I'm very slowly working my way through the comments from yesterday. I can't let myself think too much about it or consider it deeply while at my desk, but I am trying to get through them all.
Only work is bad - the rest of life is pretty good. I have two new art forms to play with - one is very fun and I seem to be good at it and I haven't done much with the second beyond basic prep work. Since both of these are intended for Hogswatch presents, I can't post pictures or details yet. I decided to get a jump on this year's crafting so that I'm not frazzled in the middle of December. This also means that I should be considering cookies on or near Thanksgiving. Yus.
My pendants from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chimera_fancies arrived yesterday. They are beautiful and mysterious and I love them to bits. I'm excited for her Halloween sale.
Speaking of the Best Holiday Ever, I haven't started work on my costume yet. I think I know what I want to be and it shouldn't be too hard to create, but I have to dig through my stash to find the appropriate fabric.
Thriller is coming along well. I think I have the choruses, intro, bridges, and rap done. I have to drill them into my head and learn the verses. Also, I'm supposed to supply an introduction for myself, but have not a clue as to what I should have the announcer say. I'm very, very willing to take suggestions.
Football continues to be a joy and frustration. I love my Cyclones, even when they blow a big lead over high ranked Kansas. I love my Badgers, even though they're having a hard time keeping the team in the game for all four quarters. There's a lot of shouting in our house on Saturdays, which is just another clue that Downwood and I married the right person for us.
I think there's more, but I can't remember it right now. I'm doing what I can to keep the depression at bay - getting more light, more exercise, lots of tea, petting my dog, ets - and that I still have things that I like to do and look forward to is a very good sign. I'm going to turn on Neil Gaiman's live recording of The Graveyard Book and let that be my background sound for the rest of the morning. I read the book right when it came out last week and now am having it read to me. Living in the future is pretty darn cool sometimes.
