Come on, Jag, you just got done getting over your last wrenched back, don't be stupid and try to impress anyone by sacrificing safety for speed when you're lifting that 45 lb box of books off the UPS cart. And then wrench your back. Idiot.

And stop fondling the fibers and do your Japanese. Yes, it's silk and bamboo and wonderful and soft and pretty. It's also not going anywhere anytime soon, you do not need to grope it. Also, you have ridiculous amounts of pretty colored fiber at home. Come on.

Things to do tonight, in no particular order

1. Move curry and stew out of pots and into freezer/smaller pots/etc.
2. Wash Cheetara costume for the last time and hang to dry
3. Wash out dripping tubs
4. Spin some. Maybe the bamboo, maybe not.
5. Write some
6. Clean some?
7. Wash fiber, set twist

Getting 8 or so hours of sleep really, really helped. I'm not going to even try tackling heavy subjects just yet in fiction or otherwise, although I am editing, but for the sake of my stability I'm not touching anything heavier than maybe the miners coming out tomorrow. Starting tonight, but going into tomorrow.

The hard part about Japanese today, I think, or maybe just in general, isn't even this grammar point. Although I'm going through all the exercises anyway, it's retaining what I learned through the week long hiatus and making my mind call it up when I need it. On top of the exhaustion, but that was yesterday, today doesn't seem to be so much a problem that way. We'll see what happens when I get to German tonight. Which, yes, I slept through last night. There was a lot of sleeping going on. Much needed sleeping.

Finishing a novel is still a damn good feeling. Like you've been carrying a 35 pound backpack (which I carried through most of high school, ow) on your back for many months and then all of a sudden you put it down and you can stand up straight again. And there's that feeling of relief, but also a feeling of emptiness. You'd just gotten used to it, and now it isn't there anymore! This might be why I constantly have one project on go, the need to have that backpack on my back all the time. It's not necessarily a bad thing, I think. As long as you don't let it become a bad thing. Right now, two of those backpacks need to be gone through and tidied up, and I think I've abused that metaphor to death. But after that I have one more novel to get out, and then I think I might take a try at not having any novels writing for a while, just editing and maybe self-publishing and self-marketing. Frightening thought.

I did, sad as it is to say, purchase tickets for the Supernatural Nashville con. It's my birthday present to me, since it's happening around my birthday, and I put it on credit card since that was almost paid off and that way I can pay it slowly over several months. Also, going by the past few years of precedence, that's the only chance I'll have to see those people, since they don't come to the cons I come to. Except Mark Sheppard. And finally, if I decide I don't want to go, there will definitely be people willing to take that ticket off my hands at what I paid for it. And what I paid hopefully includes greater opportunities to hang out with the actors and people, which is what I really go to cons for. Or at least, the smaller cons.

Right. Now I've done my Japanese, now I get to edit and poke at outlines, short stories, and maybe some Spanish. And eat merienda. And fondle fibers. I'm working on a 2ply yarn, I need to set my bamboo, and I really, really need to dye the wool I've already spun. I've also discovered that I enjoy knitting much more when it comes out looking like what it's supposed to, instead of looking like, well. A scarf. Or something else sort of shapeless. Which only means I need to start working on hats and arm warmers next. I know there's a simple pattern for arm warmers around here somewhere...
