Numbers Guy is asleep on the couch, Sparkly is sitting next to him, I’m in the armchair with a sleeping cat on my lap.
Nicest New Year I’ve had in a while.
2015 in review
Not counting illnesses and scheduled vacations (and interpreting posts I made slightly after midnight as counting towards the day before) I was only five days shy of posting every day this year. I made 417 posts total.
I think next year I’ll just backdate the 1AM posts, because figuring this out was unnecessarily confusing. Also I thought I did way worse than that, wow.
A lot of my posts this year were short random things, and part of me regrets the clutteredness of that, but I think making a habit and following through every day is important, even if I can’t write something long and/or serious every day.
Next year’s resolutions: manage my drafts better, post initial thoughts/rough drafts and follow up on them, put titles on posts.
Vague- childhood illness
There’s finally a significant amount of snow on the ground, which is good, but also means I have to get up early tomorrow morning to move the car before the snow plow comes. Parking on the street is definitely my least favorite thing about where I live. I’d happily shovel a driveway instead if I could do it on my own schedule.
(When will my serious posts return from the war? Probably in the new year. Travelling is a big energy drain, and so is being cold all the time tbh.)
Sparkly is going to name my new character for me. Ey is wonderful like that. And also objectively good at coming up with names.
I watched a movie yesterday and then my brain went pffffftlfp (imagine a balloon with a hole in it)
so I wrote 2000 words of planning a new plotline for one of my old rp characters?
I know a few people who do this sort of thing– “brain fog type feelings = open box of ideas you’ve been mulling over, empty onto page” but I didn’t think my brain worked like that. Apparently it does.
Apparently I have spent years misreading bloglovin as blog-o-vin instead of blog-lovin. I didn’t realize there was an L there. Oops.
Sometimes I’m good at noticing typos and then sometimes this happens.
On vacation but here’s a thought
To the person who arrived at my blog by searching for “david drake sociopath”–
well, I hope my post was the kind of thing you were looking for, but it’s hard to tell.
Nice things for Sparkly
Eir fall semester is over and all eir exams are done. Ey is on vacation now. Ey managed to get me to mess up my sleep schedule along with em, which is why I keep posting after midnight. It’s not a bad thing, since I don’t have any early morning committments either, just weird because I haven’t done this “staying up til 2 on a regular basis” thing in a while.
We’ve also done some cleaning and home improvement type things, and I’ve tried out some new recipes.
