stuff and garden update

i got a fair bit of work done yesterday, and i'm about to fire up the laptop and do some more. i've done a better job of keeping work and personal time separate over the last few days, though, so i've been feeling a little less stressed and last night i even had the energy to cook for the first time in a while. this morning i went out to Spanky's for breakfast and sat there reading Name of the Rose. i started it months ago, but it's so dense that i've put it down frequently to read lighter stuff. it's a wonderful book, but it's not the sort of light reading i need to unwind, so i really only pick it up when i'm feeling well-rested and mellow, which isn't all that often. i'll get through it eventually. perhaps after that i'll take another shot at Foucault's Pendulum, although i rather doubt it. when you come right down to it, i'm just not a literary-fiction kind of girl. it's either nonfiction or trash for me, most of the time.

misc

i am done with all the work i planned to do this weekend, and did it without stressing myself out or spending the whole day procrastinating and feeling guilty. go me!

last night, iceberg was sooooo sleeeeeepy that he fell asleep next to my head in mid-wash.

i am absurdly entertained by the fact that i know someone who shares needles with his cat.

i am wearing the cardigan i bought the other day, and it pleases me greatly. tomorrow, the jeans, and maybe even the shirt if it's not too warm.
