Today's LOL: especially the 4th strip, though they're all great. XD

Thanks to not having a headache of doom and feeling like my sinuses were about to explode, I accomplished much more today than I did yesterday! Let's compare, shall we?

- I showered! Before noon, even! Yesterday, I took a bath... in the evening.

- I got dressed! Yesterday, I spent the day in my pyjamas, even though Kimberly came over to crochet and watch a movie. We don't stand on ceremony with each other, so it's all good. Like when I go over to her place, and we've been sitting around chatting for an hour, and she exclaims, "I'm sorry, I completely forgot to offer you something to drink!" "Don't worry, I poured myself a glass of water when I got here. :D"

- I translated a Travelpod post! Yesterday I didn't type a single word except for a couple of emails.

- I cleaned up my apartment! I vacuumed (at midday, so as not to do it at a time when most people are turning on their heaters and whatnot), tidied up, aired my futon, and reorganised my sewing notions. I even vacuumed Tabitha -- apparently, she'll tolerate the little brush nozzle; she looked rather confused about what was going on, but she didn't try to run away, and though her ears were slightly back, she was purring. Yesterday, I... I put my dishes in the sink, at least.

- I went outside! I actually took a rather long walk along the Senkawa, and took lots of pictures of the last few plum blossoms in the area, then spent a couple of hours studying Japanese and drinking Coco's out of their drink bar. What can I say, verbs, both transitive and intransitive, make me thirsty. Quite an outing, when you consider that yesterday I only opened the door of my apartment when Kimberly arrived and when she left.

- I ate a proper meal! One. My breakfast was a grilled cheese sandwich* and I didn't eat anything else until Coco's. I sort of forgot about lunch! Yesterday, I ate a bowl of Cheerios, 3/4 of the little pizza Kimberly brought over, two slices of toast with honey, and a small bowl of leftover ebi-chili. Hmm, I guess we can say this one's a draw, if we're talking total amount of food consumed. But I might have a snack later.

- I burned my finger while making the grilled cheese sandwich! Maybe scalded is a better word. You can't tell, but it's tender enough for me to feel it whenever I touch something. Yesterday, I didn't injure myself in any way.

- So far I haven't knitted today. Yesterday, I finished the second mitten of the pair I was working on. Tonight, I aim to start assembling the afghan for Baby Roo.

- I haven't watched or read anything yet today. Yesterday, I started The Girl Who Played With Fire while I was in the bath (with the bath bomb Hannah gave me for my birthday -- thanks, Hannah! ^_^), and I watched an episode of Ace wo nerae. I'll get some more sparkly pastel tennis in once I finish this.**

- Yesterday, I tried to do a little cleaning out of my bookmarks, and ended up revisiting some PoT fanfiction I'd bookmarked ages ago. And no matter how cliché many things have become in that fandom, some of them will never not be funny to me, like Tezuka hanging up on Inui, or Shishido expressing disgust over the Golden Pair being lovey-dovey/touchy-feely/really gay. XDDD

* The daughter of a friend of my mother's couldn't pronounced "grilled cheese" when she was little, and called them "grouchies".

** I really want to make a long review post with lots of screencaps for this series. It's really cute and fun. The main character, Hiromi, has huge crushes on both a female senpai and a male senpai, and she totally ships them together. <3

From now on, I am calling them grouchies (not that I eat them so often, but still).

Now, Ace wo nerae is the shoujo version of TeniPuri, right? (though earlier?)

My mother and I have called them that ever since, it was just too cute. <3

Yes, it's TeniPuri if it were about girls and took place in the 70s and they played tennis that was ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE and also it weren't super gay. But man, the PoT boys have nothing on some of these chicks, they are VICIOUS. And also the matches don't last for 3948732 episodes. I just finished watching what seemed to be the equivalent of the Tezuka-Atobe match, and it was over within one episode! :O

I glanced at your entry and thought for sure I was misreading "I vacuumed Tabitha"........but evidently I was not. XD

Stay safe, my kender!

What, doesn't everybody vacuum their cat?!

I'm doing my best, my hobbit.

WOW I wish I could focus for long enough to be half as productive! My mind is kind of going "ok focus for work stuff, 3, 2, 1 bored now"

"Productive" is relative. It's like I got three unexpected days off and the first two my brain was all, "LET'S DO NOTHING AT ALL!!!"

Good luck with your schoolwork, and keep us posted on how that possible internship thing is going!

Hooray for small things!

I now want a 'grouchy'. Which is now the new name for grilled cheese sandwiches.

I want another grouchy today, but I haven't got quite enough cheese left for a proper one. Would a grouchy short on cheese be a grouch? ^_^
