For my own organization, because this is giving me troubles somehow, English parsing in a very clumsy fashion happens. Not actual parsing, but just labeling things so I know what they are and can sort it through in my head, because apparently I have a caterpillar brain today.

And we'll leave it at that because caterpillar brain and it took me enough to get that all figured out in all its parts.
Still not happy about the whole reorganizing everything I have in the cloud so far, but I'll deal. Probably by doing most of the rearranging during Human Target and Castle. Rassum frassum ARGH. And I'm jonesing for chocolate and this is really irritating me because I already had a brownie and a mint earlier today. Ugh.
On the plus side I got a decent bit of editing done today. I knocked down all my languages and made a healthy dinner and packed away a healthy bento for tomorrow. Plus did my exercise, all that stuff, so it's not like it was a bad or unproductive day, just an annoying one. And a tiring one.
And again I say, fuck you, caterpillars. I know this. If I just stop and breathe and think, I know this. So fuck you.
