phinnia: writing a rumi quote on a desk (rumi/heart is a pen in your hand)

i've got a little list

So I accidentally fell asleep after the boys had left and woke up again at noon. Given that my hip and other joints were being annoying for a good few hours last night, I'm not especially surprised. I am worried when that sort of thing happens, given that if I continue on the pastry school path I'm going to have a lot of early mornings (classes start at 8 and go until aboiut 12). I guess that's what coffee is for.

Things I am doing over the next while:

still working on Quant and starting these mittens but in a different set of colours; I have this cool sampler in the yarn she's using so I think the tan color and one of the blues would be nice.

Working on a couple of prompt tables and more [livejournal.com profile] stuffonmywilson fics, plus a whole whack of half-finished things.

packing up my apartment (we want to move the week of Thanksgiving if possible; if the new landlord manages to get the apartment cleaned before then, Chris is going to take a couple days off and we'll schedule the move over one of those weekdays so we don't have to worry about Sean being in the way.)

Reading: four and twenty blackbirds (excelllent) and a mini-Dave Eggers book of wee stories ('How the Water Feels To The Fishes')

hm. do those sorts of things sell at all - little books of microfiction? I still want to do that ...

I need to catch up on my podcasts.

Nearly finished the initial thirty day lumosity training.

I want to make my girl's roasted vegetable soup so I should put that on after the kidlet gets home

Thinking about Christmas themed porny short stories (as I am too freaked out to sign up for [livejournal.com profile] yuletide, given that it's all small-fandoms and I'm pretty much a one trick pony. :p)

And remembering that I need to send packages to a couple people, and that I should get out this week to gather the stuff to do that.

Oooh, me too - the cool one is so nice. I want the other two - I love the tranquil one because I'm completely sold on purples, but I'm really liking the spice-rack colors in the warm ones. I may have to just buy both of them at some point.

*snorgles* Are you enjoying Lumosity? <3

I signed up for Yuletide with my alter ego, because I will be done my novel by then. :)

I really am! And I can see a difference in things like remembering phone numbers and such - if nothing else it's great for my confidence, which was pretty spotty (and apparently I also rocked the BROCAS test at the neurologist because of it, even if my attention was kind of not so great.)

Awesome! I'm so glad. I really like it, too. I'm so glad it's made a difference. *smooches* It does help remind one that one has a brain, and that it can learn.
