Mid-November Update

[halfcactus]

Good news:
Am fully vaccinated, and free to go out now! \o/ AND as of this week face shields are FINALLY no longer mandatory, which is going to help me drag my foot less when I have to be out running errands haha. (Face masks are still required but I've never minded wearing them the way I have face shields.)

Bad news:
My desktop computer's (~5 years old) been having software issues, and my Kindle (more than 10 years old) battery is no longer charging. /o\ Neither of these is urgent, which is why I'm just simmering in the guilt/discontent of not doing anything about it. Partly it's because I've also been meaning to get my dead laptop looked at for the past 2 years so I have to get that done before anything else, and I'm not really good at managing multiple low-priority issues at once. /o\ I am regretting cancelling the appointment I made at a service center for my laptop due to my dad mentioning a cheaper (and still very accessible) service center. If I'd just pushed through and swallowed that diagnostic fee as originally planned and budgeted for, I would have one less thing to be paralyzed about ahaha. Now I have to make inquiries at the other place and set aside another block of time. /o\

Media consumed in November so far:

3 eps of Leverage Redemption (dropped because of computer issues; plus, it's hard to multitask to lol)

2 eps of You Are My Glory (dropped because of computer issues; it is otherwise ideal for multitasking, very low-key and relaxing)

Symphony's Romance (watchpartied up to ep 15, then dropped)

My Huckleberry Friends

Currently consuming:

Remembrance of Things Past

Half Magic (by Edward Eager)

我五官缺你 (fengshui boyfriends): finished the dollhouse arc! My 2 modes of reading this novel are "cannot finish a single chapter, it's so sloooow" and "reading 4-5 chapters in a day because I must know what happens next"

Ah, good luck on getting the tech appointments sorted out! And I remember liking Half Magic when I was younger. Hope it holds up :D

Yay for being vaccinated!

Boo for the computer having issues. And even more boo for your Kindle. If mine died now I would be sooo pissed and would be rushing to get it replaced. But 10 years is a long time for your Kindle!

Having multiple low-priority issues at once is so hard. I get paralyzed by not knowing which one of them needs to be tackled first (and the answer is "pick one and go" but what if I pick wrong!)
