Put that one in the "I told you so" column
Not a very productive work day, partly because I am really, really tired, and partly because I just cannot seem to "buckle down" when I'm home. I'm not surprised, but I am a little disappointed that even though I made a pretty good attempt to... I don't know, psychologically front-load a bit in order to mitigate what I knew had happened before, I still didn't do very well.
I am super tired, and I am torn between taking a nap now or trying to tough it out a few hours and going to bed early instead. Ugh.
I'd forgotten that I intended to watch a new Canadian TV show called Trickster, and so I jumped on board this week. It's only six episodes, and it was really good (and also quite trippy). It follows the story of Jared, a teenager who lives with his single mother on a reservation, who slowly realizes that there is far more to the world--and to himself--than he ever suspected, and that he has a destiny to fulfil. It's based on a trilogy of books by Eden Robinson, which I intend to pick up now that I know it exists.
Unfortunately, what I didn't know was that there was a scandal/controversy about this a few months ago. The show was meant to be a 100% indigenous production, and it turns out that the director/showrunner/co-writer misrepresented her indigenous heritage. As a result, CBC has cancelled production of the second season, which is very disappointing. I was hoping they'd be able to find different indigenous creative talent to take over. The cast are stellar, and I really enjoyed the plot and writing and overall pacing. Anyway, the first (and probably only) season is well worth watching, if that's a thing you're interested in.
This weekend I am devoting to doing some decluttering and cleaning of the house. I have a lot of small things to do and an even larger number of large things to do. Unfucking my life is a multi-step process.
