Carry on, carry on
Sometimes I feel that the things that I write about in this thing are so inane that I should just backdate all my entries to save them from showing up on people's flists. While I don't intend to start doing that... maybe it won't hurt for this one.
Mum seems to be feeling a little better, but who knows. We spent all morning making pies. Not exactly how I intended to spend the weekend, but there you go.
I have a lot of things that I "need" to do, and a lot of things that I promised people I'd do, and it's hard to keep from stressing out about it. But I told myself that this weekend (aside from family obligations) I'd try my best to only do things that please me, regardless of obligation. And it worked, kind of. I mean, the things that need to be done are still there, but at least I just got to relax.
Equinox is coming up, and I'm not sure what to do for it. I'll probably just end up going out for lunch or... something. At least I have the day off.
I've been thinking about picking up a couple of days of overtime at work. It'd be guaranteed to leave me tired and a bit grumpy, but with regards to travel - wherever I do decide to travel, be it Montreal to visit Scrii, or Halifax if that falls through - then two days of overtime would cover the tickets, I think. Not that I need to - I can afford it very easily right now - but it'd be nice, I guess. I don't know. I'll think of it.
Still in a writing slump. Not sure what to do about that. I'm just going to leave it aside and try not to think about it. Read some published fiction, do some other things that make me happy. Give some attention to other projects for a while. It's not such a bad thing to take a little break.
