yuuagoToday has been an emotional rollercoaster, so I'm just going to note down a few things that went well. So:
☆ I had driving practice today. My first time driving in snow! Even though I haven't gone driving for over a year, it was surprisingly painless. I was a little nervous, but I only went sliding once, and that was on a small deserted side-street, so... no big deal. It's going to take a lot more before I can do the test, of course, but at least I'm not as behind as I expected. Next major challenge is going to be driving in the dark, though. Definitely going to have to try that. Nnnot looking forward to it, but it's unavoidable!
☆ Was going to work on Chocobox treats, but my mind was bleh, so instead I turned things around and started on a self-indulgent nonfandom thing with my original characters, Jacques and Rose. Apparently pointless slice-of-life family fluff in a cozy setting was exactly what I needed. Ahhh times like this, I wish I didn't hate drawing, it would be nice to draw a scene with them together~
☆ I started reading Thomas King's The Back of the Turtle and oh my gosh, I'm not even 50 pages into it, but it's so good. Which is to be expected - his stuff is typically pretty awesome - but still. I wish I hadn't taken so long to read this one; large hardcovers always make me hesitate, since they're so heavy, but eh. Worth it.
☆ It was REALLY nice out today, so I was able to go for a nice long walk after driving practice. Lovely fresh air. Delightful. <3 Unfortunately I discovered that yeah, there's no way to deny it, I do have holes in my sneakers. Oh, well. It's only a problem when things are kind of melty out. New shoes can wait until spring.... In the meantime, I'll just enjoy the nice weather.
☆ Two words: Caramel brownies. :9 Oh yes.
Aaanyway. To-do for tomorrow:
-Edit Chocobox assignment
-Edit Suvi/Vesa fic
-Work more on that original thing
-Take a look at what the library has on the specifics of Treaty 8
-And maybe some, uh, light reading. I'm thinking Wodehouse, maybe.
-To top it all off, a niiiice long walk. <3 Yes.

Date: 2017-01-30 11:01 am (UTC)I love that you can write about your original characters. Mostly I can't, and original characters just live in my head instead. Yours have nice names, btw. (It also makes me smile that they have what I think of as an English and a French name. And well, you're Canadian, so it kind of looks like they represent Canada, too :))
Good luck with the to-do list!
