kittydesadeWell. I didn't make it to capoeira tonight, but we did go to the hardware store where I was as gentle as I possibly could be about the whole "you don't listen to me I told you we should have gotten space heaters a week ago when the last one blew but you didn't listen to me and oh look they're all gone" Ugh. I do love the boy but sometimes I also want to scream at him.
But we did get a couple of small personal space heaters, one for my office which will work well, I tested it, to keep me from freezing to discomfort when I use the office computer and the desktop. I didn't actually get much work done between setup and being called over to the boy's computer to pick out space heaters to mail order (SIGH) and fussing at something else I don't even remember what. And then watching Lucifer collectively, eating dinner, and I possibly could have crammed some writing sideways in there somewhere but it's been a weirdly long day and I'm tired.
But I did get in some guitar practice! I'm getting a bit better, a bit quicker. That's five days out of six I've practiced, and I've made a deal with myself that if I practice for twenty one days, allowing myself three days for a total of twenty four days, I can get some more ColourPop Gliterally Obsessed gels which are basically colored glitter in a face-safe gel medium. Because it occurred to me again to paint my face in a ziggy stardust lightning bolt with the gels. Sometimes I'm predictable.
Despite not much progress on the direct drafting itself getting done today, I may have figured out (by making a poll and making other people choose, heh) which Skiffle novel(la) I'm drafting first. I started a short story with enough material written that I can tell where it's going and finish it when I've slept, I think. I figured out my order of books to read next, what I'm doing next month for writing. It was a very productive day, self, remember that.
It's late, I'm tired, and I'm digging into the self-recrimination hole again. Time for sleep. To sleep perchance etc etc, and tomorrow to get up and create more things. Even if some of those things are calluses on my poor sad fingertips.
