you pull me out of the dark and now it's light

Apparently, I'm in a Florence + The Machine mood. Take that as you will.

I slept a lot yesterday. Not sure why, but I just kept dozing off. Maybe it's the weather. Things have turned cooler here (again), so I've dug out the hoodies and longer pajamas. I wish we had a bit more rain, but cooler weather has spurred a desire for hot tea, folk music, and fuzzy socks.

I went a bit overboard on hoodies last year. I think I have four heavier ones than I did before. It's kind of nice though. They feel a bit like hugs.

I did get some things done. Laundry, shopping, and Dungeons and Dragons have been accomplished. ( D&D chatter. )

I did drive in to work today. I have gotten away from it (which is good!), but it's smart to drive the car more than once a week and today is Indigenous People's Day, so everyone else has it off and the traffic and parking reflects that.

I did give up on a book I was planning to read for book club next week. I'd picked out one by an Argentine author, but it turned out to be include a lot of contemporaneously accepted patriarchal bullshit and I just don't have the tolerance for that right now. Even if it's a good reminder of how fucking lucky I currently am. I'll go try to get in to the cozy series I've been reading. It's wildly inconsistent in quality, so I'm a bit hesitant to commit, but eh. I've also made progress on the film history I've been poking at for the last few months. Usually I'm fine reading about films I have zero attachment to, and this is a good history! But idk. Midnight Cowboy has never really called to me. Glad it exists and I am enjoying the cultural context the book is giving me, but I keep picking it up and putting it down without much ambition to finish the thing.

I do think I'm getting a little more excited about committing to my light novel series. I am cheerful to have a full series to read through.
