Okay, so. Received word from dad; mum's doing all right, and the both of them will be back here Wednesday evening.
Instead of cleaning (which I really should have been doing) I spent some time watching Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, after various friends' recommendation. Only made it through six episodes so far, but considering I don't have a lot of interest in anime these days, making it that far in is a good sign that it'll keep my attention. I've been enjoying it at least, and it provides a nice distraction. (And now I finally know where some of those internet memes come from. "(Whatever) has left me in despair!" etc.)
I've been working on the Delicious version of the Baltic Index quite a bit. Almost all the unfilled prompts are there from all parts. I just need to finish up and then move on to indexing the filled stuff. And the Nordic Index, as always, is up to date. ... Or at least it was, until the freeze-lift today. Looks like I'll have to grab a few minutes to update it tomorrow. щ(◉Д◉щ)
Indexing is great right now because when I'm doing it I don't have to think. It's mindless. Not like writing, which would be difficult. I haven't been getting very much sleep so doing anything creative is difficult. And it doesn't help that I'm going through one of those phases in which I look at everything I've been writing and go "THIS SUCKS". It's just the stuff I've been working on lately, mind. I know I'll get over it but until then... ಠ_ಠ
By the way, thank you again for the kind words with regard to the issue a few days ago. I really appreciated it.

Date: 2011-03-30 05:43 am (UTC)I get the time to index by not doing other things. Like laundry. Er.
[/drapes all over] But Deeeerp, I have ideas, it's just that when I try to write them nothing comes out right. 8|

and I hope things are going, or at the very least will be going well in general ♥
