dbskylerI don't cook nearly enough, and this morning I decided I was going to make french toast. I even had some challah bread on hand for making it. At the last minute I decided to doublecheck my maple syrup, and lo and behold, I didn't have any. So then I had to go out to the grocery store to go buy maple syrup so I could make myself french toast. (This is why I don't cook.) But I did it, I went out and bought the maple syrup, returned to the apartment and made the french toast. And believe it or not, that actually made me feel accomplished.
On the writing front, my 500-word entry to the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
dw_historical ficfest is at 2,887 words and counting. I have the beginning and the end of the story, but I am still working on two pieces of the middle. I had hoped to get it finished this weekend, at least in terms of having a complete draft, but that's not looking too likely right now. But I'll try sitting down with it after dinner and who knows, maybe I'll get inspired and figure out what happens in those last little scenes. I'm going to be very interested to see what reaction I get to the story when it's posted -- it's supposed to be humorous, but it's hard to judge whether anyone else will find it funny. Oh well, it's all about the challenge and the process, right?
I've really been in the mood for reading hurt/comfort fic lately. I think it's because I've been feeling a little down. I'll be away for Thanksgiving and I have this big thing at work that I really need to finish before I go, and I have been completely unmotivated to do it. I think I need something exciting to look forward to. Maybe I need to plan a trip somewhere. I'd love to go to London for a long weekend, except I'm afraid of it being all wintry and cold. But it might be worth doing anyway. Or I could plan it for spring, but that feels like such a long ways away right now.
