Okay, let's try this again. This time without the having mini-breakdowns spontaneously throughout the day at every little stressor. Paperwork turned in, nothing yet to do on the house front. I need a break somewhere in here. I don't seem to be likely to get one.

One step at a time. Putting languages back in, cleaning up other things, other obligations. I keep thinking I need to pick up the apartment more than I do, but, no, it's actually pretty clean apart from needing vacuuming and dishes done, which is always the case. Admittedly at this point it's pretty clean only because half the shit's packed and most of the time I don't have the energy to do more than sit and click around on pixel pets or push through the writing I need to get done, but hey, at least it's staying clean.

I need to start looking at patterns this week and cutting material this weekend. I don't want to, but I do need to, if I'm going to have new costumes for Dragon*Con. Even two new costumes. At least these should be relatively simple costumes to build. I've got the unitard I need to make for Cheetara and that's it, and then the Tron costume. All the accessories and things can stay the same. And the Tron costume is the more complicated one.

I want to go back to bed so much. I couldn't sleep for more than a couple hours at a time last night. And I even went to bed early. And if this sore throat and congestion doesn't let up I'm going to kill something. Well. Monday, getting through Monday. Then I can get through Tuesday. And one day at a time.

Letzte Woche hatten Sie, Ihre Partnerin/Ihr Partner und einige andere Leute viel zu tun. Finden Sie heraus, wer was tun konnte, wollte, sollte und musste.

e.g. Was wollte Adrian tun? Er wollte mehr Sport treiben.
Was konnte Bettina tun? Sie konnte jeden Tag genug schlafen.
Was wollte Bettina tun? Sie wollte mit ihrer Diät beginnen.
Was konnte Adrian tun? Er konnte seine Arbeit fertig machen.
Was wolltest du tun? Ich wollte meine Geschichten schreiben.
Was musstest du tun? Ich musste ... auf Deutsch, wie man schreibt "file paperwork"?


Bits and pieces of German today. On account of the whole lack of sleep thing. My left calf is trying to kill me, and I'm not entirely sure why.

I definitely need more sleep because right now I'm seriously doubting my ability to learn Russian, get in shape, or do anything other than punch keys on a keyboard in some semblance of order. Maybe not even that. On the plus side, no new house things to deal with.

... Oh, wait. New email. But not a new thing to deal with, just a "Got your paperwork putting it through now" email. I can live with that.

I'd really, really like to get more sleep. I can feel the wolves attempting to turn dire. And it's daylight. It is, in fact, the exact opposite of the hour of the wolf. Fuck you, wolves.
