It's inspection day and I'm feeling... surprisingly okay about it. The person doing the inspecting is due to arrive any minute.
The process of getting the house tidied was simple-- we keep a really clean house to begin with, barring sibling's incredible clutter (which they keep contained to their bedroom), and a friend came over to help out with the preparations. Sibling also rallied quite a bit, despite a migraine, while I was at work this week. Right now the house is immaculate. It's really nice. It feels quiet and restful in a way that our space rarely does.
Outside of quietly freaking out about this dumb inspection, this week has been alright. I have a pal who also has SAD on twitter with whom I've been exchanging cat photos. That's something I look forward to every day.
I've also taken to watching Mushi-shi in the evenings if sibling isn't well enough for company and I quite like the show. It's beautifully animated and written to be quite introspective. I'm used to monster-of-the-week style shows, animated or not, being action-packed and loud; Mushi-shi isn't. This is a good thing. I keep learning just enough about our protagonist, Ginko, to be hungry for the next episode. I'm digging the animist philosophy that clearly underlines the writing throughout. I'm hoping I get some downtime in which to watch more of this show soon.
This is the winter of anime, it seems, because we watched Yuri on Ice last week. This felt like watching a fanfic, but in the most complimentary way possible. It was a cozy sort of series and wholesome as hell. Now, we're working our way through Tokyo Revengers-- I like the time travel premise a lot but so far the execution is a bit grating as there's an outsized focus (in my opinion) on a repeatedly-fridged love interest.
