That was actually a boatload of Russian that... somehow, I didn't find as difficult as I expected. We'll see just how good I did. If good, then I suppose the trick is making it STAY in my brain. Along with the Japanese, Spanish, French, German, and Quenya. Or something.

Feeling sort of better today. Not anticipating later in the day when I run out of energy, but feeling better. Despite the cat waking me up at five in the fucking morning, thank you, Mikey, that was not appreciated. And despite the nightmares. We won't go into them but they were fucking horrible. Did not want.

Today... god knows. I do not get a snow day because the world is not that nice, but I do get to go in late, which is all right. And most of yesterday's crap got cleared out except for emails, and I'm not going into work with a horrible workload ahead of me. I should tidy things up somewhat, but that's not so bad. So we'll see how much I can get done. I'm thinking I kind of need to pare down my writing schedule somewhat, at least as far as scenes per week is, but at least I'm on top of my word count? God, why is it only Wednesday. It feels like it should be Thursday at the very least.

Friday the boy and I get to go to Best Buy for a minor electronic need and I get to drool over toys. Hopefully I don't actually come out of the store with anything. I don't need to get anything right this second omg, despite my constant simmering depressed/just plain bad mood craving retail therapy like a tech toy junkie and my complete lack of willpower when it comes to shiny tech things plus instant gratification. I still don't need to get anything right this second. I need a break, rest, and sleep, before I make any big purchases.

... actually, as far as convincing and logical arguments go, that one worked pretty well. Huh. Maybe I am growing up.

Nah.
