torachan1. They got the AC fixed at work! The guy was already working on it when I got there and he seemed to get it fixed pretty quickly. Everyone else in the office was very excited about it not being so hot, too.
2. I finished up the second of the Star Wars movie poster puzzles.
These really are fun little puzzles, though I will be glad to move on to something a bit more challenging once these are done.
3. Carla arrived safe and sound in Wisconsin this afternoon. Unfortunately the AC was not working well on the train, which is not what you want for an almost two day journey during the height of summer, but at least it wasn't fully off, just spotty in the rooms while still being nice and cool in the hallway. And now she's in the hot, muggy midwest, but at least her aunt and uncle's house has AC.
4. There is a new yuzu green tea from my favorite bottled green tea brand (Itoen's Oi Ocha series) and it's on sale at work through today. I only noticed it today at lunch when I bought a bottle for myself, so I bought a case (12 bottles) before I went home, so I could have them to bring for lunch. When I just buy a drink here or there I don't always use my employee discount as I always use the self-checkout and don't always have my badge with me to scan, but if I make a larger purchase I always make sure to, so I got the employee discount (which is only 10% but better than nothing) plus the sale price.
5. Jasper loves hanging out on this box in my closet lately. If I can't find him, this is always the first place I look!

What I'm Doing Wednesday
Jul. 8th, 2026 07:21 pmsagebooks
America, América: A New History of the New World by Greg Grandin. 2025. FINALLY finished, though I skipped the notes bc I was just done with the book. It's a very thorough and sharply critical history of the Americas, and I loved the first half. The second half is mostly a deep dive into intra-hemispheric politics, most of which I've already studied in detail. I do wish it had started BEFORE the Conquest, rather than at it, but the book's 768 pages as it is.
Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump by Maggie Haberman, Jonathan Swan. 2026. Started reading just before the Independence Day weekend and just now finished. A chore to read, tbh, bc there's so much orange menace in it, and I hate him. But it confirms gvt by the inept following a plan framed by the vicious. I have been angry at H&S for sitting on so much of this info for up to 3 years, rather than releasing it to the public. But the timing now is good. It's fresh in voters' minds for the midterms. And we certainly won't have an impeachment before the new Congress is sworn in on January 3rd.
iwtv 3.5/tvl 1.5
Holy shit. This show is SO GOOD.
yarning
The cat scarf halves are stitched together & now I only have to weave in five million ends before mailing it out Friday. Didn't make yarn group again bc I slept too late. Stupid sleep disorder.
healthcrap
allergy shot yesterday. I need to remember to make a mammogram appt, though. Also, pain clinic appt. Oops.
wildlife
There's a(n o)possum living in my back porch laundry room. I don't know if it's a nesting female or not. It had diarrhea on top of my washer lid. Which is dried on and vile. (Cleaning it up is my project for maybe tomorrow.) I replaced the burned out light bulb today (and left it on) and left the door open, so maybe it'll vacate the premises on its own. I can call maintenance about relocating it. I just haven't yet. I thought about bombing it with peppermint or something, but peppermint is toxic to cats, and the stray cats use the laundry room for shelter in the winter, so that would suck for them.
#resist
? (I'm still waiting to see an announcement of a new march. Granted, it's hotter than hell, so maybe that's the delay? IDEK.)
I hope you're all doing well! <333

Shore Leave
Jul. 8th, 2026 07:21 pmmelaganAnyone going to Shore Leave in Lancaster PA? goddess47 and I are headed that way tomorrow for a long weekend.
Anyway, if you're going, I won't be hard to spot since my hair is a lovely Pegasus teal blue. Come say hi.
Be aware there could be a lot of blue-haired folk there, it is a sci-fi convention after all.
My grown kids are kindly not saying, " You're weird, Mom, but there's a definite pause before they say, "Have a good time." 😊ᐰ

Jul. 8th, 2026 06:28 pmmusesfoolMy dental appointment went well - it was just a cleaning! - but they still want me to come every three months instead of twice a year. Sigh. Anyway, the appointment was timed so that I did not have coffee or breakfast beforehand, and didn't get home until a little after 1 pm, so I should have just had lunch. But I was so tired that sleep won out over food and I ended up taking a THREE HOUR tour nap. I did finally eat, but now I'm like, maybe I should just go back to bed? Idk.
Anyway, it's Wednesday and I have read some books!
What I've just finished
Radiant Star by Ann Leckie. This was enjoyable but very low-key, even at the climax.
Long Live Evil and All Hail Chaos by Sarah Rees Brennan. Hiilarious and very genre-savvy portal fantasy. I enjoyed both books and am hoping the third one sticks the landing. Sadly, it's not due out until next summer. Alas.
What I'm reading now
Dead Hand Rule by Max Gladstone, which is the third (and final?) book in the Craft Wars trilogy? series? Idk. I'm enjoying it but he is pulling people from all over the first series and I don't always remember who they are since it's been a while since I read those books.
What I'm reading next
As ever, it is a mystery.

Jul. 8th, 2026 04:00 pmisisHello from Colorado, which is on fire :( We are not actually near any of the big fires, but we are getting smoke in the mornings from two of them, which means that several times in the past few weeks we've had to get up at 3 am and close the windows and turn on the air purifier. Anyway:
What I've recently read:
The Astrobiology Immersion Program by![[archiveofourown.org profile]](/post-https-archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico)
startingatmidnight, short-novel-length (~50K) Project Hail Mary gen, I think petra recommended it. AU in which on the way back to Erid, Rocky and Ryland Grace bodyswap. I love bodyswap as a trope and it's especially rich when the bodies are alien to each other. I thought it was a little long, and the handwaving a little handwavy, though the ultimate "why" resolution was super interesting, and I really liked that the story continues through to the consequences on Erid.
The Sisters Brothers by Patrick DeWitt, which is a sort of literary dark-humor western, with a really fun narrative voice. Charlie and Eli Sisters are Bad Men With Guns who wield them for a mysterious mogul called the Commodore. Except Eli's got a sensitive side, and he's starting to wonder why he's killing people for money when he could just settle down and run a trading post somewhere. My favorite part, oddly, was the throughline of Eli being completely unable to hold onto any money; if he doesn't give it away out of soft-heartedness as soon as he gets it, it's stolen, and I was delighted every time it happened.
The Rook by Daniel O'Malley, which was a recommendation frommerit - I couldn't resist the premise of a woman waking up with amnesia and learning, through letters written from her former self, that she's a high-up bureaucrat in a secret organization of people with supernatural powers who deal with supernatural crimes and threats to the country. Sort of like Rivers of London but with Ghostbusters-level humor. ETA: and now I am reminded of another reason I really liked this: the main character, Myfanwy Thomas, discovers (somewhat to her surprise) that she is frighteningly competent at her job. Also there is a fantastic female character with whom I ship her (and there is fic). Anyway, lots of fun, and I'm now reading the second book in this series, Stiletto.
What I've recently watched:
S4 of Dark Winds, which unfortunately had quite a bit of action in LA - not that I have anything against LA, it's just it's not the familiar Four Corners scenery. As soon as they (metaphorically) hung a German on the wall I was expecting it to fire (metaphorically) Karl May, and I was not disappointed.
We've just watched the first episode of S2 of the live-action One Piece. I love how goofy it is!

Jul. 8th, 2026 02:46 pmsenmutAO3 Link | Sweet Surrender (100 words) by Merfilly
Chapters: 1/1

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Xena/Gabrielle [Xena: Warrior Princess]
Characters: Xena [Xena: Warrior Princess], Gabrielle [Xena: Warrior Princess]
Additional Tags: Drabble, Inspired by Music
Summary:
When she had set out on her path, choosing to help instead of conquer, Xena had known there was no going back. To go back would open her to the illusion of weakness. To go back would undo the strides of penance already walked.
Then there was Gabrielle. All of Xena's choices teetered on a dangerous edge when she realized that she would destroy the world ten times over to protect Gabrielle. The first kiss broke Xena and remade her. The gentle caress had her kneeling in prayer that no harm come.
Aphrodite's victory was Xena's surrender to her bard.

Summary:
From the moment Janet agreed to go on the mission, Sam had three little words she wanted to shout. All of their time spent together, all of the little ways Janet had included her in Cassandra's care circled around those three words.
Sam, consummate soldier and scientist alike, wrapped up the emotional turmoil and put it behind secure locks. There was work to be done; Dr. Fraiser would be taking as few risks as possible to fulfill her part of the mission.
Words remained unsaid, and a woman struggled with holding them back did not protect the ones she loved.

Summary:
Catelyn Stark viewed the world around her with bitterness. Winter was coming, yes, but she'd never hear the septons say it would cost her her family this severely alongside the strength and peace of the lands.
She looked at the uncomely woman beside her, and the cold despair trying to take hold in her soul knew an easing. The days ahead would be harsh, filled with trials and pain, but where Catelyn walked, so too did a bastion of faith and strength.

The balcony
Jul. 8th, 2026 05:32 pmcimoreneWax's vacation has started. And we finally put a floor in the balcony (after two years) because we had to in order for her brother to come direct/help us in building a catio on it (her birthday present). The catio is there now, but we have not painted the metal frame of the balcony with rustproof primer as intended. We haven't put slats under the railing, either, so you can just duck under it out onto the porch roof. Not childproof, but it's not urgent.
We haven't done anything about the disintegrating outer door, either, but we do have enough leftover lumber to make sawhorses. It's been cold and rainy since the weekend, and that might continue all this week, I guess. Wax has another 2 weeks of work after this week before the second half of her vacation.
We also need to clean the fridge. We've been putting that off for way too long and frankly I just want to nuke it from orbit. We can't afford a new fridge, though, and it still does work. No special powers of motivation or iron stomach have descended to inspire us to take on that task.
We have baked focaccia twice, though.

Daily Happiness
Jul. 7th, 2026 07:00 pmtorachan1. My stomach felt almost as bad this morning when I woke up, but once I got going, I started to feel a lot better, and it wasn't like yesterday where I'd feel better for a while but then anything I ate would make me feel worse again. Not quite 100% but mostly back to normal.
2. There was another ant invasion this morning, though not nearly as bad as yesterday. I was worried that despite my precautions and clean up this morning, I might come home to more after work, since yesterday we had both been home during the day to monitor any scouts and keep things from snowballing, but with Carla out of town, there's no one to keep an eye out during the day. But the diatomaceous earth I put down this morning seems to have been enough and there were no ants in the kitchen this evening and only a couple in the dining room near where they had been coming in. So hopefully I won't wake up to ants again tomorrow.
3. When I first moved offices last year, the area I was in was the coldest in the whole building, but then they made some change and it was the warmest. It was tolerable for the winter and spring, but it's really bad now and I was just sweltering at my desk this afternoon. I put in a request to the facility maintenance department and they said they will get it looked at ASAP so fingers crossed they can get it to a more reasonable temperature.
4. Look at this sweetie girl.
