mere_vanillaSo how are we all doing with the whole tumblr plus log off protest?
It's good to get back here, at any rate!
Today, I was able to call the sleep lab CPAP folks and schedule a pick-up time for the equipment for an in-home sleep study. On one hand, it'll be good to get updated medical information on my sleep apnea; on the other hand, I'm really, really not looking forward to going without the CPAP for two days in a row. This also means that I'll have to cancel my appointment with the therapist, since the appointments coincide.
Last Saturday, I had my regular phone call with a friend. We talked about her writing, and apparently my feedback helped with her decision to rewrite the story. I'm still working on a lot of my own stuff, too. I figured out the ending scene for a writing project.
Heavier, current-events-related stuff under the read-more:
So... apparently one of the head writers for a few of the anime series that really spoke to me and were/are close to my heart when I saw them, has turned out to be a conspiracy theory believer, in all the worst ways of these times. In retrospect, I'm disappointed but not exactly surprised, I would say. All the series said writer's worked on are much bigger than just that one person, though, and do have more than just that one person to thank for the media's existence.
In happier news, Kiddo's started looking at books more. We have a copy of Our Cats Are More Famous Than Us by Ananth Hirsch and Yuko Ota, and Kiddo likes to have us read from it every so often. It's an absolute amazement, since I remember reading the comic online, back in 2008, when it was a handful of pages. Of course, kiddo doesn't quite understand that, but appreciates the book nonetheless.
I'm super-excited that craft stores are starting to stock Halloween stuff now!
