Per Google maps my walk was at least 5.5 miles. My butt says it was longer. I wander a lot on my walks so it's hard to track milage. (I've used walking trackers on my phone but they drain the battery in like 40 minutes) This was a doozy. I used the bus to fling myself far north... farther than I meant. I kept thinking 'eh, one more stop' and then... I realized how far north I was.

I had to navigate Alameda ridge at night, but I am familiar with it so it wasn't too bad. I did wind up walking down the 110 step staircase, back UP it to shoot it with different settings and then back down again at the start of my too-long walk.

I feel like I got a few keepers. And I feel like my ankles hate me.

And guess who has walked through a third pair of shoes? So far my kill count is one pair of hiking boots and two pairs of Sketchers... Wait, 3 Sketchers. There was the pair I slid in because no tread, the pair where I was like 'why is my left foot wet?' and it was because of a literal hole and now these. In other exciting footwear news, it occurred to me that I might want to sometimes replace socks as well. If I can literally see through the bottoms of hiking socks, maybe is time? I've just trashed and replaced my hiking socks.

Going Steddie

I gave into the urge I've been fighting for weeks and started a Eddie Munson/Steve Harrington comm. In the 5 months since season 4 vol 1 came out there have been 10,781 posted to AO3. There is good fic out there, but it's a jungle.

Best case scenario, this comm becomes a good place for recc lists, metas, random chatter. Worst case scenario it's a good index of writing resources. I've started setting up the profile page with links, resources, references, etc. I am not ready to start promoting it, maybe after the weekend it will be set.

The one thing I need to figure out is whether to allow 3+ ships that include Steve/Eddie. I am fine with having it and just requiring it to be under a cut. But one of the joys of a pairing specific space is not having the content you'd rather not see there. Some of the popular 3+ groupings involve Billy or Robin, which some people find upsetting. Might be better to just not allow it. Just need to figure out what to do and how to word it... ya know in case more than three people ever join and interact. This might be just me making my reference materials public :)
