Ow, go team

Yesterday P drove me down to the second ave RiteAid for my first Moderna shot. It was straightforward, no complications, a little weird being in a building that wasn’t my house but I did get to spend the fifteen minute wait time looking at All The Things so brain was pretty happy about that.

Back at home I took a pile of measurements on the lever mechanism for the White. I’ve decided to redo the linkage to be more like the original, which requires a ninety degree bend. I drafted the new part, then lunch and crossword, then transferred markings, and made the first few cuts and the primary bend.

Snack and Kipo, then tried out the first episode of Irregulars, which is okay but a little heavy on the jump-scares.

Dinner solo, with ibuprofen since the injection site was starting to do its thing. Bed and phone games as my brain started to fill with cotton balls, then sleep early. Dreamt of classrooms aboard a spaceship whose technological secrets were long forgotten, keeping skunks out of the garden, and some kind of platformer that used slices of bread as power-ups.

I finished Every Heart A Doorway by Seanan McGuire, which was lovely and you should read it. It’s a YA contemporary boarding school fantasy about coping with life after returning from adventures in $fairyland, when home isn’t home anymore.

I started reading The Conjurer Fellstone Trilogy by Marjory Kaptanoglu, but it’s barely begun so I don’t have notes yet.
