( Gaeilge )

Okay. FINE. Last week was kind of fucked as far as routines went, with little things all over the place chipping away at my sanity, let's see how this one goes. Medium sized things? I've gotten to the point where I can lean on my routines if there are little things, and these weren't big things like people dying or anything (and it's really depressing that that's more than a permanent background possibility, the way friends of mine and friends and relatives of friends have been dying this year), but the car accident damaged my calm the rest of the day, and there was being sick on Monday, and. Generally, ugh.

But this weekend was nice. I got to rest, I got to pick up the house a little, I got to have a restful, productive birthday with lunch out and frozen yogurt and I got to say "It's my birthday, precious, and I wants it" not once but TWICE. And it WORKED. It was amazing. I went and bought that hip holster on ThinkGeek that I've been eyeing for several months now for my birthday present for me, so it wasn't that bad this weekend, overall. Mostly, I got to rest.

This week is going to be interesting. Mostly in the Murderboarding blogwork interesting, at least, I got most of Person of Interest done for this week over the weekend, and will probably finish it up today, but that's largely because tomorrow night's Grimm proposes to be full of conspiracy and metaplot and information and it will take us the bulk of the coming week to untangle the whole fucker. Goddamn season finales. Though at the same time I'm looking forward to seeing Roiz and Frain on the screen at the same time.

Aand. Other stuff. Today I'm going to try to get Gods & Monsters hammered out into a draft during work, I was trying to do that yesterday but the main character threw me a few curveballs. As she is wont to do, but grr. And that way I don't have to worry about that, either, while I'm dealing with Grimm. The rest of it can wait another day or so. Well, at least another day. Here's hoping.

And lo, I even managed to squeeze a bit of Russian in at the end of the day, despite the day being full of Grimm blog updates and work. Mostly work. But also some Grimm blog updates in the form of how the hell did we get this haphazard about updating the Wesen index? Never mind wondering where the hell we pulled these historical references from, not that they're not probable. The next time we start fussing over historical references I'm writing down goddamn episode citations.

Anyway. Oh! And for my birthday a well I got lambsear, alumroot, and ecinacea! Which has reminded me that it's probably about time to transplant the cukes and peppers out into the raised bed, on account of it's probably done frosting over at night. And that ought to free up at least a couple of pots. Actually that'll free up. Eight pots. Eight of the bigger ones, well holy crap. I wonder what I should start growing in them. Probably herbs, on account of they're sizable pots and I can just pot-grow herbs and pluck from the bigger pots and let them be as they are. This will require some planning and some talking over with the boy. I'm tempted to get broccoli seedlings again and try those now that we've got the fence up and the damn groundhog can't get at them, but at the same time I don't know if it'll end up being too warm for those. Being as that's a cool weather plant. Might have to wait on those till later. As I was telling Anna, I'd say I need a life except this is a damn fine one that I have.

FOOD FROM THE GROUND, Y'ALL. FOOD FROM THE GROUND.

So, this evening I have a Schedule. Because I can be all organized and shit. Gardening work will take up a good 30 minutes after I get home, on account of watering all the things and tying up the tomato plants and figuring out what else needs transplanted into the damn garden. Possibly trimming things, definitely trimming off the leaves from the half-wooded basil. Then Person of Interest and seeing if I can churn out the last 15 minutes of this week's episode in an hour, after which it'll just be working on Gods and Monsters for the rest of the night. And the hell with this, I am ordering food in because I have birthday money and much lighter heating bills now that it's finally fucking spring into summer and I don't want to worry about cooking, which I'd have to do otherwise because there's no defrosted chicken. So, ordering takeout. And getting all that shit done so the only deadline I have to worry about for the rest of the week is Grimm.

Yeah, it's a good life if you don't weaken? But sometimes it's a just plain good life. Like right now. My garden's growing, I've got writing work I enjoy that other people seem to be enjoying too, I hope. Life's doing all right.
