I just realized that I missed a wonderful opportunity to use it on my last post, and am making up for it now.
I had to take a break from packing yesterday. I'm not sleeping, I'm having tummy trouble, and I'm in a lot of pain. And I am now officially out of all meds and painkillers, of both the natural herbal kind (including my teas) and the over the counter crap. But if I wait, I'll be doing all this during monsoon season. Some days, I can't even get out of bed during monsoon season. I need to get this shit done! So my brave companion Squire Ipod and I shall be throwing ourselves back into battle today. Even though we're out of potions and mana herbs. ;)
And if anyone is wondering why I so often present daily tasks as video game quests/battles... that's how we did it in my family. It's how my mother taught me to put things into scope and stick with something when I was a teenager, and it's a technique that has served me well. Though in those days she'd use specific battles. Usually The Evil Wall. That was always a favorite of hers....
I've been recently introduced to Yngwei Malmsteen. And I am digging him hardcore. It's like a blend of Dream Theater and Hammerfall, with a dash of old school Dio thrown in. If you like hard fantasy psych rock with a touch of metal, I recommend looking into him.
But yesterday was a pretty good day, even if I didn't get much done.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nijawial treated me to breakfast, and I got a lot of reading done. Plus, since I'm not sleeping well, I was able to catch the premiere of Ghost Hunters Academy. I'm already routing for Roslyn.
It's almost the weekend!
