House...

The humidity on our house is up to 82%. This is probably a record, for us. The floor continues to change colors, and is getting whiter and whiter. It is weird to remember it being liquid when we walk over it.

We're talking over how we're going to wire down there, and how to install the washer and dryer. No more laundry in the kitchen! Speaking of, laundry to do today.


Self...

I was glad to have something I volunteered for turned down, and am spending a lot of time each day examining something I usually forget to: what do **I** want to do?

Do I want to do NaNoWriMo next month? Do I want to work on a non-Torn World webserial? Do I want to try doing an icon or sketch day? Do I want to continue with EMG-Zine past the end of 2011? Where are the rewards outweighing the expenses? Where am I finding satisfaction? What's just dead weight? What do I really **want** out of the next year(s)? What sounds like **fun???**

I remind myself to feel grateful that I have the opportunity to make choices, and to exercise that right. It's more productive than just feeling helplessly crushed.


Elsewhere...

miintikwa is having a one-card draw today - go get a card!

Torn World now has an RSS feed for new stories and poetry! http://tornworld.net/rss

Now that I know how to do that, I'll be adding it elsewhere, look out!


Plans...

Busy weekend ahead, somehow. I have several choices for tonight, dog training and dance practice tomorrow, and church and dessert afterwards for my sister's birthday.

I don't want to do any of it, but I can't really justify just crawling back into bed for the next three days like I really want to.

Having had a baby has made me re-evaluate like crazy. I encourage re-evaluation, particularly among overachievers. :)

Indeed, picking where to spend your energy in a thoughtful manner is generally a good exercise. :)

And sometimes, crawling back in bed for a couple days isn't a bad idea....

Ugh, that is right next month is November...I don't think I have it in me to do NaNo this year.. :( Sometimes I think that everything has been written, and what is the use of rehashing the same plot lines? Like the princess and dragon stuff, the princess being saved from the dragon and the princess saving the dragon from the knight, both are way over done now, but what new twist is there?

Then there is the "OMG, what I am writing is utter dreck and who will ever want to read it, and I have so many plot things to fill in, and they talk and travel waaaayyy too much!"

A sketch a day is fun, I tried that in February, it would have been much easier with the fashions throguh history books that I have now. I was trying to draw a woman a day from cave lady to modern.

EMG-ZIne : I have said it before, I have no idea how you are able to keep up with it, I mean I haven't been on it even 1/4 of the time you have been and I am already getting burntout (of course Life doing unexpected things was helping in that area). I do love how much stuff I am learning though.

Crawling into bed sounds nice, I am going to go do that, gotta get caught up on sleep.
