2) All kinds of yummy vegetables and fruit
3) The sun has broken through the clouds, it makes such a difference

Hornet Flight - Ken Follett
I like Ken Follett's books, and I like airplanes, and I like historical books, but this one was just kind of lackluster for me, unfortunately. It kept me reading, and parts of it were very engaging, but I ended up feeling kind of "That was it?" at the end. I mean, to be fair, this book is set early in WW2 and there's a lot of war still to go, but it feels like we didn't quite get the full plot or the amount of airplane that was promised by the title. The airplane-promising title manages to be a big spoiler while not actually delivering on its promise. (Although, to be fair, I guess it did get me to read the book.)

On Two Years
[CW for frank discussions of body changes and sex. Discussions of surgical recovery. Discussions of sexism. I'll be putting these updates fully under cuts, as they are less general interest on the topic of gender/transness and more "what do I personally have going on with my bits these days." Niche interest and all that.]
Holy shit, how has it already been two years? I didn’t get to celebrate at all, but happy boy day to me.

All go together.
Today's luxurious disappointments are in the fields of scheduling issues and data preservation.
The latter is because a hard drive stopped working. I got a couple error messages about moving and deleting files - "Error 0x8007045D: the request could not be performed because of an I/O device error" - which was soon followed by Error code 43, then "Cannot open drive for direct access". At this point, I'm pretty secure in saying it's not going to get fixed by trying the hard drive on another computer, or that I can fix it myself. As such, I'm going to leave it alone in the hopes it doesn't get worse and look into local data recovery centers to see which one can best help me.
In the former's case, it's because Escapade is scheduled opposite a few movie screenings at the MOMI I'd very much like to see. I can probably juggle them around, pick which movies versus which panels, and it's more than a little annoying to have to choose between two fun things to look forward to. As I said, luxurious disappointments.

communityactionusa is set up now. As you can probably tell by the name, it's intended as a place to help guide action, and the sticky is referencing "Project Mailstorm". Go look, see if it's your cuppa.

Done This Week
So I think the sound card on my computer died last night. Now I have to figure out how to get it to the shop I work with, which is back in my hometown. I really didn’t need the expense of computer repairs this year. I just can’t seem to catch a break lately. It’s not as bad as it could be, I guess--not compared to some of the computer deaths I’ve had in the past. Still...
This was the last “normal” week of the month for me. After this, it’s doctor’s appointments and trips out of town. ( ╯□╰ )
The weather chilled out, apart from a random cloud burst with thunder. It’s still not pleasant, it’s just not meteorological murder. While driving home from work, I spotted an oriole in a residential area.
Lewisia: 3 new pieces written
Day job: 43.5 hours, which was surprisingly chill for a week with overtime
Gardening: continuing to add data to the club’s inventory for sales
Reading: Strangers in Paradise #11 & 12 (normally, I would get frustrated by watching people ruin their own lives over misunderstandings, but I just find this so popcorn and candy munchable)
Watching: more Murderbot TV :3, finished season 4 of my slow Leverage rewatch
Listening: OUT THERE by Hiromi (I think this was another rec from John Darnielle, it’s got some more experimental, chaotic jazz, as well as more city pop type jazz, “Balloon Pop” is a very fine song indeed)
Aftermarket Parts: two years of T today! 💉🎉, attended a local trans pride event
Clock Mouse: 1341 words, and I’m actually having a very good time

1) I’m ever do thankful for my noise-cancelling headphones now a former jazz festival has returned to the park nearby. Clearly it is no longer only jazz and the noise levels are much higher. Luckily with my headphones on, I could forget about that
2) Dinner at my parents where hopefully the “music” will not be heard indoors
Edit because of the weather ^^
3) For the first time I’m happy it’s a rainy day
3) Went to a plant/flower fair in another park and enjoyed a lovely drink in front on the manor in the sunshine
