happy little details

[rivendellrose]

I wrote on the bus today. This pretty much means that my handwriting shuffles back and forth between my usual slightly-spiky half-script and, well, what most closely resembles a cardio-gram.

I can only hope that I have half a clue what I was trying to say when I go to transcribe it into the computer this evening. On the plus side, a Major Project that I've been working on is now in the editing stage (yes, it's fic, but I'm still happy about this, dang it!), and appears to be acquiring sequels... I guess I'd better hope a few people other than the roommate and I think it's worth reading. :P

Also, last night I got the brilliant idea to take a bath, and proved that I do not do this often by half-scalding my feet and then having to stand around in my bathrobe while my candles burned down, trying to cool down my overly-hot water. And then made myself dizzy from languishing in the heat for too long. Yeah. I'm that butch.

I love autumn. I can finally sleep snuggled up under my warm down comforter again, and that makes me soooooo happy. ♥

(Oh, and also? The Doctor Who (8th Doctor) audio dramas running on BBC 7 right now? Totally rock. If you have access to someone who can make their computer cooperate with BBC's website (or, y'know... can listen live through the luck of living in a country decent enough to have actual radio content that doesn't suck), you should totally check it out.)

I have a friend that scribbles out his dialogue and brainstorming in little notebooks on the bus and then transcribes them into story form on the computer when he gets home at night. He actually gets stuff written pretty fast that way, too.

If I had that talent, I might not actually mind riding the buss again. :)

I manage okay, but I always end up contorting myself weirdly so that I can hold the notebook and the pen steady, and my writing gets all screwed up. Also, I occasionally get twitchy about having someone right next to my shoulder... but hey, at least I can get some stuff scribbled down, and my brain seems to work pretty well at that time of day, to my surprise. I might have to give the morning thing a go, after all... bleh.

If you take a bottle of water into the bath with you, I find it helps with the headache. It's the only way I can ever take baths at all.

I'm glad it's not just me. I felt like such a horrible weenie, until my roommate agreed she had the same problem (both with the scalding water and the headaches). ;)

I'll definitely take a bottle of water next time. That was too glorious not to do again sometime.

Not a weenie at all - think of it as extreme heat, and do what you would do in any other situation where you're dehydrating yourself!

(Also, last time I took a bath, I first ran it too hot, then cooled it down too much, then slipped on the bottom and jarred my tailbone on the edge. I think it's more common than most people want to admit . . .)

Good point - I guess it is just like a sauna or something, isn't it?

(Oh, ouch! Yeah.... bathing is hazardous!)

Also... the leaves turn pretty. ^_^

That, too! Though I haven't seen them doing much of that, yet...

Fall's my favorite season all-around. Though waking up buried in down-comforter is pretty high on my list of reasons, today at least. ;)

Warm comforters are love. The only problem is that in autumn the weather can change so quickly that I go to bed on a chilly night with the covers piled on and the electric blankie set low, and by morning it's warmed right up again up again and I've got a heat headache... :p
