Miscellaneous, clocks, and gems.

We have someone coming for the half-dead clock! I will leave it out on the porch in the appointed place, and will hopefully not see the person when they come. I get a bit of a vibe. If I were living alone I would not have accepted his offer.

The Internet has been divided in its reception of Lil Nas X's latest. Since it is about dude-sex, self-acceptance/not hating yourself even when everyone is condemning your sexuality, and giving the devil a lapdance before assassinating him and stealing his powers, the parts of the internet that I am on are delighted and going into excellent discussions: about disability and faith, about shadow work, about the toxic stew of hatred that the cishets just casually make us sit in, and all sorts of groovy shit.

Then there are the angry people having a good ol'-fashioned satanic panic and swearing to boycott Lil Nas X, horses, and Nike (only one of these is an exaggeration).

The clock went away! Yay!

There was a drain-clearing crew next door most of the morning, and the noises from that were making me jumpy until I opened the curtains and discovered that it was the aforementioned crew and not the guy.

Drain cleaning crew was back today as well, still making noises.

We did a shopping run. On the second (and last) stop, the battery on the scooter ran out in the middle, and I foot-paddled it back to the charge point.

It was New Mythic day in Gems, and we got that one on the first two rounds of gem keys, because I was going to give it a shot before the rest of the guild hit level 6 on guild keys (making guild keys equivalent to gem keys). I did do a few more pulls of guild keys once the rest of the guild got their seals together (well, one of the guildies cashed in lots of orbs) but didn't get very much.

It was also new underworld faction day. It's at an earlier place in the alphabet, so it will absorb all the chaos shards until we get all the troops there up to Mythic.

It was also also the day we hit 4000 diamonds, so we got The Worldbreaker (mythic) and that bumped Divinion Fields from level 9 to 12, because the missing piece keeping it at 9 was having not collected a mythic from there. Pleased with these things.

I did a lot of ball-bouncing yesterday; I moved the yoga ball to the bedroom where it's easier to use and won't roll into the path between the living room and kitchen, and promptly used it to meet my steps goal for the day. I'm feeling it somewhat today, but it's a good feeling rather than a bad one.

Second round of cucumber salad. This time I left out the olives and put pea pods. It was also taco night; alas that taco was Not Food just now.

Belovedest's work weekend is this weekend, so they had today off (thus the shopping). We had a cozy evening playing gems and Kingdom Hearts on the two big screens.

Gems of War! So I don't know if I'm making poor decisions in leveling my troops or what, because I'm really struggling to finish the third round of kingdoms. Do you have any advice? I'm getting frustrated and then play a trillion rounds of the coin game and give up.

I may have to hunt down Lil Nas X's latest on the basis of this post!
