I went with some flower stickers, since it is finally feeling like spring!

Though I realized belatedly that there was a very missed opportunity for a vampire-themed layout this week: I'm reading Silver Under Nightfall (vampires), we went to see Sinners (vampires), and May 3rd is the first day of Dracula Daily (one significant vampire.)

And we even got actual tickets instead of receipt paper for the movie this week.

This week... happened. A lot of it already feels really long ago. Monday and Tuesday were nice: one day involved a nice walk, one involved getting to go see a movie that I really liked. Nothing bad happened on the week. Work was fine, but I felt really anxious for a lot of the week, like I was expecting something bad to happen. Not sure why, but it's not a feeling I enjoy. I did get a decent amount done, looking at my "goals" list, but it didn't feel very productive. I am still frustrated by how much time I'm spending sleeping: I end up wanting to nap almost every day, and am often not capable of staying awake all afternoon and evening. It feels like a waste of time.

Goals for the week:

• We did stop by the vet office, to pick up Cy's food and recipe
• I did set up a LibraryThing account (olivermoss mentioned the site, and it seems a lot more like what I'd want as an alternative to goodreads or the like). I haven't actually poked around to do anything with it, though.
• We got the rent check, but the office staff was gone for the weekend, so we didn't actually pay it yet
• We spent time outside, going on a very nice walk along the greenbelt
• We went to see a movie, Sinners, which was very good
• I did pay car insurance
• I updated my reading page
• I read more of Silver Under Nightfall
• I posted my April book reviews
• I did not write anything in terms of fiction
• I did not clean up my table or drawer
• I did do my May tracking grids
• I did my getyourwordsout check-in: 6859 words for April, bringing ytd to 56817
