list of things:

• i bought a set of dental tools - the steel picks and wee scrapers. i have scraped my bottom front teeth clean and it is glorious. my teeth look better and feel better and the experience was that perfect combo of mildly disgusting and deeply satisfying, like peeling a sunburn. i don't know when i'll feel safe getting my teeth professionally cleaned again, so this is clutch.

• all that said about safety, my massage therapist is open again as of this week and i have booked a slot for Saturday ohmyfuckinggods i need this so much.

• i took Friday and Monday off. i was planning to do a bunch of stuff around the house, but what i actually did was finish AtLA and take a nap every day. and then last night i started falling asleep after dinner; C bundled me into bed and i slept more than 11 hours. i think i'm probably not going to have trouble nodding off tonight either.

• i wish banking sleep worked. i'm doing some work for a team in Norway on Friday and will have to be ready to go by 6am my time.

• the thing that i didn't stay fully awake through the end of last night was Lady Snowblood, a definite inspiration for Kill Bill. i enjoyed it in spite of a rape scene (which wasn't required for the story to work but was brief not titillating). SO. MUCH. BLOOD. and the world was dirty and lived-in in a way we don't often see in Japanese period pieces.

• i am now 1/3 of the way through my Python certificate and i get a couple weeks without classes. that will give me time to put some of the work i've done up on my public github instead of hidden behind github classroom.

Go you! I'm braving my dentist on July 2 because who knows if or when the second wave will come. I have the first appointment of the day and they are staggering the patients. The other precautions look good so fingers crossed.

Congrats on getting through the first third of your Python course. If you have time over your break, I'd love to do an online brunch or drinks.

The Lady Snowblood manga is available in English now. I can't give an opinion since I haven't read it yet.
