Mood: Tired. Still. Forever.
Treat: Going to go read more Murderbot (there is always more Murderbot).
First Line (Written Today): “Let’s see you do it one more time,” Ram said from the sidelines of the practice court.
Last Line (Written Today): Flynn slurped up the rest of the water, then dropped the ladle back in the bucket. Ram put his arm around the man’s shoulders, and they went back into the yard, while Tron stood on the sidelines to tell them what to do.
Favorite Line (Written Today): They took turns with the water, passing the deep ladle back and forth. The water was only a little cool, having sat out in the warm yard all morning, but it was refreshing after the work they’d been doing. “I’ll give the Emperor this,” Tron said as he handed the ladle back to Flynn, “at least the water we get is clean.”
“Blessings great and small, all from our beloved Emperor.” Ram raised an imaginary glass and grinned, but Tron heard the irony in his tone. “At least while we’re imprisoned, we won’t get cholera!”
Other Stuff: I've been doing a thing the last week or so, where I roll 4d20 and round it up to the nearest 5 (so a 24 would become 25; a 58 would be 60), and then write for that number of minutes. My number today was 50, and I set my focus app for 50 minutes, but then spent about 20 minutes trying to figure out where to begin. So that was a little frustrating, though I'm glad I got back into the rhythm of things eventually. I didn't want to hit a block when I've been doing so well. I've thought about writing more tonight, but I don't think that's actually going to happen, so here we are. (I really wish I knew why I was so tired all the time again...)
