Short Irish lesson today, and a lesson in ordering from Ticketmaster, too: Chrome doesn't work. On the plus side, Quidam tickets ordered! Music Theory class signed up for! Now I just need to shuffle things around in the living room so getting out my damn guitar to practice isn't such a chore. Practicing is already a chore with endless scales, I don't need to wrestle with getting my guitar out, too. That'll probably happen tonight, though. Boy is out with a work thing and that means I get the house to myself to pick up and organize and get my head straight. Phone calls and mailing bills can happen when I get to work. As can outlining the rest of my Nano. Which I have no plot for. And a whole pile of crap in my backbrain, apparently.

Slowly getting organized. I keep forgetting how difficult it is to get organized after I get back from Dragon*Con. Although this year I'm doing better than last year, when I, um forgot to pay the rent 'cause I was out of town oops and nothing really bad happened but goddamn I felt dumb. This year it's been much more better.

Still too many things to do though. Which is why, I suppose, I make lists and check shit off. Should have done it a few days ago, but oh well. One step at a time. And a few more things to cross off the list.
