Weekend Review #3

Ahhh this weekend was crazy! Some of it was fun, but most of it was not.

On Friday, Han and I went to my parents' house for dinner to celebrate my dad getting his new job. That part was fun. I also was very happy to find out that my brother finally asked this girl he’s liked for a while to be his girlfriend! I’ve only met her once, and extremely briefly—I was in the middle of a Fortnite match, and I was trying not to die when she was leaving my parents’ house. I felt so bad!

Lottie was at a concert all night, but at some point she realized she'd lost her car keys, so I had to drive all the way out to her to deliver her spare car keys. I'm the oldest sibling, so of course I was grudgingly happy to do it, but I absolutely reserve the right to complain about it. Especially since I had to work Saturday morning.

Saturday was a bit crazy at the library. Our funding was cut recently, so we're down a person on Saturdays, and Saturday's are usually pretty busy. We managed, but it was a bit stressful! It also didn't help that I was exhausted from being up late Friday night.

On Sunday, Han and I went to Meijer when I was hungry, which was a huge mistake because I wanted to buy literally everything. We spent about two hours there, which was depressing because I really wanted to get writing done. Then I went back to my parents' house because we always do family dinner with them on Sunday evenings. Both my siblings live at home with them, so it's always nice to go and see everyone. 

Project Updates

Convergence

I didn't do any writing in Convergence this weekend, and I'm a little frustrated about that. There was a lot of other stuff going on, and not enough time. Currently, I have 393 words in my Second First Draft, which is absolutely pitiful. I think that's what I was at last week.

That means I didn't struggle with anything on Convergence this week.

Fan Fiction

I wrote 79 words in my fan fiction, but I also wrote 1,313 words in a short little fic that I posted for a challenge.

Goals This Week

Since I barely got any writing done last week, I'm going to try to make my goals very reasonable this week.

I'd like to write:

1. 2,000 words in Convergence that I actually keep
2. 1,500 words in my Fan Fic that I actually keep

And I'd like to read:

1. 2 chapters in Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson

I think I'll be able to get more than two chapters in Oathbringer, but I'm being conservative in my goals this week.

Jasper Update

We had to take Jasper to the vet last week and we spent about $700 in medical bills. We have pet insurance for him, but we always have to pay first, and then the insurance reimburses us. He's 11 years old, he's got really bad arthritis, he's got Cushing's disease, and some degenerative spinal disease. His liver is too big, and his heart is too big––physically and metaphorically, which we already knew, he's the most loving dog in the world––and the vet put him on a ton of medication to see if it would help how often he's having accidents in the apartment, which didn't used to be a problem.

Still, he's all smiley and happy all the time, wiggling and wanting cuddles, gobbling down his food like crazy. Han accidentally dropped a frozen pizza roll on the ground, and Jasper basically inhaled it. He's a silly boy. I love him so much!
