The Meme of Great Details, Day 6: My Day
The topic of today is: my day, in great detail.
I woke up at seven, turned off my alarm and went back to sleep. I didn’t mean to, it just happened. (I thought I should start getting used to waking up early… instead, I had a very bad dream about a friend; she died.) Then I woke up, and I got up, shortly before nine.
I went to the bathroom. I had breakfast (see Day 4), read the newspaper, and thought about how the nuances of the sunshine changes throughout the year. I think that if I went into a coma and woke up without knowing how much time had passed, I could probably guess the season just by looking at how the sunshine looks when it falls on the trees. Okay so I'm exaggerating, but late August/early September has its own special glow.
Then I took out things from the dishwasher, decided not to take a shower, as I’m not going anywhere today anyway, and thought about getting a haircut. I take split hair ends to a whole new level and my sister (ex hairdresser) is probably ashamed to admit we’re related.
I made my bed, started packing my sleepover bag, because I’m going away to K. tomorrow morning (train leaves at 5.36 am) to take care of the dogs for a few days while she’s working and her husband is away on a work-related trip. I got dressed.
Then I started printing the texts by my writer friends, and I’ll read them aloud to the dogs. Or not. I took in the mail - there was a postcard from Linda, my American friend, she was in Canada.
Now I’m writing this… and I’ll try to get some work done.

And I did get some work done. I’ve filled a couple of gaps in the text, so now I’ve only got the last part of the second last chapter to finish. And of course the last chapter - I’ve written the first page of, and the three last pages, but then there’s a huge gap in the middle….. (And no, I rarely write longer texts from the beginning to the end in the final chronological order! I don’t even always write fanfic drabbles that way…)
I took a walk with my mp3-player, listening to Maria Callas. (Yes, I have about 10% Callas in it, and the rest is Mireille… I should probably put Fanny Ardant reading Jane Eyre in it, too! Or Lol.) I bought yoghurt, and a little chocolate (which I shouldn’t have done), and an ice cream (which I also shouldn’t have done, but it’s summer, after all, and I haven’t eaten much ice cream this year…).
And then I wrote the two paragraphs above.
And now I’ve had dinner (macaronis and tuna sauce), and I've read a couple of more fics from the heroes_faves HUGE list of nominations. Voting will close September 6 if I’m not mistaken; there’s no way I can read all fics, so to make it a little easier I just skip all fics with Sylar-pairings and Nathan/Peter, I also don’t care much about Adam… I’m sure many of them are very well-written and all that, but I can only vote for one in each category anyway… I’m going to add lots of stories to my memories, too, and read them better later.
I’ll post this soon, and then I’ll watch TV. This, I mean. I liked it in the early 90’s, and I’ll watch it for nostalgic reasons, but of course mostly because I try to watch everything with Agneta Sjödin. And this game show was what started my “crush” on her so of course I have to watch it…
Then I’ll take a shower and go to bed. Next topic: My best friend, in great detail. You’ll have to wait until Saturday, most likely, to read more…
