Oh, now the boy's eating peanuts in front of me, that's just mean. And Piratey. I have to get blood drawn today, I'm not too sure if I have to fast for a thyroid re-check but better safe than sorry? But still hungry. And there are tasties in the kitchen and I can't have any of them.

After a second night of getting a decent amount of sleep I am inexplicably still sleepy, but at least less so than when I started. And I did get all the goddamn virtues mostly done! (And then Anna came up behind me and cleaned up after me, so.) And I got the edits done, and I still haven't finished with the bracket notes but I'll turn that in today and then I'll kill off the dime novel. And this weekend around blogging I guess I'll work on the first blazer because why not. And. AND. In plenty of time for Portland, I have gotten the coin and key pins that they were selling a while back. I can pin them on my blazer!

Also last night, when I realized I did not in fact have the energy to do any cleaning and it was time to curl up in bed with a book, I ended up picking up Sword Dancer again, because why not. And devoured it in about two hours, because it's a short book and because apparently I still love it as much as I did initially. So I guess I know what I'm reading for the next week or so. Irritatingly, I only have books 1, 2, 4, and I think 5 out of 6. At least they're on Kindle, though that's ALSO going to irritate me. Maybe they're in the lending library.

(Unless anyone out there has Sword-Maker, because I know that's one of the two I'm missing. Can't remember if I'm missing either Sword-Born or Sword-Sworn.)

Um. There was some grandpa news as well, but I don't feel up to sharing that right now. I will say that people are trying to talk me out of visiting, which is only making me more convinced that they need my zen. Which, distanced from my daily responsibilities and giving myself permission to focus on what's there and not my usual stuff? That's a lot of zen.

Still gonna pick up that sutras book and keep it in mind when I go. I have some gold in my HabitRPG character purse anyway.

Short, choppy paragraphs:

Got to the bottom of page 62 on Twilight Watch. Still have enough comprehension to be able to read short sentences, or clauses within sentences, for myself. Still don't have enough vocab nor, yet, enough recall to be able to write this shit on my own, but. Getting there.

I did remember to go down to the used bookstore division of Malaprops (or it used to be, don't know if it's still owned by the same person/people) and look for Sword-Maker. And found it! And picked it up and the first three omnibus editions of the Cheysuli chronicles. I swear I used to have these. I bet my siblings stole them. They have, or did have pretty much my same taste in books. Therefore periodically when I got home from college my shelves would be empty.

Made an appointment to get my hair highlighted for Portland. I think the last thing I have to do for Portland other than that is get my other pair of generic fancy shoes. Maybe. The actual only last thing I really essentially have to do is buy damn pantyhose, but. Even made a packing list. Okay, the actual actual .... no, the shoes and pantyhose or at least just pantyhose are the last things I have to buy. There's also the sewing of things.

I am so tired you guys. I am exhausted and all I want to do for the next week is curl up with a book. Still looking forward to this trip home to DC (only not to DC proper anymore, heh) because then I will be able to only curl up with my Mommy and a book. And no doubt many animals, because her house is full of them. It's a family trait.

I'm actually looking forward for Grimm to come back just so I have shinies on my TV screen again. And by shinies I mean Sasha Roiz and Christian Lagadec, mostly. Unless they start giving Claire meatier screen time.

So tired.
