a rambling sort of note
Jul. 16th, 2023 05:53 pmI'm visiting grandparents tomorrow and so am in the final stages of packing right now. Looking forwards to it; haven't seen them in a year! Will hopefully also get to see other relatives living there but who knows, they're kind of flaky.
Writing-wise, I have tossed up a project (the same one as in April) on NaNoWriMo and am slowly adding words on it. Nowhere near fast enough to hit my goal (which is how much is left until it's complete, ca 40k) since I'm meandering along at just enough to maintain my 4thweords streak right now. I don't have any great ambitions about getting a bunch of words out, I'm just trying to get back into the rhythm of writing it.
New books have arrived and I've also already spent the entire portion of my budget allocated to the smashwords' sale. Oops.
The amount of money I've spent on clothes this month too... I've already had to adjust my budget this month (less in the piggy bank) and will likely do so again if I'm to spend *any* money on holiday. So many things no longer fit; this whole regularly working out at the gym thing is proving quite hazardous to my wallet. Sigh.
On less happy notes, I had a massive headache recently that took 2 doses of painkiller and about 2 hours of pacing to get rid of, and even then it wasn't totally defeated. It's mostly better, but not entirely gone now, and I need to make sure I'm not up to late or that's definitely going to trigger something. Sadly, my mental health is not stellar at the moment so I'm getting caught in lots of loops. Which makes going to bed on time particularly difficult to achieve.
In happier news, though, the 2nd challenge for![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
tinyfandomflash is up! I'm still working on my fic for the first challenge, but will hopefully manage to squeeze that out soon. Also! There are already four (4) fics on there! And I am completely unfamiliar with all four fandoms, so quite clearly this is already working. Nice!
I've made chocolate cupcakes for the trip, but I think I left them in the oven too long. I'm overly cautious on them for some reason, but last time they were still edible so hopefully they're fine again. Just not as gooey inside as they should be.
Alright, gonna get back to packing now. *pumps fist*
