Catching Up

cinaed Well, all DC libraries are closed until at least the first of April, so after a visit to my mom's place over the weekend to ensure she was taking this seriously and a dentist appointment, I've been social distancing by way of catching up on podcasts, reading a lot of books, and hammering away at the season finale of my Teenage Witch AU.
I had to stop looking at my emails because everything from various theater companies was sending my anxiety sky-rocketing, and I am worried for my brother, who's an assistant manager at a grocery store and working eleven hour days, but otherwise I'm doing okay.
In good news, after my kidney stone over Thanksgiving I switched to a new diet which involved a lot more dairy and a lot less oxalate-rich food like spinach and nuts. I'd noticed that my acid reflux/heartburn was much less frequent, almost non-existent, but I didn't realize that it was also improving my teeth health, but my dentist was very happy with me, so I'll definitely be sticking with this diet. ...I do love spinach though.
But yes, been reading a lot of books, and will probably do a separate post on that!
Also been marathoning Campaign: Skyjacks, which is a wonderful fantasy podcast with amazing worldbuilding and great characters. After that I have a couple other things in my queue so I don't strain my eyes reading too much: Wolf 459, Rusty Quill Gaming, You Must Remember This, Making Gay History, Ars Paradoxica, and Stella Firma.
Let me know if you have any podcast recs! I don't do horror, but am looking for anything LGBTQA related for sci-fi-, fantasy, and history!
