Somehow Thursday crept up on me and I haven't yet dumped G&M into email yet argh. I mean, at least there's still a fair bit of time to do it, but still argh. On the plus side we're halfway through Grimm already, even if all the back half is loaded with royal conspiracy bullshit. On the other other hand, I have tonight uninterrupted to work on it and Anna's blocked a good chunk of today off, so between the two of us we should be pretty damn able to work it.

It's weird. Today's the first day I've been both well enough and rested enough to do exercises. I haven't felt too much of a discernible effect, though that might be because between the exhaustion and illness all the various causes of feeling off are getting mixed up together. Still, I don't think it will be too hard to get back. I hope. I will try?

Even with that, actually, I've somehow managed not to put on all but half a pound of what I've lost in the last couple weeks. I don't understand it either. Weight loss, how the hell does it work. My number hasn't been this low in months.

Heading into Mentalist episodes I haven't seen yet, so this ought to be interesting. I have some vague notion of what happened after I stopped watching, but I'm not sure of any of the other little things and Red John. Ugh. And argh. And other such noises. Between this and the Person of Interest catch-up my brain is going to be reeling with conspiracies and players and it's all going to slop over into Grimm. So many damn moving pieces to take care of. I honestly don't know how I'm doing this. Apart from sheer luck.

Right. Time to get my tired ass moving, I guess.

My hands look like a circus clown puked on them. That's what my aunt has now told me this scattered, multicolored look is, clown puke. It amuses me particularly because of the "technicolor yawn" euphemism for vomiting. (Look, I remembered the e!) Oh my god, my hands are wrinkly and covered in dye.

I also have nine shirts tie-dyed and marked with the amounts of dye and urea I used for each, and I did not tie-dye the entire kitchen, so I consider it a win. Also, note to self: 1/2 hour soda soaks are all well and good, but for god's sake WRING YOUR SHIRTS OUT BETTER WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OUT, WOMAN. That's half your mess problem there, wring the damn things out or you will slop dye all over the place. I need to print up a copy of the tie-dye riff and scrawl notes all over it. So far it looks like more dye = darker color, more urea = deeper color, but I'm not sure yet. Need half a cup more urea to check. And to boil the fuck out of the shirts.

Oof. Time to brush teeth and crash hard. Japanese corrections and catching up on the writing I meant to do tonight until tie-dye ran late... all happens tomorrow.
