Misc.: thankfully it is less hot by now

schneefinkI just saw that I have not posted in a week, which feels weird because I've been writing so much, including things for DW: my "things I want to post" word doc is 42 pages by now - though, realistically I could probably delete about thirty of those because I'm never going to post them.
My current WIP, which started as a oneshot, is at 12k and already the third longest fic I've written (excluding the self-insert Mary Sue fic I wrote as a teenager that I never intended to show anyone) and might end up my longest when it's done, which might not even take that long at my current writing speed. (I wrote several hundred words at the office today, I'm not proud.) Probably depends on how much additional canon review I want to do for accuracy's sake. At least I already have a title I like.
I spent the last weekend at my grandparents', my first visit in almost two years, because a cousin of mine got married. I was originally worried that it was just a courtesy invite because we were never that close and even before COVID I barely saw him more than twice a year because they live on the other side of the country, but he and his lovely now-wife seemed sincerely happy that LB and I managed to come. (My mom couldn't because she finally caught COVID a few days before. Thankfully she seems fully recovered by now.) They had an ice cream wagon at the reception, which was a brilliant idea especially in that heat, and I also ate a lot of leftover ice cream the next two days.
This week I started watching "Severance" with DD, who watched it recently and loved it. Three episodes in and I appreciate it and find it interesting but I don't really enjoy watching it because it does such a great job with the uncomfortable atmosphere. DD reassured me that it doesn't have a tragic ending so I'll keep watching for now.
I'm also still watching many videos of people playing Minecraft, and I also, uh, started playing Minecraft. I know, I know, what a surprise, nobody could have expected that. Current task: get more iron to make a bucket to get milk to lift the ~curse so I can go back to the village.
ETA: I finally got a milk bucket! Only to realize I don't need it anymore because I died at one point ^^ (thankfully recovered my items though.)

It was great, and the lime-mint ice cream especially so. I will have to remember that :)

Apparently! :)
