ceitfiannaI had high hopes for this weekend but its ended up being a little off. Yesterday I volunteered at the Boston Public Library book sale which was quieter than other times. The part that was hard was before I went to the sale, I had this moment of realizing that I can't look for books for my sister anymore. She's not around to read them and I think that pang is echoing through me. I had plans for sending things and the other volunteers even invited me out to dinner but I'd run out of social juice by the end of my volunteering. Though there was one very cool moment, in the back room where all the sale stuff lives, they have books that are sold online. One of them was a hardcover, first edition, autographed by Pratchett copy of Good Omens, it cost 250 dollars but I was able to hold it and look at it.
Today has been quiet which I've needed as I'm sore and tired. I'm hoping to write some cards to my nephews in France and maybe try and send them from the college mailbox. Today's the youngest birthday and they're both into Spiderman so I found cute Spiderman cards, because each boy needs to get something. Last week was okay, work has gone into a pretty good space other than the whole someone else will be hired hanging over me, while also doing prep work for the summer and next semester. I'm ready to have my week off at the end of the month as I think I'm much more aware of all the ways my boss and I don't work. Good news is that I'll be getting a nice refund from my taxes and it actually feels like Spring.
All my writing feels like its kind of mirroring the weather in this mix of thaw and frost again. I've written the start of something that I really like, an everyone lives AU but focused on Jyn and Cassian's daughter on Fest fighting the First Order. I want to write more for it when I can find more words for it.
Oh and I finally finished watching the Umbrella Academy, which was okay. It looked cool but I never really cared for the characters like I was expecting to. I kept thinking about Preacher which has a similar vibe in terms of stylized violence and outsized personalities, but the characters felt realer to me.
