yuuago✿ Simple pleasures: A bowl full of berries from the garden. When I was out doing the yardwork, I saw that our saskatoon bush was full of berries, and decided to take care of that. There were a few I couldn't reach, but that's all right, I'm sure the birds will appreciate them. Now I have all these berries in the fridge - not enough for a pie, but definitely enough for a batch of muffins or two. Nice. :D
✿ My friend Anneliese had commissions open, so I got her to draw the post-apocalyptic version of Hetalia Australia from my Mad Max crossover fic. <3 It looks great, I'm so happy with it. Since I was having trouble visualizing what he'd look like, it was nice to be able to completely hand the character design aspect off to someone who knows my tastes very well - that is, I basically said "You know Oz in that fic you liked? Yeah, draw him", pff. ...I kind of want to get her to draw another one of him and Max together. :D BUT all of her slots filled up on the first day, wow. I'm happy for her, though. (Gonna have to keep an eye out...) Aaaaand now I want to write more in that crossover universe, whups.
✿ I finally started reading Stand Still, Stay Silent. I'm going to try to do it as only one chapter per day, because I don't want to get overwhelmed by it. But so far, I like it! Even though I have only read the prologue so far, I have a few thoughts, mostly related to comparing it to A Redtail's Dream in terms of initial structure/pacing. But I'll tackle that on another day, because it's really late right now.
✿ I've been on my own for a week, as my parents went down to the lake for vacation. I did not accidentally set the house on fire. I kept up with the yard work. I did not lock myself out of the house. Everything is clean and tidy. Considering that I'm so scatterbrained that sometimes it's incredibly hard just to make sure that I leave the house with my head attached, I consider this a success.
