we used to be something, I can't remember just what

[balsamandash]

Hi, still alive. Making a concerted effort to be more existent. We'll see if it works. List form because lists are easier on tired Augusts.

• Was away with Bast the past couple of days for my weekend, so that was good. I don't feel better, exactly, but I feel like I recharged for forcing it for a little longer. So that's... something, right? That's more doable, anyway.


• Still wanting to write, still not entirely sure I'm capable of it. I'm eyeing basically everything with the same mix of half-bouncy "waaaaaaaaaant" and desire to cry. Which is at least better than just the desire to cry?


• Also I need to focus on D&D things at some point in the next couple of days before/after work, so I can run a game Monday. I have SO MANY OVERARCHING PLANS for this campaign and NOT ENOUGH PARTICULARS. I don't suppose anyone wants to be rambled at as I try to find something that might be fun for my group, would they...? (Unfortunately my default ramble-at-er is IN my group. Sigh. How I make things hard on myself.)


• Work is not going to be fun but back-to-school week is just about over and that's kind of cheering to think about. The crowds might actually go down some after this coming weekend. Thank goodness. And there's pizza tonight, so I don't have to spend money for food!


• Entire family is at my grandmother's for a day or two, because my mother's internet is down and she works from home. Sans stepfather, at least, but ugh, so many people. And family stuff is just kind of... weird right now, so.


• Con is looking likelier and likelier. And that's not a BAD thing, I'm actually kind of looking forward to it, but I am now getting that weird back-and-forth on cosplay that I always get before con. I want to do the thing, I just... know I probably won't, for a few reasons. And it makes me sad.


• I am finally remembering to charge my kindle! Next step: Spending the gift card that's been sitting around. Because there are Seanan things I don't have. and/or Boy Meets Boy. I will figure it out this weekend. >>
