Positivity meme (day 4/7)
(Missed a day! I've seen a lot of people posting two or three days' list items at once when that happens, but I'm opting to tack a day on at the end.)
Today I'm thankful for:
1) Finishing the main read-through on the novel I'm proofreading. There's still work to be done before it's ready to be turned in, but I'm going to let it sit for the weekend and get started on my next rewrite.
2) Getting my copy of the Monstrous Affections anthology in the mail and getting to read "Wings in the Morning" (the story that follows The Turn of the Story. "Wings" was approximately nothing like I expected, plot-wise, but I loved it and felt it was a very satisfying resolution of some things SRB had introduced in The Turn of the Story, particularly in terms of the relationships. Elliot remains my favorite character (TotS is from his POV; "Wings" is not), but seeing him through other eyes was delightful, and I adore all of the main characters. *^^*
3) Getting to hang out with
wildpear for a little bit this evening and geek out/squee with her about it all. *^^*
Day 3 of Project Wear All the BPAL Weenies! brought out Autumn Cider (2011), which is "fermented apple juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, clove, lemon zest, butterscotch liquor, and orange slices". It was very warm and spicy and played beautifully with my skin chemistry.
(As you might guess from these "write-ups" of each scent, I don't have a terribly discerning nose when it comes to picking out individual notes. The Dead Mouse Incident at Casual Job a few years ago demonstrated that I apparently have a keen nose, but that's a rather different thing. ^^;)
