I finished draft two of All Strange Wonders last night! *confetti*
Now I'm going to turn my attention toward the mermay fic. Don't have a real serious outline or any idea how long it'll be - I'm hoping for fairly short, maybe 5k-ish to keep it in line with the first one.
I don't plan on keeping up quite the momentum that I had on ASW (since draft 2 was way quicker than a first draft.) I'm going to try to get 500 words tonight, though. I want to take a day off, kinda, but at the same time, I feel like that could easily turn into not getting it done at all.

Today was another training day. It went fine, though I had to stay almost a full half hour after I was supposed to be done, just to get the bare minimum done for tomorrow not to be a disaster. But it's the last Monday for me, at least for summer! After this week, I'm switching to Monday and Tuesday off.

Planning to get together with Taylor for Memorial Day, which will be nice. I miss them. We spent time together on the trip down to New Mexico, and have had our couple virtual hangout days on voice chat, but I've missed getting to really spend the day with them.
They're having a hard time, it sounds like. Their job pays well, but is complete shit otherwise, and I know it wears on them really badly. They're expected to put in a LOT of time, and it's just soul-crushing bullshit constantly.
I know they're also really constantly stressed about what would happen if they come out, and that's a miserable place to be. They aren't out at work, and I know coming out there would likely be terrible. But they also aren't out at home. While I really do think our mom would be supportive, Taylor is still worried about it, and afraid of what would happen if she wasn't...
It's breaking my heart for them, because they're my favorite person in the world.
