My brain has decided that my tasty mini quiches are not, in fact, tasty. Something about the texture this morning just went horribly wrong. Luckily, my oatmeal muffin was still okay and my PB&J tortilla picked up the slack. This bodes poorly for this morning, though. Eesh.
Werk
The field in which I grow my fucks is barren. Even so, there are okay things. My keyboard stopped working yesterday. Luckily, a coworker had a spare that I'm using until I can get a replacement ergonomic keyboard from our IT team. This "normal" keyboard is making my wrists, forearms, and shoulders ache. Ick.
Other than those things, I have some cool stuff to do today. I'll probably get yelled at by someone at some point, which is no fun. But I'll probably also be thanked, so that's nice. I may even solve a problem or two.
Kidz
Ox is making more and more sounds. He might actually be finally understanding that if he can talk, he can get what he wants a lot easier. Also, it's very obvious that he's a morning person and Emi is...not. He was bouncing around, playing a toy piano when I left for work. Emi was about to fall face-first into her cereal bowl.
Oktoberfest
We're finally starting to make plans and figure out where we're going to be on what days. I've purchased guide books. Future will eat me, but I'll get to drink beer and see cathedrals and castles. So, you know, it'll probably be okay.
Sewing
I'm trying to decide what to do with the last couple pieces of fabric from the KnitFix I bought. I'm also trying to decide what to do next for the kidz. I have a couple prints and then some 1 yard solids (for contrast, neck bands, cuffs, etc) in my Denver Fabrics shopping cart. I also have a yard of sparkly snowflake fabric in my Spoonflower cart. I'm having emotional problems with Spoonflower. On the one hand, I'm getting exactly what I want. On the other hand, it's 3x as expensive as I want to pay. I don't generally buy expensive fabric, being a cheapskate, but it's perfect and...yeah.
Also, I need to come up with a better fabric storage method, especially for remnants. This bears thinking on. Also, I need to clean my sewing area. Emi's spread her scraps of fabric EVERYWHERE and I can't handle it anymore. Ox likes to bring his cars over so that he can play next to me while I sew. Awesome, but dangerous.
Mental Health
I have no idea what's going on in my head day to day. Some days are full of anxiety and panic. Some are not. Some days are just inexplicably sad (today). Some are not. I've no energy to fix the things that are wrong, so things just stay bad.
Books
Over the weekend, I finished book three in The Ouroboros Cycle: A Long-Awaited Treachery. All the feels. Now I'm re-reading The Princess Bride, though I had to skip past all three (THREE!?!) introductions by the author. Dude loves to hear himself talk. Just...ugh. If those had been there on my first reading of this book, I might not have ever read it. Major ugh. Also, I'm listening to Small Gods again. Sir Pterry says some interesting things about religion that I think I need to hear again. Also, it's funny and sad and worrying. So there's that.
Dance
I am not looking forward to the Saturday workshop. I'm looking forward to the show and the drinks after the show, but not so much the workshop itself. Dunno. There's not likely to be anything I want among the vendors and the space they chose is painful. And parking on campus sucks. It just seems like a lot of stress for something that I may or may not actually enjoy.
