summercomfortLo! The child is dropped off to summer camp (9am-3pm), and Spouse is at work (in-person!!), which means that I am BY MYSELF for the first time in a long time! (I love spouse and child, but also, being with humans and keeping track of humans, much beloved as they are, still saps my introvert energy lol)
I think one of the things that has happened over the past few years is that my ability to deal with other people has decreased (or maybe, it takes more energy to do basic masking? I definitely understand why dad has decided to retreat to China, never to return). It's funny, since I keep trying to come up with gadget- or space-based solutions to this, only to hit the wall of "actually I'm too much of a sensitive hothouse flower for this solution." For example, I'm like "oh! noise-canceling headphones!" but I actually hate things touching my head or being in my ears, so lol that's not gonna work. Or I'm like "I'll create a 'me' corner in the bedroom with a comfy armchair and my stuff", except that it turns out that what I really need is a long stretch of time by myself??? Where I can decide what the next task is???
Another thing, is that I think my number of WIPS and to-do projects have accumulated, to a point where it's gumming up my creative generation energies. So one of the goals of this summer is to finish some out-standing projects!
This week:
- Finish stands
-> oopsie I did one wrong. I think, to fix it, I should:
---- cut out the other 3 "V"s
---- replace the wrong one with a new one (therefore no screw holes!)
---- stain and polyurethane the other 2 "Vs" plus the new one that's attached to the fixed stand
---- I need to do all of this after the current bit of polyurethane dries
Stand 1: ready for wheels and carpeting
Stand 2: needs 3 more flips+coats (as in, 1 side needs 1 more layer and 1 side needs 2 more layers). Stand 3: needs to completely swap a piece in, and then 3 more flips+coats
So maybe the order of affairs should be:
- pause coats rn, then after 3pm I can cut the other 3 "V"s and get the piece swapped in
- resume polyurethane coats tomorrow, should have stands 2 and 3 finished by then
This Afternoon:
- Maybe do some more tie-dye with Miss R?
- do typing and Chinese with Miss R
Tonight:
- prep cyanotyping
- cyanotyping
Projects:
- Serpentine Anthology
- Fix website stuff (update soupycomics, deal with maybe virus problems? figure out proper comic hosting? update SCS website?)
- New court case comic (Ozawa? or something else?)
- July 4th comic? (not certain if want do)
- Finish some fic wips
- collect Tisquantum in 1 book? (eh)
Things to watch:
- West Side Story
- Superman?
- Condor Heroes?
