Hey cat? I wanted to continue knitting. But you're warm and cozy, so I will just read a book...

Hey Katze, eigentlich wollte ich weiterstricken, aber du bist warm und kuschelig, also werde ich wohl einfach ein Buch lesen...

Western music notation is messy. You can tell it's a system that evolved over a little more than, let's say, 1200 years and has a certain logic to it, but also a ton of "yeah, somehow we need to account for 12 semitones, but it's really only built for a seven-tone scale, so we invented all those fancy accidentals", but sometimes you notice the system is used in ways it wasn't intended for.

And then we get to the point where pile on accentuation and articulation marks because nowadays we write stuff like that explicitly, whereas 300 years ago it was kinda convention to play things in certain ways and everyone knew them.

My work project is dragging slooowly. Too much detail work. But at least the cat is sleeping peacefully, after doing her usual bit of annoying me, asking for pets and play and sitting on my keyboard (because nothing gets the h00mins attention like sitting on the keyboard).

Hey fellow mastonauts. I guess I could use some encouragement to let workee-work be for today. I'm struggling along and I can't quite seem to focus any more.

OK, now for a bit of workee-work.

Did my eyebrows! Also, I have intense dark circles under my eyes today. https://witches.town/media/1OwImBQY0uozurbbkRc

Anyone else who feels like they can't adult in pyjamas? I always have to get dressed enough to a level of "I could leave the house like this" before I feel like I can do "productive" things, even if I don't actually have to leave the house for them.

@Angle (oh, I just remembered that Fitocracy does provide training plans and coachin, but most are a premium feature.)

@Angle oh, and if you enjoy a gamified, social approach to tracking exercise, check out Fitocracy. They don't provide workouts *per se*, but I find it very motivating. A couple times, I got valuable advice from other users.

There's a bit of diet talk every now and then, but I manage to avoid it pretty much.

@Angle uh, watch out for outlet/sales? Sorry I can't come up with anything more helpful. I got my New Balance's at a bargain price in an outlet store, but I started with running shoes from a local discounter and I ran in shoes from the supermarket for several years.

Also, if you happen to have anything resembling breasts, a good, well-fitting (on the snug side), extra-firm sports bra is totally worth it.

@Angle I'm a fan of the You Are Your Own Gym app. Sadly, not free, but I keep coming back to it; challenging, but well- explained exercises. Also, you can customize the training plan a lot, e.g. swap exercises you don't manage to do yet for easier variations.

This weather makes me want to learn cross-country skiing.

Bei dem Wetter möchte ich Skilanglauf lernen.

Yesterday night I was trying to sort my meds and the cat tried to eat them 😱 Fortunately, she didn't have any success. Lesson: Put cat out of the room and close the door before putting appealing little round things in little plastic containers.
