As of a few minutes ago when I just submitted a payment via the USPS website, I managed to pay three of my four bills that were due. The hotel has been renewed for another week, my storage unit has been renewed for another month, and my P.O. box has been renewed for another six months. I didn't have enough to cover the phone bill, but I made an arrangement to pay it once I get paid on Thursday for a small late fee (less than $10), so I'll take it.

I'm about $20 shy of covering a few more smaller bills that are due come July 1, and I could really use another $20 to cover washing/drying a couple of loads of laundry if at all possible, but I have a few more days to work on that so I'm hopeful I can come up with it by then. If not, well, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

I'm very, very thankful for the help that I got in covering the larger bills. I was very much panicking for a bit there. 💕

And that's where we left off.

The Supreme Court's men don't see women as human or equal to them -- if they did, would they still restrict our health care?

I have been watching 'Elementary' the past week or so, especially during the heat dome of the last few days, and throughout the first three seasons Holmes' father is mentioned a few times but never shows up.

He finally does show up early in season 4, and from the first moment I saw him I kept thinking, 'where do I know this actor from'? His face, older and lined, was like many other actors, but that voice was singular.

So I looked him up.

He played Denethor in LOTR, the bad father who tried to burn his younger son to death and immolate himself on the fire as well -- the worst of the fathers in LOTR.

Tone down the madness, make him a high-level businessman with a finger in every government, and you have Sherlock's father. Pretty good casting.

Okay, I just have two more days of work to get through, and then I have an entire week off. Nine whole days. The first five of which will hopefully be spent not leaving the hotel if I can manage it, because I desperately need to recharge. I'm even going to try to wash clothes either tomorrow or Friday so that I won't have to leave my suite unless there's an emergency of some type. A complete removal from all human interaction will do me so much good.

I'm hoping to set aside at least a few days to curl up and properly lose myself in video games, probably Baldur's Gate 3 or Dragon Age: The Veilguard although I might try something new. Or maybe something old, like a new Mass Effect playthrough. There are a lots of options. Whatever I go with, I keep saying that I'm going to play video games on the weekend, and then I don't manage it, so I'm really going to try during this break.

I also want to attempt to do some fic writing just for myself. I've had a bad habit of only writing for exchanges lately, but I have a ton of WIPs so it would be nice if I could set aside at least a few hours here and there during the break to work on getting back in the writing habit.

My Wednesday night D&D group is going to be getting together in person to play next weekend. Everyone's flying in on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning, and then we're going to jump in around lunchtime on Friday as soon as the last person arrives. Then plan is that we're going to play pretty much the rest of the day on Friday, all day Saturday, and until mid-afternoon on Sunday.

A somewhat rant about not hearing the opinions of the many Democrats in Congress on Trump declaring war without their consent.

For the record, it's definitely possible to get a sunburn in less than ten minutes. As the top of my buzzed head can confirm.

I walked to a nearby shopping center yesterday to run some errands, which is something like a 7-8 minute walk away, and I didn't think anything of it despite it being miserably hot because of the humidity. At least, not until last night, when I realized that I had a noticeable sunburn on my head from that walk.

Oops?

Current Mood: frustrated

I've gotta admit, I didn't see that coming. Darrington Press, which is the publishing company that Critical Role started a few years ago, just announced that Chris Perkins and Jeremy Crawford have joined the team.

For those unfamiliar, they're both well-known names in D&D who left Wizards of the Coast a few months ago. So it's a pretty big deal that's where they ended up after jumping ship.

Current Mood: surprised
