Right. Got down to page 36 and a bit over because the last paragraph was long, and it's... coming easier? После is the word of the day, as it was repeated three or four times at least just in that one page, and for my future reference it means after or later on. There was also some repetition of "tailor" and "barber" or "hairdresser" but I'm not sure I'd be able to pull those words out of my brainpan if asked. Recognize them, probably, remember them readily, not so much. Still, progress.
Also Woot is trying to kill me, or at least to kill my wallet. Do really want a lot, the white and the ... what, purple? Should not spend money on. Do want, though. At least, it being Woot, I only have to resist till the end of the day. Add it to the list of nail polish and other things I'm resisting buying.
Things and stuff. What else is going on.
I need to buy a dress. I need to be Zoe Washburne and look for a dress with some slink. I want to be Kaylee instead and COVERALLS FOREVER, but I'm going to Portland, chances are I'm going to go to some restaurant or another that will be formalish, I'm going to want a dress with some slink. I can't even begin to explain to you how awkward I feel in formalwear. I've worn it so little in my life that when I put it on I feel clumsy, awkward, and two sizes bigger than I am. HALP. It's not even, I think, that shopping for the dress it the problem, it's not feeling awkward. Maybe I should pretend I'm cosplaying Inara. I do have one slinky black dress, but that's about it. I'm also debating seeing if I can fit into and then taking my leather pants, because leather pants.
Yeah, I'm much more ... I don't know. I'm not Inara. Maybe I can compromise by finding a nice pair of slacks instead. Anna's glaring at me now, isn't she.
Did call Mom last night. Need to confirm days off with boy and then book plane tickets for DC, because ... because. Because life goes on until it stops, but right now it's still going on for my grandpa, I guess? She says he seems happier and livelier, which might be a result of I don't actually think that man's lived alone for any long stretch of time in ever, and maybe he was lonely and is glad to be living with family again? Hell if I know. But with luck that means we can see him in February.
Still haven't pulled out time to edit, probably won't till the end of the day, but that's okay. I did my Russian. Still roughly proceeding on schedule. I do not need to be jittery, or nervous, or anything else. I'm doing fine. Really.
