kittydesadeOnce again I have nothing for SCOTUS and the liar in chief but a massive annoyed Rocket Raccoon face. Actually for everything political these days. I'm scared and I'm pissed off and I'm exhausted and there isn't much I can do about any of it except to make what I can work, day to day. And... that's all I have to say about that. Like most of us.
I was considering getting a tablet to take to DragonCon instead of my laptop. I'm still considering it but the ones in a price range where I could consider buying it are all about the size of a Kindle and I'm not sure I like that idea any better. Maybe. But I also just bought a new battery for my laptop, so I can keep that going a while longer. But on the other other hand it might be nice to have all my electronics in my shoulder bag should I need them. And I think the solution here is actually to go to Best Buy and see what they have and what practically an 8" tablet means for me, and decide there. It could be hella useful to have a small tablet I can tuck in my laptop, I did get a lot of mileage out of my ASUS netbook. I just want a tablet and a keyboard is the thing. I like keyboards, and if the keyboard is the size of the tablet that helps a lot with my ability to write at speed. Ugh decisions. Ugh decisions involving money.
Ugh decisions involving health, too. I may have developed hypertension as a result of being hypothyroid (I think I have my hypers and hypos right there) and as someone who spent the first half of her life to date taking at most one pill a day I deeply resent suddenly having to take four to maintain my optimal health. Resent it I say. I don't know if there's any solution for it either, certainly not for the thyroid issue, that's just packing it in. Nor yet for the lungs, although mine seem to be getting stronger. Inasmuch as they can.
Writing is going along relatively well, so that's a positive? I'm almost ready to submit the one chunk of novel to the agent, and the other novella for submission in August is coming along zippy. And edits on Jude are going well so I can also submit that in August, I hope. And I've mostly got notes taken for the Railroad story which has no home, so that's been deprioritized somewhat, but it's also my Camp Nanowrimo novel so I need to either count something else in its stead or get my butt moving on that. But on the other hand once I do get moving on that, I only registered for 35k and I can do that in two weeks, so that's not as bad. I got a rejection, found another place to submit stories. It's going relatively well? I want my bookshelves though, came the perpetual whine. And I need to clean up my office some.
And I have no idea what happened to![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
inkingitout. Or whether or not the community is still active, it's only been a couple weeks so I have to assume it is? But the mods are usually good about not missing a weekend. So... something. I wonder and worry.
And mostly I'm just tired and fretful of politics and stressed about DragonCon, even though that isn't being problematic this year. It's just that everyone's tense and angry all the time and that's a lot of people packing into a small space. But it's also become a "see old friends" time, so I do enjoy that part of it, and all of my events are in one hotel that's connected to the one I'm staying in. So it won't be that bad. I'm just tired and fretful.
