Weekly summary: Apr. 7 - Apr. 13
Short summary this week! Honestly, I spent most of the week zoning out again. But maybe soon, things will return to normal.
We did have fun at work on Monday watching the solar eclipse! We only had about 77 percent totality here, but my coworker bought glasses for us anyway. So we had a good time stepping outside like every 20 minutes that afternoon to watch the sun change.
I particularly enjoyed the crescent shadows on the ground as the sunlight filtered through the trees 😊

Music stuff!
Just the usual hsj video this week. This time it's Masquerade. The video is kinda boring, in my opinion, but I love the song. It's got a very jazzy vibe that I enjoy. The instrumental interlude always makes me want to dance.
***
It was my shiritori turn this week, so I wrote a little bit of something silly for Stargate SG-1 this time, which can be read here. Once I think of a good ending, I'll probably clean it up and post it to ao3 too.
***
One YGO fic rec this week: A thiefshipping fic where they have to escape from a haunted house. Really funny but also appropriately spooky!
I would have more fic recs but unfortunately I spent way too much time reading a long fic that I ended up not enjoying 😡 not being able to close the fic is a bad habit of mine because I'm always curious to see how the end turns out.......
***
The new episode of 23.5 this week neatly wrapped up the angsty conflict from the previous episode, so that was nice. But now I'm curious what they're gonna do for the rest of the episodes tho?? Either way, I'm still enjoying it! The characters are so fun!
I'm hoping to maybe write a review of episodes 1-6 this week, but I might be too busy for it. We'll see.
Speaking of writing, I stayed up way too late last night writing/posting a 23.5 fic on a whim 😂 but it was fun! The little fic is a continuation of the final scene of episode 6!
Starting over from here
Hopefully I'll get to write more fics for this fandom soon!

Lastly, I spent most of yesterday getting this year's garden ready.
Usually, we use one of the tractors to make some rows in the yard to plant stuff, but since we don't have the tractors anymore... we had to do something different.
So my parents and I are both doing container gardening this year! They did it last year with success, so I'm trying it too. I can't manage a large garden by myself anyway.
By containers, I actually mean, giant pots with individual seedlings. But that's close enough 😅 anyway, my parents got the pots and soil yesterday morning, and then mom and I went to buy the plants yesterday afternoon (they didn't have tomatoes tho, so we'll have to find those this week). I'm downsizing a little, with only two of each plant this year. So my garden will include bell peppers, eggplant (a small Japanese variety which I find easier to cook), snaps, and the aforementioned tomatoes.
My parents are growing the squash and cucumbers this year. We always share with each other because otherwise, a lot of veggies go to waste.
Anyway, I'm excited about the garden! I'm really hoping the deer don't eat my plants 😅
That's it for this summary! Now that I've typed it all out, this was a bit longer than I expected. The gardening yesterday really got me out of my depressive mood from the past few days, so I'm hoping that continues forward.
Wishing everyone a bright week ahead!
