working on stuff

Maybe just a bulleted list for this one:

My job is currently incredibly boring because we're winding everything down.

I'm moving in two weeks, which I'm thrilled about. Literally this morning my neighbor's (buildings, not apartments) dog barked for about two hours straight this morning. They just let it onto their rooftop deck and leave it there.

I'm still looking for a job, which is incredibly stressful. I'm not going to be immediately destitute, thankfully, when my job ends, but I would love to have something before that date is reached!

I'm going to look for, like, a part-time job while I'm looking for a full-time job - I want to have some kind of routine. There's a gardening place? Nursery? Whatever, near where I'm moving. I think I'll have missed the application period for summer, but I'm going to ask anyway.

Also, like, a cafe would be cool. Maybe I can get a little wine bar position? I really don't want to get into food service, though.

I've been writing more, which is nice, though I'm still figuring out the structure of that. It has felt very productive, which has made me in a good mood.

I've been in a reading slump that I'm not out of yet. I have The Raven Tower by Ann Leckie borrowed from the library right now, but I don't know. Just haven't picked it up yet!

I would like to keep journaling here, that's kind of flown by without attention. What have I been up to? But it's true what everyone says, it's good to write down your thoughts and feelings.

I've been watching Witch Hat Atelier, which is actually really great. Aside from being gorgeous (like jfc how are they going to afford a second season?), the writing is really good. Endearing in a young adult show's kind of way and really successful at what it's doing without being cloying. It's also happily sort of unrestrained from the typical "boys" and "girls" media and maybe a little like older isekai.

Oh, I've injured my arm at the gym. The injury you can get from the preacher curl, which is terrifying and devastating, though I don't think my injury is quite as serious as it can be, thankfully. The bruising is crazy and definitely my arm can get fatigued, but I'm not in pain and I can still function normally? Obviously not going to the gym till I see my doctor...but that's not till next week, even though I made the appointment last week. So frustrating.

I wonder if I'll have to do physical therapy. Either way, I'm sure I'll be healing for some time, but I hope I can get back to at least doing leg exercises. I'd kind of like a little legs arc; they take so much work to develop anyway, it'd be nice to focus on them for awhile.

I'm very excited about my new apartment; the only downside is that it's a "garden" unit, which is a euphemism for "basement." The light isn't bad, though, and the building is really well taken care of, quiet, and there's free laundry and gas. Not bad perks for a humble, one-bedroom, basement apartment.
