Well that was my whole morning disrupted by waking up an hour late. I have no idea what happened to my alarm clock, it was still set, but it definitely didn't wake me up. So, no exercise for me this morning either, which is mildly irksome. I might actually at that rate take my Japanese books to work and do that at work so that I don't have to do it at home, and can do some dance exercise there. Ugh.

That said, at least what distracted me from Russian was much more pleasant house stuff! Things and stuff, I'm definitely in that stage where I don't want to jinx it, but there should be some word Monday.

Getting back into my routines is sort of working, though exercise needs a kick in the ass. I want to say, another week working on that, except my routines are about to be thoroughly and immediately disrupted. Ugh. And there's a shitpile of things on my to-do list that I want to do, most of which can't be done until this weekend or next week. Which leaves me with writing and knitting, neither of which are terrible things, but still argh. It's all incredibly frustrating. At least I got some more analysis done last night, as well as some caps for the other analysis to go up on Murderboarding. And if we get really carried away (probably not in the immediate future, though) soon there will be Haven analysis and dotplots to go with the Grimm analysis. We can blame Haven coming back for that one, along with Dwight Hendrickson what the fuck did you do to your hair? His beautiful long locks! They're all gone! Well, all short now. I has a sad. I liked his golden retriever puppy look.

Actually, in the lines of Haven is coming back, I went and re-read some of my Haven fanfics for Yuletide from last year. I'd forgotten how much I liked them, which isn't always the case for me after I'm done with a fic. I've avoided going back and re-reading most of my Once Upon a Time fic, for example, but I'm still really proud of the Haven stuff. And if anyone has any Dwight or Duke or Nathan fics to rec (gen, please, I'm not yet ready to dip my toe in the Duke/Nathan or OT3 pool) I'd love to read some more. The whole universe is really fun to wallow around in. Today, though, finishing up some old WIPs. And for the forseeable future. Dammit. I will not get distracted. Really. I promise. XD

ETA: SD;KJSDHFAGK;JDFHGSKDJFS WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME THIS THING I WAS GOING TO POST ABOUT BUT NOW WON'T BECAUSE IF I'M HAVING STALKING URGES THIS BAD OTHER PEOPLE MIGHT TOO. WHY WAS THIS NOT LISTED AMONG MY ASSETS IN THE FIRST PLACE. AUGH.

Okay, I have now found a couple storage tumblrs (though if anyone else can rec me one I'd appreciate it) and gotten some good ideas for some DIY projects for Old Hotness, which still needs a name. Most of this along the lines of storage organization, but some of it is also just cool repurposing shit. If anyone has an idea for a thing or a DIY project to store both hook and stud earrings, too, I'd love to hear it. So far all I can think of is an earring tree, but I can't find a really nice DIY pattern and all the storebought ones are kind of bleh. Well, most of them. I also need to figure out how the fuck I'm going to refinish my crafts table. Isn't there some kind of spray-laminate you can use that people use to cover their penny floors/desks/things?

Packing is definitely going to happen this weekend. Packing and getting rid of shit. I need to put my foot down, or at least have a serious talk with the boy, about things like the Hoyle games CD for Win 3.1 or whatever it is that we've had for years that we really, really don't need anymore. Along with a few other things that just need to be tossed. Actually, mostly, we just need to go through that.

This has all resulted, of course, in me bouncing with energy and needing to CRAFT ALL THE THINGS. Which goes right along with yesterday's WRITE ALL THE THINGS in an utterly unproductive way. I actually also suspect that if I'm not careful I'm going to hit mania, possibly upswing bipolar type mania, and hypergraphia all at once from lack of focus and excess of energy and the culmination of months of upheaval and never knowing when it's going to end. So, self, this means you have to be careful. Got it? Good. No new craft projects yet, and if a brilliant idea strikes, write it down. There'll be time. There are no impending crafts deadlines, only writing ones. And those aren't all that impending either. I need to take a breath and just remember to keep notes in a couple places for great consolidation, and then slowly work on projects one at a time. Come on, self. Also, stop trying to schedule shit in the future, you know what's coming up. Nanowrimo. Yuletide. Be reasonable.

(This rarely, if ever, works. But I can at least try to put the brakes on.)

At any rate. I've done German and shipping, and now it's time to get back to filing and other more immediate do it or it'll rise up and drown you type tasks. Because... well. Sometimes I really do need to put the brakes on my brain and stop trying to do everything at once, and breathe. This is definitely one of those times. I also kind of wish my guitar weren't packed, that's awfully settling. But maybe knitting will help, too.
