various states of ow

- job is being exhaaaausting, but am still alive. I have an honest-to-god weekend off so am trying to clean most of the things tonight so I can get on with my real life for a while.

- every time I dig a few hundred words out a sequential backup after a crash, I treasure yWriter a little bit more. O god this program is amazing at saving me from my own ineptitude.

- yesterday I spent lots of money in the way one has to about once a month. It was not all strictly necessary and I hate myself for that but fuck it I need good shampoo and things to plot against people with as well as onions, coffee and an electricity supply. :/

- I am almost non-sick, but not quite. This + the change of seasons is making me dehydrated and giving me annoyingly chapped lips.

- d. soldiers on, to the tune of almost 7k now (I am enough of a lightweight that this constitutes srs bsns); I'm trying to do at least a little bit every day. In the last week it has acquired a gigantic detour that I have decided to use as an intro, even though it is almost half of the total current text; I keep going over everything that is wrong the very existence of said intro but I can cut said rant down to three words - Eric And Steve. Because AU as an excuse for self-indulgent batshippery (batshipmanship? batshipwrightry?) gets kinda massively embarrassing after a while. There is one legit good line in it. I'm getting back on with the rest of the story now, and worrying about the framing plot's ability to contain it, but ffs I don't care if this is a massive ball of fail, I just need to compromise with it and get it done. The premise was a gift and there's someone I have to pass that on to.
