Grumpy days, grumpy days...

[oyceter]

I walked by a dead rat on the street yesterday, which basically sums up my entire week.

Things have been dead at work, but the bad sort of dead that leads to endlessly refreshing of LJ and boredom, all while knowing that in a few days, everything will come crashing down on your head. All the projects that I made time for ended up being late, which means instead of coming in and being busy, they will all come in at once in a mad rush (that would be yesterday).

I end up going home tired from work. Then I don't want to do the dishes or clean the kitchen, which leads to not cooking, which leads to eating things that aren't great for me, which leads to feeling out of shape. And I've missed wushu twice already, and I really want to go see it, at the very least to make friends and get some sort of workout. Maybe next week.

Of course, everything in my personal life is crazy like a crazy thing.

And I have actually been writing instead of reading, which is about a hundred times more nerve-wracking and neurotic and reminds me why I don't write to begin with. It's actually at the point in which I am sick of my own neuroticness! (and I have a high tolerance for my own neuroticness)

Oh well. Looking forward to a weekend in Yosemite next month, as well as sitting down tonight, cleaning the kitchen, reading Have His Carcase for the first time and possibly making bean soup.

To stop complaining about everything, here is Happy List #5462

1. I have jeans with sparkly things down the sides, and they are cute and sparkly and flare!

2. Finding that I actually really like Have His Carcase so far after reading 2 1/2 Sayers books and failing miserably at liking them.

3. Frog socks! I'm sure it's been on the list before, but they still make me happy.

4. Saiyuki Gaiden reincarnation fic from edonohana! Actually, it more broke my heart than made me happy. But in a good way.

5. I help paint a house tomorrow! I am strangely intrigued by this, given that I never did much house-fix-it type stuff as a kid.

6. I spilled a little Shanghai on myself this morning when putting it on, so I can still smell the lovely lemongrass-tea-honeysuckle-ness of it now.

7. I finished my first crochet piece of clothing! It is beautiful! I am also too lazy to weave in all the ends, but oh well.

8. I think I shall go to Michael's today to buy yarn for sophia_helix and to get myself crochet thread to start a new project! Whoo!

What's made you happy lately?

If it's not too late, you should read Saiyuki before Gaiden, by the way.

Also, congratulations!!!!

Ah, _that's_ why I didn't understa -- gotcha.

And thank you!! Very much!

Oh yeah. Gaiden doesn't seem angsty at all until you've read Saiyuki, because it's one of those prequels in which you know what happens to everyone already, just not how they got there. And it kills!
