In September, everyone got sick. Then Kevin got better just in time to separate his shoulder. So that's been fun while I coordinate our schedules in order to drive him around and also pick up more of the usual chores/errands while juggling a super busy work schedule. It's okay!! He's recovering and the work is mostly fun things, and I am also enjoying the beautiful weather and have inserted fun plans amid the work stuff. But also I need to sleep more and get back into my regular pilates routine.

Interspersing my days with random m/m webtoons and WayV travel vlogs keeping me sane. Have I mentioned I love WayV? The multilingualism really gets to me. Everyone has pretty faces and decent songs and choreo (they are Extremely Heterosexual though, particularly after my stint with OnlyOneOf), but oh man the 3-4 different languages and cultures they mix into their videos? I'm obsessed. I really am a sucker for understanding Chinese variety jokes, I guess.

Also I watched the Thai BL drama Moonlight Chicken and resentfully cried my way through all eight episodes. What the fuck! It makes me depressed to be on this earth, but also was very sweet and hopeful in the end. I was deeply annoyed by the fan comments on each episode though, because they weren't taking in the show as a whole but just there rooting for their specific actor or couple faves and singing their praises. (Thai BL world has set couples, I guess. Anyway, their fans seem intense.)
