Stupid bloody exception nouns. On the plus side, this is giving me practice at declining nouns, which is good.

The store where I got my Silk Spectre costume the first time seems to have gone bye-bye. Fortunately I checked in the costume and it's actually the same kind sold on Amazon, so that works. It's probably also the same kind sold half a dozen other places, so I can poke around and shop and get a backup if I really have to. Not quite what I wanted to do, but it'll work. It's actually a damn good costume base, I just need to fix the other things.

Actually got to bed on time last night, go me. Slowly dragging myself back into the finer details of routines. Languages are easier to do because they're relaxing and silly, exercise first thing in the morning is harder. I'm not awake, I just want to roll over and go back to sleep even if I've had, for me, a full night's sleep. And especially now that it's not so much a matter of making sure the door's unlocked and grabbing the iSis and staggering outside. Walking around a little before coming back and showering. Now it's weights, stretches, yoga, exercises first and then walking, and apparently that's harder. Still. Discipline! Is good for me. Routines changed at Lammas, they'll change again to winter routines at Samhain. Not sure what, specifically, winter routines will be, but I've got time to figure it out.

At some point today I need to poke the Beej to give me a refresher on the drop spindle. I think I've got the hang of wheel spinning to the point where it's pretty much just practice, so that can wait till I've got the rest of my wool carded from, oh, way back then. Or until someone hands me some other stuff and says "here, spin this." Which, given the store, is entirely possible. Beej/Aunt/Witch Queen; "Here, spin some bamboo." Me: "Augh slippery fine stuff omg I can't spin this into anything resembling yarn! *spins* oh, hey, I made yarn." But right now, drop spindle. So I can wander around Dragon Con with it and be Aeriel.
