Days End

Rats - it's just not happening, that whole combination of happy and posting. I know I said I was going to do this for 100 days and maybe even keep going after that, but actually I'm finding it a bit constricting this time around - sometimes I want to post about other things that couldn't strictly be called happy, but because I committed to this I felt like it should take priority, and... Well, it can't be good if I'm boring myself... *g*

I'll still try to post every day, but hopefully I'll feel less guilty if I miss a day, go back to enjoying all my icons rather than just the yellow one (*g*), and be more likely to post about different things again. Although I must admit that moving home/job/area might be a strong theme for a few weeks...

For now, here's glimpses of a few happy moments from the last few days - because weather and shining cold, and drifting mist always make me happy!

This morning I was briefly quite excited when I saw this forecast for us on Accuweather... ...although the view out the window didn't make it seem likely, and sure enough, we're still all blue skies (well, with clouds, but definitely not snow clouds)! Hey-ho... Although the gardener (sounds grand, doesn't it, but it's more about how this lot have bitten off much more than they can chew, property-wise...) reckons we're in for a more wintry winter this year - with snow! There might be snow! *looks hopeful*

In the meantime, this weekend is about a visit to relatively local... well, relatives. *g* And hopefully more sorting, ready to move. I can consolidate more, right? It just looks bad cos I bought bits of furniture to fit into this space, but if there's different space to fit into there, then I won't actually still need it/have to find space for it. Right...? Eeep! But yeah, more consolidating. And hopefully also more December preparation of a Pros-y and present-y kind, too!

Reading: The Apprentice Witch by James Nichol
Just read: A Winter's Tale by Trisha Ashley (sometimes there is a great need for happy fluff...)
Avoided reading for bookgroup (after the first couple of dozen pages): Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace (because get over yourself, and also - get a better editor)

Watching: Buffy, because see above need for happy fluff!

Looking forward to: not having to battle with useless storage heaters; more time to live life/write/post/comment/reply to emails etc.

Yeah, moving, and preparing for it, is going to be taking up a lot of your time, maybe to the point that short posts are all you'll have time for. "Happy" may have to go by the wayside. It's really a shame that all this had to happen around the holidays!

I'm hoping I can still make time to post, but I'd like to post about things that I didn't feel fit into the idea of a "happy" post. Which is not to mean more whinging and grumbling (*g*), but maybe the odd book post, or Pros post, or just ooh, look post... *g*

It is a bit of a shame that it's all happening around Christmas - I won't be able to put up decorations until the week before Christmas at the earliest, and I do like decorations. *g* But it might also mean I have extra time to settle into the Bakehouse - I suspect I'll have the week between Christmas and New Year off, and even though it will probably be unpaid, it will be nice to have that extra time to potter around and wiggle into my space and place. I guess we'll see how it goes. I'm still grumbling to myself that I haven't even been here a year, but on the other hand I do like Somerset, and I have some friends there, so... *g*
