So I didn't get it finished last night, but less because of tired and more because I ran out of thread and didn't feel like putting on more. Today, then! Along with some more words in White Lightning, at least getting through these Julien scenes and over to the next Jackie scene, that ought to take me through my word count minimum.

I got my Graze box today! It all looks quite tasty. I started with the one I didn't think I would like first, and I'm actually turning out to quite like it. I have three invite codes free if anyone wants one (US only, sorry. :( ) and while I'm not sure I'll stick with this forever, it's definitely fun. It's probably not much more expensive than assembling these myself, either. The portions are fucking tiny, though. I've gotten better about my snack size portions, so I'm going to try to make this box (each box comes with four different snacks) last eight snacks, but that's still about four days for every two weeks at most. On the other hand if I like these, no reason I can't assemble my own.

Anyway. Blegh. Tonight... actually, I don't know what I'm doing tonight. Potentially watching PoI, SHIELD, and Lost Girl while doing handcrafts and figuring out some place to put the goddamn CDs that have been in the living room for ages. I also need to put the skeletons back into the closet garage, the last Halloween decorations left out. And I might as well get the Christmas lights out while I'm at it, so they're there. Then, if I get my words done today, I can leatherwork or mend things while I TV. Otherwise I think it'll just be picking up downstairs/upstairs. Ponder.

Still need to check in. Self, that is something you do today. No more delaying.

Apparently I have inadvertently had maybe 600 calories of food all day. Which is, I suppose, what I get for subsisting for half the day on handfuls of nuts and one of the snacks in my graze box. I'm used to thinks with chocolate sauce having many calories! On the other hand, that explains why I feel floaty. I don't think I've done this in years.

(For the record and so you can glare at me for the next couple days, this morning's breakfast was a handful of cashews because I had cashews left and I couldn't quite stop eating them. Okay, fair enough. I got to work, I ate 1/3 to 1/4 of the jalapeno nut thing in my graze box, because I found it surprisingly tasty but only in small quantities. Then I had a couple Hershey's nuggets with almonds. Then I had the pretzels in chocolate dip for lunch because I figured, hey, chocolate dip, that's calorific and I'll eat something better later. And later. And later. And then around 3.15 I realized, shit, I haven't eaten anything and I just went down the hill for tarot and back up again. So I had some challah and mozzarella sticks.)

Yeah, now I'm eating a big fat dinner of macaroni, cheese, fruit juice, and whatever else I can find, so I am getting the REST of the day's calories and nutrients. But note to self: stop trying to subsist off nuts, no matter how tasty they are. You are not a squirrel.

Got through page 18 and I think onto half of 19 today in Twilight Watch, and another page on Faust. Russian seems to be increasing as the words repeat, a bit, but also I'm getting used to word order going in funny directions. German... I don't even know about German. I'm able ot pick out weird translations, anyway? Possibly I should have started on something a little less... Faust. Anyway. That happened, and I got my writing done and a bit over, and I got all the side panels stitched onto my new pouch purse thing. So that's done, and tonight can be some combination of mending, studying my new tarot decks (someone introduced me to Ciro Marchetti and they are EVIL), and sewing leather. Not a bad way to spend the night. Plus TV, of course.

elaying.
