Did some bad singing, badly.

Relatedly, re-started taking some tablets that will hopefully make me less mucusy (the chest specialist agreed that I could stop taking them a while back, but this turns out to have possibly been a mistake, so I’ve started taking them again to see if they help — they’ll take up to four weeks to show an effect though).

[nanila]

Huzzah for practising at hobbies that you're not great at, but still really enjoy!

Fingers crossed that the mucus abates.

Ha, well, I’m generally entirely up for doing things I enjoy but am bad at — but in terms of singing, I think I’m actually pretty decent at it when my pipes aren’t thwarting me. It’s frustrating because my technical/mental ability is way beyond my physical ability right now, but I’m hoping that if I keep up the physical activity at a level that I can manage, I’ll be closer to where I want to be once the meds kick in.

(I had to give it up when all the lung nonsense got bad, and have only recently had enough breath to start again, but it turns out that the minimum amount of medication needed for walking and general activities of daily life is perhaps lower than the minimum amount needed for singing.)

Went to the gym.

Did not do anything rash, despite great temptation to do so.

Re-watched the Minions film with my children over dinner and giggled together a lot.

Self-care, self-control, and sociable giggling — excellent work!

Laundry.

Well done on accomplishing the tedious-but-necessary!

[siberian_skys]

Thank you. :-)

Went to the gym.

Did some more work on my Python game. My sprites are moving, and I've started working on handling mouse clicks.

Worked on my fan project some more.

Picked up pizza for dinner.

That’s a varied set of useful activities! Python game development sounds like a lot of fun.

Hung out again w/neighbor friend across the hall for most of the day, and had a great workout again w/one of my tutors.

All sounds good!
