Right. Let's see if I can get any German studying done whatsoever while I'm out front.

WHARRRGARBL.

So, yes. That day happened. I'm a little surprised that I actually managed to get any German done at all while I was out front handling the Guild Show crowd. It's good for our store, and there's a lot of interesting folk come through, but AUGH SUDDEN INRUSH OF BUSY AAAUGH. I did, at least, manage to get a pile of sleep, some writing done, some plotting for Nanowrimo done, all that good stuff. And, of course, not nearly as much writing done as I would have wanted. Poop.

Did manage to get mostly caught up on Sons of Anarchy and all I have to say is oh Juice you dumb fuck. Actually, oh everyone, you dumb fuck about covers most of my opinion of this season of Sons of Anarchy. Except Tig, who doesn't get enough screen time to be a dumb fuck, and... hmm. ... No, actually, I think that's it, even most of the side characters have gotten just enough screen time to hang themselves with. Also, that last episode I saw was a whole litany of Things I Never Wanted to Hear David Hasselhoff Say. Ew.

The boy's ick has developed into full blown plague, joy. Which means I also need to run up, get VitC and check for ginger tea at the tea exchange place along with yelling at the bank about my debit card. Sigh. This is in addition to both weekend backlog shipping and unpacking from the show yesterday. It's going to be a fun day.

Argh. Argh argh argh.

Let me posit a situation to you, dear readers. You're passing a cop on the street. Nothing terribly hinky seems to be going on. Said cop pulls out his gun, looks down at it. Frowns, waggles it, then puts it back in his holster and does not snap the holster shut. How do you take this? What do you do? Do you find this unusual? Worrying? Normal? Uninteresting? Inquiring and cranky kitties want to know.

The other massive annoyance of the day: now I really need to get my ID renewed because I can't get a working debit card without it, but this means dealing with social security because this state's DMV won't give you an ID without the actual social security card. Can't use your passport, your medical insurance, tax forms with your SSN on it, no, you need the actual card. Which went through the washer years ago. ARGH. I mean, I've been meaning to do that anyway, but I really really hate that so much of what you need to do in this country you need to do based on a piece of identification that you're supposed to have on you at all times and is made of fucking paper. Hopefully this won't involve too many hoops. I may hurt something.

Well, no I won't. It'll be frustrating and it may take a while, but it's not anything I can't get done by flashing the contents of my Important Shit folder and going and showing things at offices. And until that's done, and all my bills are paid anyway for a while, but until that's done I have enough cash to get by for a week or three. Still cranky.

And I have a sick boy at home to deal with argh. At least most of my errands are done. Still need to beat up the tea place for great teas, but that can happen at the end of the day. Oof. Now, work-type work. All the packing and all the unpacking and bleh. This week better improve from here on out, 's all I'm saying.

Oh my god you guys. You guys oh my god.

Okay, so, I didn't get to do this the other day because I was busy being awesome, but I'm going to once again go through the list of things I have done lately that make me awesome. Firstly, I'm currently studying four languages. Regularly, dedicated, and making progress on all of them. Secondly, I do this around writing and a full-time day job. Thirdly, I also am taking a Music Theory course and playing guitar. Slowly. But learning guitar. Fourth, I cook most of my own and the boy's meals, home cooking, most of the time actual cooking with a stove and chopping ingredients and shit. Fifth, the past couple weeks I have been doing this around working an unusually high day job work load. Sixth, I also make time to engage in a little RP and watch TV. Seventh... um, I can't think of a seventh. But I am a multi-tasking badass. Maybe seventh would be taking care of the boy and doing dishes and everything else right now.

That said, now I have a headache so I am taking some aspirin and some water/milk/something so I can continue to be all the badass. And going to bed on time. Because that's what badasses do. They know their limitations and manage them till they dance a little jig. Ahem.
