Well, the mice are nibbling on the wires again but I'm entirely sure that's only because I was out of the house in front of people for twelve hours yesterday, not to mention doing capoeira and singing and playing instruments in front of people, most of them strangers. I slept for maybe? almost? eight hours and that definitely wasn't enough. And we got one of those angry letters (the boy says he thought he saw someone walking their dogs and taking goddamn notes on the neighbors you stupid spiteful bitch) from the city about the state of the weeds on the sidewalk. Not the lawn, mind you, THE SIDEWALK. IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE. YOU DEAL WITH IT IT'S THE FUCKING PUBLIC WALK. So, no, this afternoon I do not get to go home and nap, I get to go home and cut foliage. And fuck everything.

Plus today we have more incoming than we've had possibly cumulatively in the last two weeks. So today is not going to be a day of me being anything other than cranky, worried, down on myself, and exhausted. What fun.

Better things though: Camp Nano is over with better results than I expected and now I can finish that up and hopefully Sandborn as well. I got my panels and therefore a watch list of things I need to catch up on, which appears to be only Arrow and Flash. (Unless there's another superhero crossover thing going on that I don't know about?) And I need to do a bullet-points rewatch on Killjoys, that may happen this weekend because short seasons and that's actually restful.

All three of the black cats of the Foreign Legion appeared yesterday. Which, at least one (Cassius) was more food territorial than usual; usually he gets along with Bat Cat and today he wouldn't let any other cats near him. Not entirely sure what's been going on while he's been absent. But he looks healthy, has an appetite, so that's the main thing. And we have enough food dishes to herd everyone to a particular spot and feed them that way, so that's fine too.

The roda is over with a fair bit of success, Camp Nano is over similarly, and now I get to work on the next thing. Or more accurately the next ten things. Which means not beating myself up about having not gotten it done sooner, self, but breaking it all down into manageable parts and doing them one at a time. And that breaking down process is the only thing I have to do today, self. I am exhausted, that is more than enough.

Except sidewalks are part of your property so you have to weed and shovel them but you're not allowed to do anything to them and if the roots of the city's trees on the median damage them it's your dime to repair them because fuck you municipakity that's why.

A pox on the neighborhood arseholes.

That is the stupidest fucking bullshit I have ever heard. Along with apparently the weeds between the road and the sidewalks are also our responsibility. I hate this bullshit. Do your own damn city gardening!

Municipality says: No.

:/

(we get more damn letters too)

in the topic of Municipal Gardening Fail, the county where i used to live is constantly planting saplings in very wide medians to help with greenspace/tree coverage. they also put gator bags, for water! then they...never refill the gator bags. then the saplings die. then they do it again a few years later! it's ridiculous.

sigh.

i am sorry about the effing letter and extra work. :/
