Nov. 7th, 2016 10:09 amAnd we're in the homestretch. And I still have to work and I want to spend the next couple of days drunk or asleep. Probably asleep since for all I complain loudly about not having the right alcohol for this, I very very rarely actually drink more than a cider or honey beer. The boy and I are anticipating election night violence and I can't tell if I want to keep an eye on it because I won't be able to take not knowing or if I'll be overwhelmed by the horror of what the fuck are you doing to my country.
And I wish I could be one of those people who are standing there looking around right now going "WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED. THIS WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN HERE" and I have no idea how to do that. Mostly for the last few years I've been standing around going "No no no no no no NO. NO. STOP." Or at least that's what it feels like. I'm so tired, you guys, I want to believe we can be better than this and probably most of us can! But fucking argh.
(Oh god, McCrory, my state's dirtbag sleaze-tactic-wielding governor bought and paid for by the GOP's lunatic fringe, his twitter team just tried to get me to vote early for him. I can't ... I don't even think there is early voting today. Scum. Fuck off.)
Okay. Deep breath. Good things.
I managed a good capoeira lesson on Saturday, including some assisted handstands/backbends? Back... rolls more than flips over someone, we all took turns being the human gym horse. So that was fun and I got some more exercises I can do and I really really need to start doing these at home augh. But I made it through that, and then I limped home and watched the last of Prison Break which makes even less sense than I thought for them to do a sequel series. I just. What. And it's been so long I don't know how they'd spin it as 'and this happened between the end of the series and the final scenes.'
I didn't get nearly as much Nanoing done over the weekend as I wanted, possibly because I was still resting from craft fair season but regardless, I need to get my ass moving now. But that shouldn't be too hard. I did get a bit of cleaning and laundry done, and I got a lot of physics notes copied over. I think most of what I did was relaxing, really. Which I probably did need. I hope that after election season is over this pile of depression-like symptoms will go the fuck away. I mean, it's not unreasonable for everyone in this country and maybe some people out of it to be suffering that way from US election bullshit. But I really, really hope that after the uncertainty is over and we know what we have to work with for the next while it'll go away.
I was in a good habit of gesture drawing for a while! And now not so much, I need to fix that. But... egh. I woke up this morning and while I really, really did not want to get out of bed, I did have more energy than the last few weeks to get up and out of bed, which I'm pretty sure is due to the presence of sunlight after the time change. So. We'll see how the next couple of week sgo, after the election. Currently... okay, let's review.
Currently my day is: get up, exercise, do household chores? The ones that take ten minutes or less. Do Duolingo and Memrise if it hasn't fucked itself over again. Shower, put on a face. Go to work. Do what writing, sketching, and occasional duolingo/memrise can be done at work while at work. Come home, dinner, do Arabic, Hindi, Japanese. Do writing. Scoop litter and wash face off, go to bed at a reasonable goddamn hour. Read books and knit in between all that. This seems doable? It's all on Habitica anyway, except the knitting and the book reading. So let's see if I can get this done most days over the next couple months. If not, I may need to re-evaluate at the... oh fuck. Is it the ninth year of Courtesan School almost already? Aaaaaugh. Augh. Augh. Courtesan life at this point. But augh.
