Plan for the day: plan for the week.
I woke up early enough today to watch the sun burning off some thick fog right now. It is a lovely, lovely feeling to wake up early and super rested and just lie in bed, feeling happy! This week has been busy but really quite good.

It is a nice day out, and I should go outside into its niceness.
At first, I was annoyed for a hot minute that my lunch date canceled last-minute today, but it would have involved an hour on the train each way, and now suddenly my whole day has opened up sufficiently for me to actually clean my kitchen and make real Cincinnati chili for

This cafe: not as interesting as the grocery store line with the NDE survivor.
I'm not feeling angsty, I just like this icon. I'm a few days into my "OMG EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE ALL THE TIME" fortnight; today I accomplished probably the quickest successful IKEA run of all time (30 minutes from the time they let us in to hefting my flat-pack into a friend's car). Therapy in a few; just finished up the memoir class, the ( Read more... ) -
This moment to arise; or: Future Esther depends on you
Getting rid of things: JUST THE BEST. This not only includes the old year, last of its name, but a bunch of junk I had cluttering my apartment and my life in general: old t-shirts I was never going to wear again and chintzy Judaica I was never going to use and small notebooks that I needed to let go of, not to mention just... pieces of paper and ( Read more... ) -
"Damn, you know what I forgot to do today? I forgot to feel the president's glands."
This line from The West Wing is haunting me at the moment. I have caught some sort of unpleasant something, which is probably 90% being on my feet all day with not enough food and liquids at Friend Trudy's Shop and 10% my firm belief that my immune system takes any mention of someone being sick or just having been sick as "THAT SOUNDS FUN, LET'S DO ( Read more... ) -
ONE. MORE. WEEK.
Whatever else is happening, at least I have my NaNo summary together!March 1947. Journalist Laura Fielding arrives on the migratory island of Brimir ahead of a summit set to finalize the Americans' Marshall Plan for recovery in postwar Europe. Her assignment is to profile the closed-off nation for general readers, which was neutral during the ( Read more... ) -

The good news is that I feel better than I did coming into the weekend; the bad news is omg, why is money. I got my first StitchFix package on Saturday, and I wasn't expecting to love it, and... I love it. It's a service where you take a quick quiz about your style preferences, budget and measurements, and on a schedule that you determine, a ( Read more... ) -

Insert lyrics: "A Sorta Fairytale"
The IKEA catalog is pretty much magic. I've been poring over it for the past couple of days since it arrived, and since I have to wait to buy pretty much anything I want (chair! maybe this thing! or some of these!), and also since I've been getting increasingly antsy while waiting on my period, I've been doing a lot of cleaning and rearranging of ( Read more... )
