1. This weekend, I learned just how heavy washing for 2 people for 2 weeks is. Hint: very, especially when wet. On the plus side, we're now good for another fortnight, which is fine, because we might not get the machine repaired until next week. Thank goodness for friends and family!
2. I am definitely on the mend again (thank goodness), thanks to a pretty ruthless schedule of Get up-work-home-bedwithoutdinner. I mean, it's not much fun, but it's helping, even if I need to start work on getting the dinner in there somehow.
3. After umming and ahing, I'm definitely seeing Black Panther in 3D this week. It's a film I know I like, so it's a good chance to test how I get on with 3D before Infinity War comes out. I have a feeling that a) I will like it and b) it will freak me the hell out. I get serious hyperfocus when it comes to films, so the 3D might work for me visually, but be too much for my nerves. We shall see!
4. I have made the mistake of clearing all the low-hanging fruit in terms of jobs at work, and so am left mostly with the big, amorphous projects that I haven't quite worked out to break down into their constituent parts yet. I'm starting to think that I'm better off just working on them solidly for a day or two - I've always been better at sprints than marathons, and it might be better to just try and clear some, rather than chip away at them.
5. Speaking of which, thank you so much to everyone who voted in my fic poll and sent me down the too-much-research-for-a-ficlet path. Seriously. So. Much. Research. I'm reading Hawksmoor and have a book out of the library, for heaven's sake. So I'm afraid![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cesy is probably going to get the Ferrari fic before I plough my way through all the research material and work out how the hell to make it into a story! On the plus side, I managed to handwrite nearly 2 sides over lunch today, and it was flowing nicely, so maybe my fic-brain hasn't abandoned me after all, which is always a nice feeling.
