kittydesadeHead still feels like it's stuffed full of damp cotton rags. Along with some slight dizziness. I highly disapprove. I don't have words for how much I disapprove. Well I do but most of them are neither coherent nor printable.
I'm hoping that taking the weekend just to sleep and do sedentary things will help. Sedentary things and yoga, since my back is also driving me batshit with how painful it is right now.
Some progress was made on random things, including some knitting and a procedure installed to get me doing regular damn drawing practice because I've been needing to work on that, oh, all year? So now every time a specific someone makes a post on tumblr I need to sit my ass down and do a five minute sketch. In an anime style because that was the one that came first to mind as what I need to practice. I also figured out that four thousand characters, AKA an Amazon summary, is about four paragraphs as I write them, or maybe a gdocs page? So I have an idea of where to go there. and I'm trying to be better as far as not pushing myself to do things, giving myself time to rest, etc etc. Trying.
Probably what I should do tonight is just curl up in bed or on the couch and read Cloudbound, which I have started but Nat annoys me more as a narrator than Kirit did. Maybe because he's (understandably!) hard on Kirit and I'm fiercely protective of her. This I hope is not spoilery because I don't think it'll make sense to anyone who hasn't read Fran Wilde's Updraft. But there it is. But I have a bunch of books after this one that I want to get to, and I do want to find out what happens with the characters, so I will suppress my urge to punch Nat, I suppose.
And my urge to do my book summaries for Starlight and Turing Shrugged and Malachy, which would be good to have but of the three only TS is about to be imminently published, and and and. I don't need to have it all done immediately tonight, self. Jesus. I think this is my brain casting around for something "useful" to do since I'm forbidden from writing. DEFEATING THE PURPOSE. Ugh.
It's okay not to be useful or productive. It really, really is. I'm just very bad at allowing myself that.
