Okay, then. Note to self: review the genitive case of Irish things.

It's another one of those days when I keep thinking I should have more things to say, but I don't. Yesterday was productive? I discovered that it takes me about 10 minutes to do line edits on 500 words, which roughly gives me (exaggerating at every step for the Unknown Unknowns) 3 weeks to do Twisted Thread. Which means the aforementioned weasel attack but fuck you, weasels, I have shit to do. And these are definitely weasels, not wargs or direwolves. They're eminently dealable. So, that happened, and I got a good chunk, maybe halfway into the Haven essay that I mean to post on Thursday, and I got a fair bit into Person of Interest 1x03. So that should be drafted in plenty of time too and could it be that I'm actually getting a handle on things? No, surely not.

In an equally but less obviously important category of getting shit done yesterday, actually, I went up to bed early and sat and read a chunk of the first Matthew Swift book. Again. Because goddammit I needed some time to sit and just read a book and rest, and it was glorious. And then I went to sleep early! Still hit the snooze button a few times this morning, but otherwise got up early and did stuff and will be leaving on time and so on and so forth. (Also managed to calculate the time I need to leave to get to the bus station and where in the category of across the street from my drop-off it is. Go me!) I now feel rested and ready to tackle the day, something I haven't felt in ... well, a while, before this weekend anyway. Sunday was also a much needed day of fucking off.

... of course then I go into the kitchen to do a last couple of dishes before I leave for work and get distracted taking stock of and decanting my spices into their use-jars. Come on, self. Today is a week day, which means day job and writing, not domestic goddessing. Wake up now. Let's get going.

(... wait, what's with the missing icons on DW? This have anything to do with last night's crash? Eh, further investigation at work! ... oh, wait, there it is. Never mind.)

Well, a while back I ordered a few shirts from this one place that had some cheap shirts that I hoped were inexpensive rather than cheap. No, they actually are cheap, they're fairly thin and I'll be surprised if they wear well, and probably they're meant to be worn maybe once a month because other people rotate out their clothes/closets more than I do and therefore don't put their clothes through the washer as much as I do. But it's even more irritating because these were pretty much the kinds of shirts I wanted. Simple long-sleeve scoop-neck and cowl-neck shirts. Because somehow I've gotten used to being cleavagy.

Ah well. Maybe I'll just keep collecting shirts and end up being able to rotate out my shirts that much. Or something. I would like to find other inexpensive clothing sites than Kohl's, though, that have shirts I actually like. Ideeli is good for some things but it's so hit or miss.

Speaking of clothes and things, I need to get my earrings out and actually hanging and things. Not entirely sure where, hell, maybe I do need a jewelry armoire, but I need to get that done anyway. There was a vague sort of a gesture involving picture frames and backing. And I just now realized. I could do a dreamcatcher and hang my earrings on that. See, Jag, you can be smart.

Now let's see if I can also be productive today.
