edenfalling1. Changed the scented wax in my wax melter.
2. Checked my weight.
3. Bought some groceries. Sadly, I failed AGAIN to buy applesauce, because there was none of the right kind in stock. (The other kinds were also sold out or pretty sparse, oddly enough. Is there some kind of applesauce shortage I don't know about???) Well, I have two individual serving cups left, after which I guess I will eat craisins as my breakfast fruit, and hope that the store is restocked on Thursday.
4. Photographed my peppers.
5. Walked into town and bought some nice bread (cheddar chive sourdough) from Collegetown Bagels, just because.
6. TOOK A NAP. \o/
7. Boiled eight eggs.
8. Baked brownies.
9. Repotted all the component sections of Babylon (one of my spider plants) and hung the pot back in my living room window. Then I took down Damocles (another spider plant), trimmed and/or uprooted all of its component sections, and put them in a giant pot of water to grow new roots. I will empty the dirt and horrible tangled dead roots out of the hanging pot tomorrow evening.
10. Hand-washed the upper section of my rayon-blend pants to get the body stink out of them in preparation for wearing them a second day. During that process, I realized the reason they felt a little weird at work is that one of the buttons is almost falling off. *headdesk* I will be wearing different pants tomorrow anyway (because I got a little overenthusiastic about the washing), so I will resew that button Tuesday evening.
11. Began skimming some worship-planning books borrowed from my DRE, in prep for the youth group's upcoming weekend get-together with Oneonta. The first book is from a relentlessly peppy and Christian perspective, but there are some interesting ideas sprinkled among the interminable yay-Jesus-yay-Jesus-yay.
12. Worked a little more on the Cotton Candy Bingo ficlet. I am just... it's not making me happy, you know? It's meant to be a cute and fluffy ficlet, but it keeps veering toward people being tired and uncharitable toward each other -- which I think is because I myself am tired and stressed and fed up with the world in general -- and that's not what I want to be writing. I think I need to rip up the second half (from the introduction of the unexpected ambassadors) and go into those scenes with the assumption that the characters are going to give each other the benefit of the doubt and be polite rather than snappish. Appropriate behavior is a big thing in the Enchanted Forest Chronicles, after all.
*sigh*
And now to bed.
