Happy birthday to [livejournal.com profile] mplscorwin!
Happy early birthday to [livejournal.com profile] theferrett!

Medical
Very little sleep last night. I think it's the Zonegran. *sigh* So. Exhaustion. Nausea. Little bit of brainfuckery. Little bit of coordination fuckery. Vision MOSTLY okay. EDIT: Okay, brainfuckery BAD.

Addendum re: Sleep
Sleep issue, once I actually got to sleep, was not helped by the fact that the cat opened the door at some point last night and settled on my legs. So every time I moved, I woke up about 35%. Just enough to go "Uh? Wha? Oh. Cat. Wha? CAT?!?!? Uh." and fall back asleep. Not enough to actually get up and remove the cat from the room.

No, not Jack. Max. The smart cat. Jack doesn't open doors. He only opens tampon boxes.

Wiki wiki wiki
54 documents and counting. One of the things I really like about this is that I can work the way I work - purely stream of consciousness - and then it can be sorted logically.

Spoiler City
Spent a big chunk of last night babbling to Adam about Shayara after the end of the story proper. [livejournal.com profile] phantom_wolfboy says, ""Books have ends. Stories don't." And he's right, dammit. I walk in story, but - I have to present books! Aaagh. I feel like I'm standing over my characters with a scalpel...

I have millenia of story. Shayara - the story, the comic or book that I am presenting to you - is just the one piece that I have chosen.

There's a reason that it bears the name of the city.

Wearing
Boring! Black T-shirt, jeans, "all about me" socks from Helly, purple bra and purple panties.

Reading
The Book of Flying by Keith Miller, and the past few months of Better Homes & Gardens.

Yes, I read BHG. Remodeling advice. Shut up.

Planning
Three-day weekend! Wow. That snuck up on me. Cool.

Rest. Lots of rest. And getting Elayna's room done.

You?

A piece of advice [livejournal.com profile] yasminke gave me ages ago, that she nicked from somewhere, has always stuck with me. I know Shayara is a huge project for you so you do this anyway. Keep everything you delete from that one particular story then you can use it later in another story, if you want, or keep it for the director's cut! It made me feel so much better instantly about deleting things, because they were no longer *gone*.

Oh, absolutely! I have two file cabinets. One is just Shayara.

Purple Bra and Panties are Rarely Boring!

The ones who wear them NEVER are.

Planning: Hoping I remember what my husband still looks like after he's been away for the better part of two weeks. :-) Dropping the spawn off at daycare. Much coffee/chai. And there's a Monk marathon on Monday.

My neighborhood is having a neighborhood block party. We got permission to close off the streets, we took up $$$ and hired a band, we are doing a BBQ thing. From our neighborhood you can see the fireworks from the river.

OMG LMAO and so on. Um, I used to have this cat named Simon. My roommate and I had to go away for a weekend, and when we came back, there were tampons EVERYWHERE. They'd been on a high windowsill shelf in the bathroom, and Simon somehow determined that THIS was the best box to knock down to show his annoyance.

But this is also a cat that ate condoms, so who knows what went on in his strange little head.

I bought myself a purple bra today and my very first black bra ever. I am proud. I went up a cup size though.... 36DD. >_
