Work is stressful and my only foreseeable day without work of some kind in the next two weeks is Thanksgiving. Because I am secretly Hermione Granger, I'm taking way too much of the whole thing on my head, at least emotionally. I must be perfect and responsible for everything, but instead I feel like the stupid donkey in Animal Farm. "I. Will. Work. Harder!" Fuck. I actually just said to myself if I work an extra 70 hours in the next two weeks I can pay SAG. How horrifying. Of course, I busted my ass this time last year too because of Australia, so maybe it won't be so bad. It's all teh same thing really. At least I have goblin music.

Boxes boxes everywhere. I need to, among other things, do some strategic closet unpacking and repacking.

My cold is better, but the number one thing I hate about being sick is that I get restless legs really bad and can't sleep. I must have spent four hours last night moving around the bed aimlessly. Considering what time I may have to get up for the Taymor project tomorrow, I hope this part improves tonight.

Hey, it's really cold out. I'm not so keen on this.

Time to start making Kali her very own Slytherin scarf. Once I start it's speedy, but I'm crap at casting on and I just dread the beginning of anything crafty it seems -- cutting fabric, casting on.

Speaking of Kali and conniving interests, we won't catch the Rome finale until Tuesday.

My dreams continue to be weird and vivid. I've put up in my room for the first time the dreamcatcher elionwyr sent me some time ago, and I wonder... I do.

an extra 70 hours? yes, you are mad.

i hate boxes. i like everything to have a home, even if i choose not to put it there.

do you think that someone there is influencing the dream life?

NP.

well, the one thing worth remembering is I only work 28 - 32 hours a week at this job, so we're talking 60-hour weeks, not 75-hour weeks, and I've done it before. It also may be unavoidable with the deadlines coming up anyway.

As to the dreaming, I'm not sure what it is. Some of it is anxiety themes, certainly. And some of it is having a room that's so about pleasing the creatures in my head right now. I blame them, somewhat. But otherwise, I just don't bloody know. Certainly, it's a whole new world uptown. I mean, there's a botanica down the block that sells religious garments made of sackcloth!

Yipe!
Well...apologies just in case.
(Side note: It remains the only Slytherin dreamcatcher I've ever attempted.)

Don't apologize. It's fabulous, and really works with the new room deal. I will keep you posted. Heh.

I'm frustrated that it seems like every single damn movie has a different scarf pattern! Or maybe I just wasn't paying attention, which is possible.

Nope, there are only two, and there's a good reason for the switch in 4 -- the team they are cheering for at teh Quidditch World cup has nearly slytherin colors, so if you put a traditional football scarf on our gryffindors there, it looks like they are slytherins if you don't change the scarf design of the school scarves.
