kittydesadeOkay! Well that was a surprisingly good day for half of it being taken up by head cold? allergies? schroedinger's source of mucus. I spent until noon hacking up, coughing, sniffling, sneezing, just about everything you can do with mucus coming out of your head and in your lungs and I was so freaking exhausted, I did nap, I didn't do much of anything. Which was sort of bad, though I did watch a code video and puttered around and
and I realized that not only could I not access the API to pull information from but also that I didn't need to. I could scrape the data I needed all on its own.
The bad part about that was that I also didn't have the energy or the brainpower to set that up right now so I watched a lot of coding videos, made dinner, and eventually reconfigured the code so that it would work properly with the scraped data and the way the site was arranged and then went to writing. Which was surprisingly productive! I hung around in a voice chat and we all clacked away and it was very companionable. Like a coffee shop write-in without the coffee shop noise. Though next time I might actually make a cup of cocoa and put on some coffee shop youtube audio.
Unemployment Mark II ended today. I applied for Unemployment Mark III, we'll see if that goes through, but Mom's assured me she's standing by with monies, so that's fine. Slightly less fine with the number of vet visits we still have to make, with two cats needing more regular checkups and a handful more needing vaccinations, but it'll be okay. I did a bunch of writing today. I haven't quite gotten back into drawing but I painted and stamped my nails for the first time in a while. I set up to get up on time, I did get up on time, I woke up and got up and if I hadn't been hacking up giant gobs of phlegm I would have done exercises and gotten to class on time. Still doing better. Surprised at how I'm still doing better, I keep expecting more days of panic attacks and despair. But hey. I'll take it.
In today's "I had three pancakes, Mussolini is dead" news, Amy wossertits Barrett is likely to be confirmed, the hearings went on today despite one of the people in the room being a plague vector breathing all over everyone else, and nothing seems likely to stop it. Short of a couple GOP Senators dying of plague I guess. I don't think even they can field a reasonable excuse for a quorum in time. I don't have the energy to feel anything about this. We'll see what happens in November. And most likely given mail-in ballots, in late November. Maybe December.
