you won't make yourself a name if you follow the rules

sucky things:

* headache
* asthma
* chronic pain
* spoon deficit
* EF deficit
* dirty apartment

gratitudes:

* sisters
* lake view
* familiar musics
* familiar movies
* tea
* internet friends

Irritants:

* hurting hands
* Dragon NaturallySpeaking
* feeling like a flake every time I leave work a couple hours early on sick leave because of hurting hands
* not being able to do much of anything because all the things require hands
* feeling like I haven't earned a movie or a TV episode or a pleasure book, even though I have seventy-odd Habitica gold, and none of those rewards cost more than thirty

Gratitudes:

* air conditioning
* Dragon NaturallySpeaking
* "Serpent Mound" by Kellianna
* "Ancestor Song" by Kellianna
* iced mocha coffee with milk and plenty of sweetener

1) Florence + the Machine. (Because this is a good things post, I am not discussing the downside here.)

2) "Fresh Cut Herbs" Yankee Candle.

3) I have a windowsill herb garden now! I mean, I don't have a windowsill so the little cedar potted-plant holder is currently sitting on my altar (the instructions say no direct sunlight until there's actual leaves, and this is a devotional exercise anyway, so the altar's the best place for it for now), but I am going to have parsley and chives and cilantro and oregano and I will be able to make BEST pasta sauces. Uh. Once I figure out the magic of spicing the tomato sauce...

4) There's a tree behind D building with lots of white flowers.

5) And several trees by the pool that are blooming in pink.

6) My apartment is slowly-but-steadily getting cleaner.

7) My outline for "Inherit the Flame"'s next draft is a thing that exists. Also a thing that is improving.

8) My friend D_Libris is moderating a panel at Mancunicon on "Queering Heroic Fantasy" starting at 8:30 local, so about twenty minutes. Obv I can't be there, but the mere existence of this panel (with my friend moderating!) makes me happy, and gods I hope someone's live-tweeting or something.

9) Oh hey my prescriptions are ready! I'ma go fetch them, and drop off a box of books at the library and grab my held book in the process, and then I will not have to miss a dose of the one pill!

10) SPRING

post story to workshop forum (probably ran out extension already though)

Somebody is running a leafblower and it is noisy and distracting. I need to ground and center but see previous.

Good things:
* Pleasant temperature outside such that I can have my patio doors open. (No, having them closed wouldn't reduce the noise significantly.)
* My dining nook is clean clean CLEAN.
* I did very well (by all reports) at all three performances of An Evening with Poe.

To do:
* WGSS reading questions
* read more of Dwelling on the Threshold
* overtime

Tada:

Three good things:
