blissmorgan: (good morning)
 Good mornthing! I managed to make a shower fit into the time that is normally just enschoolenation prep for the Spawn. And then I got my hair to do The Thing by accident. And then I found my eyeliner pencil sharpener. I’m cautiously going to declare, even though it is currently not even 8am, that this is A Good Day.
 
My good vibes. I give them too you. ::makes woodleymotions toward you through the internet::

Here is a selfie, because I have not done one here in a while, and I like the way I look and want you to have the chance to enjoy it as well:


First week of full time work is going well, so far! We will see how it proceeds in the second half, however. My first three days are a standard 8:30 to 5 workday. Thursday through Saturday are a 10 hour day, a day off, and then a 6 hour day. That will be the part that will take the most adjustment for me, I do think. I'm happy to have Fridays off - it makes driving the lads to the Spawnfather easier, and I can have a day of legit rest after the long day because everyone else is at school or work.

One thing I am having to figure out is how to rejigger the housework. There is a lot that I would just kind of do when I felt like it, because I had quite a bit of time at home. Now, though, I don't have so much home time, and I don't want to jam all my houseworkery into my day off. This morning I started a load of clothes once Youngest was up and out of bed (the washer/dryer unit is in his bedroom, poor kid), and am going to shuffle them into the dryer and start another washload before I head out to work. I'm thinking I may be able to start a routine of a load or two a day that way, get caught up, and then set up some sort of schedule for everyone to get laundry done in a timely manner without unduly invading Youngest's space in the process.

I am also with less maker time and, while I am adjusting to the heavier work schedule, I've been making practically nothing. What sit-down time I have had in the evenings I have been mostly dedicating to playing WoW and watching Better Call Saul; I've burned through all three episodes of the latter, though, and my brain is increasingly itchy to write. I've simply been unable to settle on a character/plot idea. I don't like this feeling, this mental pent-up-ness. This energy goes sour if I don't find something to pour it into.

I need to write something, for me as well as for my Patreon folks. And I'm due for a Drunkblog soon. What's good in the streaming services right now - any cult classics? Weird horror? Hallmark-stylie holiday movies? I'm planning on doing the next DB over in a channel on my Discord server. Ping me when you want an invite to the server, because it's a nice place for both synchronous and asynchronous chatting.

There's a special channel just for the Patrons.

Anyway, time to go do the thing what makes me the money, and at this point I think I will pick up breakfast/coffee en route.

blissmorgan: (good morning)
Eeeeeearly this morning, my new neighbors have arrived. I have not yet gone downstairs to introduce myself to them, but will do so sometime today.

Everyone is away this weekend, which has left me to my own designs. To this end I spent some time last night rearranging and cleaning the living room. I am still somewhat dissatisfied with it, but find it to be better than it was.

I am running laundry like woah, both mine and Spawn's.

Last night I did a Drunkblog on here, and it was quite enjoyable, especially with [personal profile] unl33t doing a watchalong with me. Next DB I do will probably be on Pluspora, at the suggestion of one of my Patreon patrons, to see if there's more engagement. More does not necessarily mean better, but a large part of starting the DBs was for communally shared entertainment, so it's worth experimenting with different sites.

Mostly, today is crocheting and watching The Blacklist as I do so. I've got a stopwatch app keeping track of my crocheting time, as it is a dragonfly blanket I am making on commission for someone who is insisting on paying me properly, and therefore I need to know how many actual hours it's taking me to make the thing. I'm currently 7 hours in and have 41 rows, which means I'm doing approximately 6 rows per hour; since this is a 6-row pattern repeat, it will make it really easy to total up if I lose the timer somehow. XD

I can't stop mentally rearranging this room. I feel like it would be best laid out if we had an L-shaped couch instead of these weird IKEA loungers. Maybe after I finally save up enough monies to get the car fixed I can think about something like that.

I feel incredibly mundane today.
