fandomonymousAfter Memorial Day (May 27), I'm taking the rest of the week to work from home. (Edit: actually, I'm also working from home the Friday before, and the call I thought I'd have that day is canceled. Woo!) I have a bunch of work phone calls and doctor's appointments, plus the usual game night and therapy, but otherwise I want to take stock in well, being at home before the madness that is my June.[0]
I need to recognize that, much like my actual PTO last December, I probably won't get all of this done. I'm hopeful I'll have a better done/not done ratio this time, that the structure of having to be awake and aware for my appointments will make me less likely to completely laze off, but who knows, I'm also kinda burnt out at work so WE'LL SEE.
[0]Besides the first half of every month being logistically and professionally challenging, it's also Pride, and I have a bunch of things lined up throughout the month for it.
[1]Yes, I've fallen into mech keyboard nonsense. Not as bad as some, but still, I've got these keys and O-ring dampeners to put in my old standby. I've actually already replaced the arrow keys, the Insert/Delete cluster, and the numpad, but I'm taking this slow.
[2]Yes, I have to intentionally make time for games. Learning this about myself has been one of the harder things about adulthood. Nethack usually wouldn't make this list but for some god unknown reason I've registered for a Junethack team so should contribute at least a little bit, which means remembering how to play it.
[3]Quick/slow distinction point TBD. Maybe half an hour? The general idea is "can I make this on a weeknight or not?"
[4]Crazy Walk, proper noun: over ten miles from Kawa Arena or the PartnerBeast Private Library[6] to a destination worth exploring in New York City. The scheduled Crazy Walk for Memorial Day weekend is to Arthur Avenue, aka the only relatable thing John Kasich has ever done.
[5]Those are three separate links. Gender continues to be hilariously confusing.
[6]Places continue to have names.

- A deep-ish clean: thoroughly clean floors, thoroughly clean bathroom, dust the Gunpla, empty/wipe/re-seat the shelves in my fridge and pantry, do a deep clean of my desktop (including replacing all my keycaps and thoroughly detailing my keyboard[1]), donate a bunch of things to local thrift stores
- Get a bunch of fabrics cleaned/repaired: sew a bunch of buttons and seams, get my curtains, pillows, backpacks, and comforter dry cleaned (and repaired, in the case of the backpacks)
- DONE: Prep for Pride. Palm cards are in! Decided not to buy flags! Scheduled to go to Queens Pride prep meeting Wednesday!
- Family stuff: See my mom before she leaves (currently scheduled for Thursday), maybe get my sister's stuff back to her
- Video games: make my proposal for Roguelike Celebration, figure out a headshot for the same, splat a character or two in DCSS, Nethack, Qud, and Tangledeep[2]; do at least a bit of research for RogueCel. Try not to get completely derailed into The Sims 4, but still make a character or two and install a bunch of mods.
- At least one ridiculous cooking project. Suggestions welcome.
- DONE: Relatedly, coalesce and make sense of the recipe collection. Probably a job for OneNote. Tags: good, needs improvement, not tried; meal, side, snack, dessert, drink; quick, slow[3]; beef, pork, fish, shrimp, tofu, other meat, other not-meat, non-protein (for meals/sides/snacks only); spring, summer, autumn, winter; whiskey, gin, amari, other, non-alcoholic (for drinks) [I decided not to bother with the seasonality part; I also decided to put it all on Dreamwidth for the sake of flexible tagging and posting anywhere.

kawas_recipe_test, go!] - Write up invite for Most Kawa 2019, post on FB/Google Cal/here.
- Maybe actually finish a Gunpla, if the weather isn't good enough for the next two suggestions.
- Get some sunlight. Seriously Kawa, take a walk sometime. (I am hoping the day before Memorial Day is nice enough for PartnerBeast and me to do one Crazy Walk[4], but we'll see. EDIT: Sunday rained partway through our walk in the Bronx, but we did manage some there before that, and we went to Flushing on Monday. Yay!)
- Ideally, get to swim or at least go under a sprinkler at least once with my new swim suit(s)[5].
