[personal profile] adrian_turtle, [personal profile] cattitude, and I had lunch at (outside) a barbecue place today. I had hopes of sushi, but the tables I thought I'd seen in front of the sushi place turned out to belong to the restaurant next door.

I spent a couple of hours proofreading a client's statements in support of her application for tenure. This is someone whose book I edited last year; she emailed last week to ask if I was available this week, and I said yes.

I felt oddly sleepy after the first piece of proofreading, so I took a break. Cattitude and I played Scrabble, after which I started feeling more focused, and went back to work.

My peacock hoodie arrived today: this was a custom order, from the person who made my moon-and-cats hoodie, which I've been practically living in for the past several months. This one is bright and colorful and gorgeous. Having two will also be useful, so I have something to wear while one is in the wash.

One of the buses we rode this afternoon was crowded enough (by current ideas of crowded) that I thought I was going to stand. A woman offered me the seat next to her, and I thanked her, adding that this feels a little weird even though I'm vaccinated; she assured me that she is too. I wonder how long it will take until sitting down next to a stranger on the bus feels normal again.
