Feb. 7th, 2018 07:05 pmFeeling somewhat less like everything is lifting heavy rocks today. That said, I'm still taking the evening off from capoeira tonight because it's the after-work class, I'm tired, the boy is sick, and the house needs yet more cleaning. Actually now that I'm in the middle of it I don't think I'm tired so much as I am swinging on a scale of for a couple hours I'm exhausted, for a couple hours I have energy. Not bipolar but a pendulum settling to rest, more like. And if I could arrange the energetic times so I have two hours of energy in class I would but I'm not betting on it. Plus I need to get the house in order for Mom to come visit.
And apropos of nothing, sometimes the people from the chocolate store who rent office space from us bring us random chocolate, and it is glorious. Especially on a day when the unpleasant surprise was a large wholesale order that took up a chunk of my day with heavy lifting. Good business for the store but augh not what I wanted to do when I'm yo-yoing around the energy scale.
Thing. Stuff. I did realize, though, me before thyroid medication? For a year or so? Have a large yarn order, come home, collapse. Me today? Have a large yarn wholesaler order, deal with that and several other orders, write about 3k words, go grocery shopping for light on the stomach food and medicines for humans and cats, come home, make dinner, put away dishes, medicate cat, make dinner, chop pills up for cat, fetch thermometer for boy (healthy 37 degrees because he managed to switch it to celsius), and, um. Yeah, I did a lot. And I still feel like I could do more. But I'm not going to push it.
My CT Hsia books came, one of them does have the full text of the plays as I handed them to the Elf Lord to skim, I haven't looked at the other because work was absolute chaos but I intend to at some point tonight or tomorrow. They do look excellent though.
The Fae After Tomorrow is doing that thing that I described to Anna as 'where they're working from behind the curtain and I don't get to see until I set fingers to keyboard, and then only a few paragraphs at a time.' And when this happens it almost always makes for good story but damned if it isn't obnoxious as shit. Especially when it happens on top of a story I already started working on from outline, and then I have to figure out how to reconcile the two. Obnoxious. That said, I'm glad it's coming along. I don't think much will have to be rewritten. Background is definitely coming along for Starlight, I added some for Nerd Girls, and I'm working to figure out where I am in Long Road and orient and start writing the framing for that. Edits are progressing pretty damn quick. I feel confident and competent in my writing.
I may go to bed early again tonight but I feel better emotionally. Aware of the comedown but generally as though I am better, things are going to work their way to better. Things are going to be okay. I hope things are going to be okay, anyhow. Can't see the future, etc etc. But right now. Things are on a good track, and I like it.
