2025 Week 8: February 16-22
Feb. 22nd, 2025 06:29 pmI slept through the week, except when I had insomnia and wasn't sleeping at all. It was an either/or situation. The goal of next week will be to regulate my sleep cycle. Again. I have to do this at least once a 12-week. *sigh*
The house is slowly coming back to order, as Allen has found boxes to put his collectable books in so they can safely return to his closet. The kids are still working on their house so we had Bean for a while because she was underfoot and hindering the process (as toddlers do).They're stressed and fighting with each other because neither of them has a way to vent or control their anxiety. We've offered them that one of them can come over here, watch a movie and decompress, then switch. They haven't taken us up on it and probably won't but we're here for them.
This week I've enjoyed watching 'Mr. Beast Games' with Allen while eating dinner and working on Spud's big boy afghan. I'm using double stitch for him because he runs hot and sweats a lot in his sleep. The afghan is black and I plan to add glow-in-the-dark elements. I missed two days of studying html and I'm not happy about that. I just didn't have the functional brain cells to deal with it even though it's stuff I've been doing since the 00's.
I got this week's TBo? entry up in good time, though I'm not as far ahead as I want to be. My protagonist has been wrestling with what it means to be a Sociopath and how she's going to handle that moving forward, especially with everything else that's going on in her life. She doesn't want to manipulate people, she just wants to fly under the radar and have something closer to a normal high school experience -- while learning witchcraft and trying to function in an adult capacity. (Yep, she's gonna snap. Hell, I'd snap in her shoes!)
The mushrooms are mushrooming! Right now we've got an experimental bucket of Lion's Mane going in the grow tent. The mycelium is spreading throughout the growth medium very nicely. Soon we'll untape the holes on the sides of the bucket and begin spraying it daily with distilled water. Funny side effect: The scent given off by the growing mushrooms is... um... it's a thing. And evidently it's a thing that smells like 💩 to cats. The Varmint keeps scratching at the floor where TJGG placed the bucket to check on it, as if she were covering her droppings in the litter box. Since the sound is driving me bonkers I'm about to clean the spot with Isopropyl so she'll stop.
