This was a long week (despite being a short work week for me) and a rough one. The shooting at Evergreen High School ("minor" as it was, considering, and how awful is that?) impacted me more than I expected, having interacted with the two named students. I didn't know them well, by any stretch, but it still hit me hard. The endless discourse around Charlie Kirk's death has also been completely exhausting. The stuff from early in the week - more back and forth getting the AC fixed, a walk in a neighboring city to see an uncommon bird - seems like it was way longer ago now. We had a model show to end the week, which was tiring but a nice break. Having a long weekend was a good thing.

Goals for the week:

• I did finish reading The Dead Take the A Train
• I started reading Tidal Creatures
• I did not finish (or even work on) the WIP intro
• We did finish the model show prep, even if it was last-minute
• We went to the model show on Saturday
• I stopped by mom's earlier in the week to collect caterpillars, and Saturday to drop Bella off
• I went to the bank
• I ordered birthday gifts for Taylor, though they aren't supposed to arrive until day-of :/
• We got a bit of outdoor time
• I did write up my September writing goals
• We paid rent, finally getting an accurate amount
• I still haven't put my laundry away
• I did go buy fruit flies
• I didn't work on my reading page
