*waves weakly* Whoever's nicked my sleep quota, please return it asap. My eyelids feel like sandpaper and my vision keeps unfocussing. Which is tricky when my job is to stare at a computer screen all day. This should be fun.
After last week was a total disaster, mood-wise, I'm determined to do better this week, if only to restore my confidence in the idea that yes, I do have a brain after all. There's the usual 'more in hope than expectation' list under the cut, but I thought I'd resurrect my Things That Are Good list, since that cheered me up so much earlier in the year.
1. Our bedroom now looks like a bedroom-come-study, rather than the place old boxes go to die.
2. Lunch out with my mother at Brasserie Blanc yesterday. Wonderful food, fantastic service, and I have a new favourite restaurant in Oxford.
3. We got rid of two HUGE piles of boxes to parents yesterday, so that we're actually starting to be able to see the floor in the living room.
4. We've sold over 30 things on Ebay, and a dozen or so books to Blackwells, netting us a pretty good total, which should off-set all the meals out we had during the move...

major_jim, bless him, got up early to give me a lift to work this morning so I didn't get wet. Have I mentioned lately how awesome he is?
6. People read and liked my Big Bang! I haven't had much of a chance to read over the weekend, but hope to get down to it in my lunch hour today - it'll stop me going out and spending money and eating things I shouldn't.
7. After a truly awful start to the morning, weather-wise, the sun is now coming out.
8. I have some gorgeous, inspiring art for my![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
artword fic, which I intend to get finished this week. I've also had reassurance that my top sekkrit fic doesn't suck, and that it's not the story that I've finally lost my marbles on (it's gonna happen some day...)
9. I'm taking next week as holiday, since I've got the days, I won't get paid for them and I don't want to work on my birthday. A week to sleep sounds like just what the doctor ordered.
10. I have already processed 4 books this morning, and it's not quite 10 o'clock. Hopefully I can keep up the pace, and more or less clear my shelves by the end of the week. Then I can tackle the other shelves, that still have problems on them that I inherited from the last person to do this job.
(bonus)11. WE GET INTERNET THIS WEEK! In theory at least. I'm not holding my breath, but I am letting myself hope...
That's not bad, is it? And I do feel better for it. Now, onto the to-do list:

How's everyone else? I know some of you had rotten weeks, and some of you had good ones. What went well? What's going to be better this week? Let's see if we can get Monday cheered up a bit, shall we?
