I'm having one of those days where I can't accomplish much of anything, or don't feel like anything I do is worth much. I managed to edit close to 15 pages out of the paper I am giving next week, down to 13 from 27. I need to conclude it better, though, and it should only be about 12, or 20 minutes long. It is a thesis chapter with everything not about the Carolinas hacked out. Maybe it will win me a prize, but either way it is a conference paper of sorts. I like my thesis research archaeologically but I've never felt that it is 'mine' enough to present a paper on. It relies too much on compiling stuff form other people's work. Is that an odd thing? Well the history is very solid, regardless.
Apart from that I walked around for two hours running errands, including fetching myself some anti-bee drugs and cashing my insurance check. I got my utility bill in the mail today, so that I can have a better idea about how to budget this, woo-hoo. On Monday I will go get my inhaler prescriptions renewed, and go from there. I need to get up to Petsmart though and get some hammy bedding, desperately. I guess I'm luck that Scallywag doesn't actually pee in his bedding, so I can 'clean' his cage without actually replacing that, but it is full of seeds and poo which is still unpleasant, I'm sure.
Apart from that, I slept in past noon, had a two hour nap between five and seven, and had a two hour bath during which I finished reading Perfume, the Story of a Murderer. I enjoyed it, but I was not overwhelmed by it I don't think. But I would like to state for the record that I Smell Nice, and in fact am more likely to receive compliments about my scent when I am not wearing perfume, which is kind of sad, because I really *like* perfume. Ahh well. The bees are making me all melancholy (whiny) and listless (lazy). I'm going to see about finishing that essay and maybe work on editing some of my other chapters. Or maybe I will work on Pieces, even though the bees are telling me to give up on it again, insert passive aggressive whinging here :p
*sigh* I'm annoying myself.
