Things and stuff:

1. Work continued very slow, though when she left for the evening, Mom Boss did hand me a bunch of sublet forms and a handful of new leases to scan and process. I got most of them done, but still have a few emails to send out in the morning because there were also a couple phone calls and tenants coming in either to pick up our handful of remaining packages or turn in their keys.

2. Steamed broccoli, both for tonight's dinner and for upcoming meals this week.

3. Zoom meeting with my parents at 8:30pm. In the event, my laptop's camera did not work. Neither Zoom nor my laptop itself could identify any camera, which is extremely annoying because it is built in to the laptop hardware itself. But I could see Mom and Dad though they couldn't see me, and we talked for just over an hour about various things.

It turns out that my Aunt Jan had a health scare recently -- long story short, she had a procedure done to correct a particular type of heart arrhythmia, and then developed a blood clot as a side effect of the minor surgery involved in the heart procedure -- but the problem has been identified and the prescribed treatment is going well. So that's good news!

4. Continued crossposting three-sentence ficlets to AO3. I have decided to do the Magnus Archives ficlets in batches rather than dump all 21 in one fell swoop.

5. Wrote ~250 more "and then" style words of the Narnia/Naruto crossover. It's rapidly approaching 7,000 words, and may crack 9,000 by the time I'm done, given that I have both a couple Big Emotional Choices coming up and a lot of fleshing-out to do with the rather scraggly "and then" text. *hands* This is a very serious story despite being based on a silly premise and a silly joke, and I think it encapsulates a lot of my longstanding preoccupations with ethics and worldbuilding and how to live in community and friendships and family and all that stuff. Also, while it fits seamlessly into Narnia canon, I may have accidentally derailed vast swathes of Naruto canon past a certain point. Sorry not sorry?

And now I will wind down for about half an hour before falling peacefully into bed. :)
