Tick tick:
1. Typed up plot points outline (insufficient ugh) for next book (tentatively The Little Fox and the Pig but needs research. Haha. Ugh).
2. Had a pleasant and soothing bath with the major England-background research book, although of course in the course of plotting it turns out I also now need a similar book about 1960s Communist China, FML. The bath was good though.
3. Have assembled a fairly distracting mental exercise for dealing with aggressive socialism thoughts arising from research & current affairs, because angrily bellowing about how to fix the country's housing problem won't actually fix the country's housing problem and will only serve to get me into unwanted conversations.
4. Figured out the starch/liquid ratio for successful purin, I think. I can't check because of one of the entries from the DEFINITELY NOT TICK TICK list.
5. It turns out that drawing an inherently childish stick person cartoon of my frustrations yesterday was exactly the right way to stop them bothering me.
Decidedly not tick tick:
1. Haven't continued with merman noodling yet, but have a little time to, and also probably some quiet moments at work to. Hopefully.
2. Despite having eaten more calories by this point today than is traditional, my body has decided this is NOT SUFFICIENT, and instead of grumbling at me noisily it has moved to Defcon 2 and makes me lose consciousness temporarily whenever I try to stand up for more than a few seconds, which ISN'T MAKING THE TASK OF GETTING FOOD PARTICULARLY EASY, YOU STUPID SHITBAG BODY.
3. Can't concentrate ffs
who left me in charge of myself?,
good,
research,
food,
plans,
bad,
writing
