I did not care much for April. Among the lowlights:
- I gained weight (though not much)
- I hurt my right knee again (though not as badly as last year)
- A valve in our dishwasher broke, meaning I had to wash dishes by hand for weeks like a barbarian1Admittedly, I came to enjoy this in a Zen kind of way
- The replacement valve from Amazon was delivered to a full locker six times before Amazon (without emailing me) just gave up on the delivery, forcing me to “contact Amazon”, which meant cancelling the order, waiting for the refund, then getting the part locally for a few dollars more. But actually getting the part! Amazon is now an official last resort for me.
- General strata nonsense. Just mentally tiring.
- The weather was a real mixed bag, which is still better than a month of solid rain. I feel like March was probably better, which is weird.
On the plus side:
- The climate still hasn’t collapsed
- No nuclear wars that I know of
- No new pandemics (yet)
- I did some drawing!
- I noodled very slightly on my game
On to May. It better be better, or there will be serious grumbling ahead.
