(no subject)
day 2 of the vacation. yesterday was nice, i even managed 15 minutes on the treadmill. that's not a lot obviously but i'm more into building the daily habit this month and that's easiest to do in small increments.
today i bought a new fall/winter coat, very classy and nice, not for the real winter but for pretty days. also this great medieval black lace sixties type dress. love love love it. bought some food: tacos tonight!
must do some laundry. yes, not precisely vacation stuff but i'll be happier when it's all tidy and decluttered and clean. so there will be puttering this week.
and i have some major editing to do. and fingers to cross. and toes.
and the next novel to choose, three ideas, one started, 2 not so much.
there will also be the big bookstore...not today as i am still feeling slow and sleepy and almost-but-not-quite crampy. so maybe tomorrow. maybe pier 1 as well because it's full of pretty pretties. yes, that's a technical term.
and dancing of course. some new bellydance moves i am learning.
and movies! beowulf...i wasn't sure but neil gaiman is one of the writers so i will give it a chance. and plus ray winstone is beowulf and he was will scralet in robin of sherwood so i am obligated. ;) i'd like to see elizabeth as well. and i'm not sure what else is out there. will have to check.
since some of this stuff isn't exactly vacation stuff i may be declaring the entire month of november a 'vacation' month. i've noticed, in just 2 days, i am doing a lot of the same stuff i usually do but i am being far gentler with myself and the demands and recriminations in my head. this is good. this should be cultivated!
