But today is not the day.

I started to set up my new phone, but the sim card is the wrong size, so that is something I need to deal with next week.

Actually life is rushing forward, and the coming week is busy.

Sunday: cleaning and taking my housemate out to the movies for her birthday (the fantastic beasts movie I think)
Monday: Osteo, collect grad tickets (find out how to get them to people who are coming who you won't see before grad), radio segment, maybe get my sim card?
Tuesday: friend coming round for dinner (I will make a vegetable and tempeh curry)
Wedesday: I think nothing?
Thursday: grad
friday: nothing
Saturday: go home!

and on the nothing days I actually have to clean and pack, write my spn_j2_xmas exchange fic, apply for at least two jobs, follow up on my unemployment, and... gosh. there are a couple of other things, but that is quite enough to be going on with!

actually I have a couple of other things to write as well - I do want to do ficmas (and then means, what, starting to post on the 13th? 14th? okay that is a few days... I might be able to manage it, and I signed up for the SMPC this month too (I have been a terrible participant!).

And I have a lot of fic based plans for next year: finishing off my WIPs. the one I have started on AO3, but also make my way through my folder. I mean... I actually enjoy writing. So I should do it, and even when I get my new job, it's not going to be as all encompassing as this year has been. so I think I should manage to post more in 2019 than I managed in 2018.

I just had this epiphany... I can book a round the world ticket from another country! I was thinking Japan, since that is where I want to start. but then again, I don't actually want a round the world ticket, since I don't have a date I am going to be heading home.

This is going to take more organising than my usual slapdash manner of doing things.

in terms of RL: work is kicking my arse. I am not a big drinker, but last wednesday? I would have happily drunk myself to sleep. As it happens I went out to dinner and I had a mango lassi instead, and that was nice, but yeah. last week was Hellish.

but it's november now, that means it is going to get better *fingers crossed*

I am doing nano this month, but only for the word count, not for a novel. hoping to finish a few things, start a few other things. I'd like to get my spn_j2_xmas gift done, but I have been ruminating on it, and I am struggling to get started. Still. I have the whole month yes.

I am also hoping to have more of a health/exercise focus in November. Stretching, and walking to work twice a week. I generally cycle since I am always running late, but I think walking is going to be better for me.

one day I will not get distracted
