egypturnashI had the most awesome day today.
Yesterday, I managed to manage the expectations of my current freelance client, and gain some breathing space. And some cash. I went to the bookstore on my way home and got a few things - picking up a replacement copy of Fairies, and pondering if I wanted or didn't want a few other things I used to have is what prompted the post last night about the long-term effects of losing my library. I walked home with my nose in a Discworld book I hadn't read yet, had some ice cream, and didn't really talk to anyone. So that was pretty damn good.
This morning, Nick and Rik hopped in a rental car with Illy, who'd been visiting us for a week and a half or so. They drove to New Jersey. I was invited but I chose not to come - instead I got a lift out to Davis Square, and had some ice cream, deposited a check from Artspots, then went to the art store and spent thirty bucks on, well, a handful of pencils and pens. (As a side note, Artspots is pretty kick-ass in the gallery-with-print-sales department: they give you the money pretty quickly, and they have some really nice paper available. And they take Illustrator source files. And they're no longer furry only.) I got some hair bleach but I haven't used it yet.
I came home and didn't have talk to anyone for the rest of the day. At all. I played a mindless little video game on Rik's machine. I went out on the porch and looked at the sky for a bit. It was fucking awesome.
Maybe I'll be ready to be social next weekend. This weekend, I might not say a single word.
