Things I Learned Over The Long Weekend

  • The Hamilton soundtrack is not good gardening music. The weeding will be brought to a halt by abject weeping rather than overexertion and/or being out of weeds.
  • haha you're never out of weeds
  • I was actually out of room in the yard waste bin so I guess I did an okay job?
  • Elle King is much better gardening music than the Hamilton soundtrack. The only music-related interruption was when I had to stop gardening in order to rock out to "America's Sweetheart".
  • That was a bit of a surprise because I didn't like that song the first couple times I heard it.
  • The Hamilton soundtrack is not good driving music. Abject weeping is not a safe condition to drive in.
  • The super-cheap nail polish I picked up is surprisingly durable.
  • I can paint my nails a color that isn't in the pink-to-purple range and the world won't end
  • By sheer coincidence the blue nail polish I picked up precisely matches my "...because subtext" shirt.
  • Typing is harder on nail polish than gardening is.
  • The Pokémon Go distance tracker shorts you about 15% even at walking speed along a straight-line path.
  • Walking 4.5 km when you'd intended to walk 4 is an unpleasant surprise.
  • Walking 4.5 km in the afternoon when you'd spent an hour gardening in the morning is not a good idea anyways.
  • My walking speed is slower than I remember it being. Gotta fix that.
  • Also need to build stamina back up to the point where I can walk 5 km without needing to collapse afterwards.
  • ...which is actually going to be like 5.8 km because fk the Pokémon Go distance tracker.
  • Hockey has something approximating formal rules for fights on the ice.
  • ...many other random things related to the official rules of hockey
  • ...which is not enough to let me write a fictional hockey game being played dammit.
