I simultaneously have both more and less time all of a sudden. They changed all our shifts from seven hours to twelve; so, longer shifts but fewer days. The idea being that now they are finally testing residents arriving from hospital (and, honestly, it beggars belief that they weren't doing that from day dot...) the biggest risk to the residents is us, so the fewer times you're in and out of the building the better. But I only had three days on this week, and, wow, this is a lot of uninterrupted time with my own thoughts...
I've never been one to want to go into work when I didn't have to, or even when I do have to. But I swear to god this morning my eyeballs were itching, and I was this close to calling and going: 'Please let me come in. I won't get in the way. I'll just stand in the corner and disinfect things.'
So. That.
The weather's turned nice, and I am incredibly grateful for my garden. I mean, it's a square of concrete and weeds but it's big enough to drag a chair outside and read in the fresh air. Try to read, more like. The first few books I tried I couldn't get past the first page. My brain was just going: 'We are not accepting any new information at this time. Please try again later.' I finally managed to to read a chunk of Abbadon's Gate, because the third season of The Expanse tracked the book closely enough that my brain's not rejecting it out of hand. It is not as good as the last book. The non-Holden pov characters in book two were Bobbie and Avasarala, which only reinforced them as my favourite characters from the show. The new ones are Bull, who I don't think even made it onto the show, and every time I get to one of his chapters I'm mad that it's not a Drummer chapter, Pastor Anna, who would be annoying the piss out of me if I didn't have some residual affection for her from when Elizabeth Mitchell played her on the show, and Melba, whose pov I'm appreciating because I don't think the show did a super good job at getting who she was or her motivations across. And, once again, Holden.
I tried to watch the first couple of episodes of Batwoman and, er, I'm not sure if I would be liking it more if I didn't think Ruby Rose was so terribly miscast. She reminds of Finn Jones as Danny Rand; embarrassingly unconvincing in the fight scenes, and not good enough in the dramatic scenes to justify her casting given how unconvincing she is. It's very... early 2000s, with the waif-fu and only so-so lead actor. But I think I'll keep watching it, if only because every time someone mistakes Kate for a bloke, even from quarter of a mile away in the dark, I laugh. And you've got to laugh.
