Found a book mirror

My sleep schedule is off to a bad start this week, because I didn't give myself enough lead up to adjust after lots of sleeping this weekend. I think I'm still not fully healthy either, but my guess is that I won't be until I finish this year. Working at a school is tough on anyone's immune system and mine's never been the best. I know what I need to correct to take better care of myself, eating consistently and sticking with going to bed at a decent hour.

Last night, I was just silly as I started the newest Vorkosigan book over dinner and went oh yes. Ivan has always been one of my favorites, because I understand him and I love Tej and this book. I meant to sleep early but didn't want to wait until after work to read more, so stayed up reading then overslept. Bujold is one of those authors like Pratchett where I can't read just one chapter. Ivan is hitting all these feelings for me of figuring out your expectations versus others and holding onto happiness as well as making it for yourself. Also how key it is to define your life for yourself, that's a theme that runs through all the Vorkosigan books.

Then there was good RP and I ended up writing a fic for the Multifandom Women Comment ficathon: I don't look back. The Dark Knight Rises, Selina/Bruce, PG for violence. Later today I'll post it up on Ao3.

I'm lucky that my mornings are flexible and that people at work are understanding, I just hate starting off late. Tonight I plan on going to bed early and taking better care of myself as tomorrow is going to be long. I'm teaching research partly in French and have a meeting at the other campus. Next week is my school's Spirit Week, which I have no idea what to expect though yesterday did work for me. Then I get break, I'd really forgotten how broken apart a school's schedule can be. I was able to sort out a number of things that I had been fretting over and had a lot of good reactions, one negative that balanced out. I also discovered a great librarian group that makes me happy as I've been needing more ways to connect with librarians.
