jadesfireI have written today, although it's scaring me a little. Just over 300 words of original fic which is kind of giving me palpitations and makes me happy at the same time. It sucks, of course (see icon) but I can see something of the shape of it now, and how to stitch up what I've got so I can go on. We'll see what happens.
Other than that, it's been a very quiet day. We did hold a 2 minute silence, and we did ring the bell for it, but I'm not sure how many students twigged what was going on. Apparently it's hard to tell in a library :( But we knew, and that's what counts.
One excellent thing at the moment is that my eating is getting right back on track. Regularlisteners readers will know that food is one of my big Bete Noirs, and this last week has been horribly hard for it. Cooking some really nice meals seems to have been the key to getting me back on track, as well as some panicked calls to J when I'm out on my own and Just Want Food. Whether I'm hungry or not, whether I'll enjoy it or not, I don't care. I get it into my head that I must eat or... Well, I don't know what will happen, but I won't like it. Anyway, I've been leaning heavily on J and eating the yummy food he's been cooking and I'm starting to feel like I might be able to handle this after all. Possibly. Some day. Remind me to type up the kheema curry recipe for y'all, because it's fab, cheap and great comfort food.
Next week is shaping up to be...stressful...so I'm going to need my new-found eating Zen. On the plus side, since we probably won't be able to go out anywhere, I should get lots of writing and recording done. Always a silver lining. Also, my mother is coming to Oxford and bringing me a crochet hook and some yarn. ALL my friends knit, or so it seems, so it'll be nice not to feel like the odd one out. Which reminds me, another excellent thing was my lovely lunch with said knitters, a regular occurance that has rapidly become the highlight of my week. Ooh, and I got my first book through Book Mooch so that was also awesome. And I even did some work ;)
So yes, all in all (and appart from gross over-use of the word 'so'), it's not such a bad week after all.
What about everyone else? Is it all downhill to the weekend now?

Date: 2009-11-11 11:30 pm (UTC)Ooooh yay, original fic! I'm always super excited when the fanfic authors I like say things about origfic because I can't wait to see what they do with it. And I know your stuff isn't ready to be shown yet-- that's fine-- I'm just happy that it's coming along.
Yay for food being back on track! *pompoms* And yay for yarn and crochet hook! I hope you like playing about with yarn! :)
Ooooh, book mooch! Let us know what you think of it after you've used it a bit? Because I've heard of it before but never from someone who's taken advantage of it....
And you even did work! Yay!
For me, this week is. I'm doing lots of thinking on various thoughts that have been rumbling around in the back of my head for a while. So work is actually a nice place to escape from my head. But I'm looking forward to the weekend and being able to (hopefully) finish this draft of my Leverage fic. So thinks are going well, I suppose. also with the overuse of the word 'so' :P
