mistressofmuses | Habit Tracking: Week 02 (January 04

In what wound up feeling very fitting for the week, Cthulu rising up to devour the world; by my friends the Atomic Pixies.

This was not a great week. The murder of Renee Good was horrifying, and more horrifying was a lot of the reaction to it. (And yes, I'm aware she is far from the first person murdered by ICE.) The anger and frustration and sense of despair overshadowed and felt far more important than anything else happening for the week. Work was mediocre. Writing was nonexistent. Reading was okay, but short of what I wanted.

Goals for the week:

I did patch the seat of the truck
I finished reading Manhunt
I read Through Gates of Garnet and Gold
I started reading Ninth House
I did not post my January (or broader 2026) writing goals
I sorted out my what-needs-doing for plant care, but didn't start on doing it
I did not work on my WIP outline
We paid rent
I did post my reading goals for the year
