Day of Getting Nothing Done
Nov. 14th, 2023 01:36 pm A lot of nothing.
I did, at least, get my flu shot. I had mistakenly been thinking, all week, (which granted is only since Sunday at the outside,) that my flu shot appointment was at 3 pm today. TURNS OUT, it was at 10:30 am. Luckily, CVS sends out push notification reminders. I was, as it happens, exactly one minute late to my flu shot appointment, which is impressive since I realized I was supposed to be there when there was only about five minutes to spare. (I live insanely close to our new pharmacy. We gave up on Walgreen's at Snelling and Randolph because the service was getting worse and worse.)
I am now vaccinated for the flu. You may remember that I got my latest COVID booster some time ago, so that should be me, all set, for the upcoming winter months.
I am disappointed in myself for not getting any writing on the novel done so far today. There are still several hours left yet before I have to head off to other commitments for me to at least make a tiny bit of progress, but today has been one of those days when I would swear on a stack of Principia that time has ripples. Because I will be engaged in something that should take me at most a half hour and suddenly four hours are gone. I'm not a fan. I would like time to progress in a way that benefits me, personally. Time should anticipate when I need it the most and slow down. This sudden "what happened to my morning??" stuff needs to go.
In other news, while Shawn was at her Friends of the Library Board meeting last night, I picked up a huge pile of manga to read. I've already ripped through X Gender and Until I Love Myself, both autobiographical stories about nonbinary mangaka (complete in two volumes, each). I also picked up the two latest volumes of What Did You Eat Yesterday? and the first three of two older series, one that I had previously bounced out of as an anime, Sword Art Online, and the other one I've heard about vaguely, Boys Run The Riot, which is apparently about a trans boy. I'm looking forward to giving those a try.
I also started watching Netflix's Pluto, based on the manga of the same name by Urasawa Naoki, who is mostly known to American manga readers for Monster and 20th Century Boys, neither of which I have read (because I am a fake fan. Although I do like his current series, Asadora! and I noticed the library is continuing to collect those and so I should catch up. Maybe after I write this, I will drop off the volumes I finished reading and pick up those.)
That's kind of me? I have to run to store to get stuff for dinner, as well. Shawn has to work late tonight, so I'm going to try to make something quick and easy before I run off to media night at a friends' house tonight.
What have you been up to? Reading anything fun or interesting?
