What did you do this week?
As part of a weekly series, these topics are a place for users to casually discuss the things they did — or didn't do — during their week. Did you accomplish any goals? Suffer a failure? Do nothing at all? Tell us about it!
Worked, looked for an e-bike, installed emacs, was a bit depressed, played DnD yesterday evening.
Most of my time these days is juggling between my current work and my side project - I wish I could spend more time to literally go out and do things besides, but I'm way too passionate these days. I've also started the tome 2 of Akira, and played a good deal with PICO-8.
I sold and moved two big fish tanks to a friend. Aquariums are lovely, but they’re a ton of work when you have to clean them out or move them. My back is pretty sore still. I sold some of my nicer fish to a local mom and pop pet store in town that hasn’t been able to get many shipments in lately. It’s nice to be able to barter and trade like that; not something you can do with the big box stores like Big Al’s or PetSmart.
It’s kind of funny in a way. Getting rid of the tanks I was getting bored of totally renewed my interest in my smaller shrimp tank that had been slightly neglected. And now I’m thinking of doing discus in another.
I have been holed inside for the whole week, except for the evening of Tuesday. Luckily I had nothing to do outside, because we got hit by a heat wave, and we got it hard: it's 21:30 and my temperature sensor outside still reports 32.7°C, after getting up to 35-36°C in the late afternoon.
I actually thought my AC was somehow broken, as I left it on the whole day yesterday and still had 28°C indoors, but nope. It's just undersized. Cleaning the filters helped a tiny bit, but maintaining a 10°C temperature differential over 35 m^2 is just not something that it was built to do.
As my ideal temperature in summer would be 25°C, I have not been sleeping right, and as I was also tweaking my sleep medications I have just been perma-groggy the whole week.
