kittydesadeI had intentions of finishing the post I'd started when I got home, but all day yesterday I was half asleep and/or crying over Opportunity (and let's be fair I'll still burst out crying today) and then I got to class and ended up being the fighting dummy so Groot could teach the other student, who didn't quite get the sequence we were practicing, and I ended up doing 50 of the same kick very slowly over and over and sometimes just hanging in the air in mid-kick, and then I got home and was exhausted. So bleh.
I did manage to get in practice yesterday, which makes me up to 17/20 days of guitar practice. I can miss one more day in the next four before I have to deny myself glitter. But I don't think that'll be a problem, really. I've gotten a lot better than I've been since I was a kid about regular guitar practice, even if it's just half an hour of noodling at the song tabs I do know. It's one of the things I'm going to try to do every day for 30 minutes or so, maybe more on the weekends, if I have a lot of free time during the week. I'm very, very slowly getting better. I'm dreading the moment when my skills plateau for a while, hoping I don't give up on it then. We'll see. Maybe I can keep bribing myself with glitter and shiny new equipment and ... something. Or maybe even if my skills plateau I'll keep practicing because there'll still be songs I love for me to learn. It's not like the world is running short of those.
I'm tired again today but it feels more like I did too much yesterday and now I'm drained and need to sleep, rather than being tired and needing to sleep for no reason. I can live with that. Plus there's always the chance that if I eat proteins and drink a lot of water and possibly have sugar I'll wake up, plus there's the adrenaline from kick drills.
I had grand plans to get gardening done either this weekend or next, but it's going to be cold and I may save out excavating the garden for March. Realistically I should have done it last year, prepped everything and then covered it in plastic. That didn't happen either. I'm hoping I can be more productive about it this year now that my damn thyroid is behaving better (I hope? I've been really tired the last few days, on the other hand being tired hasn't stopped me from getting a fair amount of crap done. Maybe this is what being normal and pushing too hard feels like. Heh.
I'm continuing to work on getting my web presence polished and updated, and I still feel like I should write a serial of some kind. This time getting all the material written before I publish it, and I'm not sure how that's going to work, especially with all of my other projects going. The obvious semi-solution is to take something I've already started, drafted, or am in the middle of, possibly the Queers in Space thing, and turn that into a serial. But I'm still extremely unsure and anyway I need to smooth out all the other parts before I add more. Feh.
Mostly I'm just wishing I could be a full time self-supporting writer, which you'd think would be easier since I have a partner who makes the bulk of the money in this household, and yet not so much. Ah well. Today's quiet, I should be able to get some writing done.
Still need to make Lucifer icons.
