Ah, the weekend. I couldn't sleep late, as per usual lately. Maybe tomorrow. I at least slept, without interruption from kitties. Sam is probably the sweetest cat on the planet, but he has the memory of a goldfish, so he probably forgot that he could come be a needy boy.
We moved forward on getting our heat back. The plumbers are coming on Monday to do a pressure check on the system. Once we have that, we can call the gas and electric and have them come out. Then, heating and hot water! I am going to take such a long shower! We have a camp shower, and we heat up water in an electric kettle, but that by it's nature is a short shower. It works, pretty well, but it's also a giant pain in the ass.
Today will be a quiet day. We'll watch the Great British Bake Off on Netflix, which is always soothing. I'll obsessively doomscroll Twitter, which will not be soothing. Maybe I'll listen to part of the Tower of Nero--though I'm having a lot of trouble with that. So far, I've listened to the first chapter. My attention span right now is not of the good. Also, it's hard to watch it with Dad up, as frequently, he wants to talk.
I need to work out a time to do a zoom call with my friends. I get to talk to them every two weeks for gaming, but I miss having time to just chat. I miss a lot of things in this pandemic, but the occasional lunch date is definitely up there. We had talked about doing a call a few months ago, but somehow it never happened. Time to send out the email!
I'm really excited about the Russian Festival grab and go next weekend. I want my delicious food. Shashlik (which is a pork kebab marinated in a vinegar sauce that is SO tasty)! Blinchiki with sweet cheese! Various Russian pastries! I'm sorry that we can't go in person, but I'm really glad they were able to work out doing takeout. I am going to eat the shit out of it.
Aside from that, just our TTRPG tomorrow. Gaming has really become the high point of my week. There's not much to look forward to with the pandemic, so I'm really glad I have this. I'm not depressed like I was, but I'm consistently over everything. My two speeds are totally just tired of everything, and wildly spiking anxiety, and it is exhausting. This gives me a chance to interact with people and shut out the world for a while. It's nice.
