Gratitude, stuff, etc

- We had at least one or two days within the past 7 where humidity was low and we could take walks and have windows open

- The climate bill went through!! (Sorry, Ann, for being on the phone during our Scrabble game Sunday, constantly checking)

- Got a cookbook from the library. Lots of fancy recipes, probably not going to make any. Then there is one for a tomato sandwich. Simple. Fresh, home grown or local tomato, toasted bread of your choice, (vegan) mayo, tajine (can substitute with salt and lime), and then optionals like spring onion and fresh herbs. Absolutely fantastic.

- I know periodically I post words to this effect: I am shocked and happy that I often can style my own hair and it often (but not always) looks good when I do so!

One sad thing, and then fandom stuff:

- So that convention that Sachin's no longer going to? Looks like it's coming up soon and I see social media posts and I feel sad and wish it were happening, with Sachin and without jerks. But hey: 1) I had no control over whatever it is that happened, 2) I wouldn't want to be there with a contingent of people who don't like him, and he wouldn't want to be there either, 3) I got my refund and there will be other cons someday, hopefully. Also, funny note? They just announced that the actor who played Finn will be there. Finn, a character who no one liked and who died in S2. <smile>

- Onto my latest obsession with Felix Gaeta (the character in BSG)/Sinclair (the character in T100)/Alessandro Juliani (the actor who portrayed them). I am combing through old Reddit posts that mention Sinclair, and it's good to see that: 1) Tons of people have always loved Sinclair; he was easily one of the most popular side characters on the show, and 2) My comments from 2 years ago show that I always loved him too. Best recent post? "Sinclair is daddy", with 87 upvotes. No, I am not the OP on that one.

- My fic is going really well too. My friend P said on Saturday that she'd beta it, and she messaged back a few hours later to say she was so excited at the tags, at seeing that Sinclair would get a love interest! Alas, she has not yet done the beta but I love her enthusiasm, and I am continuing to write a lot. 

- The only person so far who has commented on my fic is my fandom friend Mia, which is no surprise. But....something kinda nice happened just now? I had commented yesterday on someone else's fic that features Sinclair, and the author wrote back to say thanks and that they read mine and are eagerly awaiting more. (And yep, I can only shake my head and wonder why in the hell they didn't leave a comment.)

And reminder, when your BFF has been telling you for years to watch a show, THEN WATCH THE SHOW!! (What were all the excuses I had? "It's old." "It prolly has no fandom." "I don't wanna." Shaking head.)
