Acquisitions

Received this and these by UPS today. Also this, which was a mistake, because what I'd actually ordered was this. They're shipping the correct brooch to me, and I'll be sending the other one back. And yeah, yeah, I know, this was all very irresponsible and everything, but I had the money from a windfall check, which meant I didn't have to put it on credit. So I got all surly and defiant and said, I want these. The hell with the budget. So I got them. Nyah, nyah (sticks out tongue). I'm going to enjoy wearing them, too.

I was very industrious and worked on balancing my checkbook tonight. The goal for the next several days: clean the office. The idea is to metaphorically clear the decks and then try to get back to the book.

I actually had an idea on it today: I thought, maybe Solveig has seasonal affective disorder. I don't know why, but this idea pleased me. Maybe because I have SAD myself. But it has something to do with that summer/winter lightness/darkness stuff. You know, theme. I sometimes get the most done when I brood about theme. (*Sigh* Well, I could hardly get less done.)

I guess I just note it, not because it's a necessarily a good idea, particularly, but because it's a hopeful sign that my backbrain is starting to brood about fiction again.
