Sleep did help some with the brain weasels. They’re still there, and they’re still not ignorable, but they’re quieter than last night, at least.
I’ve got a sink full of dishes I’m going to try to get cleaned, and a stack of recycles I’m going to try to get out. May see about going over to Home Depot to pick up a trio of 5gal buckets because they make awesome trashcans, because then I don’t have to carry the bag, I just take the entire bucket with the tied-shut bag in it, and it’s easier on my hands than the ties of the bag. Same reason for making an awesome bucket for recycles, because HANDLE.
I have the first segments of the story on a deadline, but I’m still not at word count. I may try to poke at that today. I want to get the scene-in-progress done for Transformation so I can post the next segment up. I have the Garak-and-Bashir scene-in-progress for The Butcher (and I need a better title for it, because no), and I have a letter to write for Aerit.
Food. I have a chunk of beef I tossed in the fridge to thaw, that I can cut off bits for in the rice pot. I have tortellini with cook quickly and are delicious. I have three of the mini crumb cakes left. A stack of frozen waffles. Bread. Potatoes. Cheese and butter and cream. I need to eat something, no matter that my appetite is absent.
I have a bottle of my favorite juice (CranTangerine), and a filter full of water within easy reach, so I’m not worried about having enough to drink. I can also easily refill mugs when they’re empty (I have three right now, one for water, one for juice, one for when I get up to go refill with cider and heat it in the microwave).
And despite the chores and writing stuff that I have on my to-do list (which is a running list, so those aren’t a “must do today” so much as a “must do some part of this today”), I may well begin today with putting on the Walking With series and crochet my way through a row of blanket. Or more, if I can manage it. Because I want to get that done soon, so I can pack it up with a few other things to send off to @deadcatwithaflamethrower for the winter holidays.
(Definitely doing something that lets me put on headphones, because asshole neighbors have decided I need to listen to polka again. FUCKERS.)
