12:32 pm: Things Of Misery
There's the thing. You know.

Also, ranging from the argh to the argharghargh:

I got hardly any sleep last night.
I am about to treat myself to a double-shot espresso and an almond croissant. (WOE and FAIL: all the nearby places that sell almond croissant had sold out. I went to three places and finally made do with what I thought was a pain au raisin and turned out to be a pain au chocolat cunningly disguised.) (Talking to a colleague in another organisation about the thing: she said "You need a cake.")
I made myself ten minutes later this morning hanging washing out on the line because it looked like it was going to be a lovely day, and it is now pouring with rain so the washing will be soaked and will probably (at least) need to be spun and hung up on the pulley in the kitchen. Argh.
I left windows open.
I think Wolf is out. (Though he will probably just find a dry spot to shelter in and complain at me when I get home.)
My roof still leaks a bit.
I have some stuff I have to get done at work before I can get home and I feel like I just want to curl up into a ball and pull the covers over my head.
I got hardly any sleep last night.

Tell me good stuff. I don't care what. Or share your misery. Or tell me something interesting or useful.

Something.

Argharghargh.

There is some evidence that a wolf is living in my region. A killed sheep was found a few weeks ago. Good news, I think. There are already wolves in the far eastern part of Germany but they've not been seen in my region.
The jokes have already started. Eastern Germany is so densely populated that wolves come back etc.
You know why I talked about this topic, right? :)

Because of a wolf called Argh? ;-)

Ooh, wolves...

A day and a half into my new box of maille links, I've already got epic calluses forming on my fingers.

The cafe worker today will give me epic amounts of coffee to get me through the day because I commiserate li3k whoa with them--oh, and tell them sneaky ways to drive the guy who's sexually harassing them mental.

My rubber band ball is growing again.

Watchmen comic = exceptionally deranged but fascinating.

Epic calluses! In verse?

Epic coffee! A latte is a sonnet and a cappuchino is a cinquain and a mocha is a limerick and an espresso is a haiku. But filter coffee is EPIC.

I love growing rubber band balls.

Mine was a caramel mocha with four shots of espresso, so it was more like the random street performer trying out slam poetry.

Suddenly, I want to rush out to Starbucks and get one of those.

Fortunately, the nearest one is closed.

Starbucks doesn't do it as well as SBC, too--they use bittersweet chocolate (and too much of it) & caramel syrup (ick!) while we use milk chocolate & caramel sauce.

My sleepwalking, sleeptalking suitemate did a wonderful impression of being awake last night. HIlarity ensued. That's good in a funny kind of way I guess.

As a sleepwalker/sleeptalker, I am... not actually amused, sorry.

(It feels like every single time I have shared a room with someone and forgotten to warn them that I talk in my sleep, I have then talked in my sleep - and it's taken quite some talking when awake to convince them that I was not being deliberately offensive, weird, annoying, strange, or difficult: just asleep.)

I haven't walked in my sleep for years and years, I think.

Well she didn't have to convince us - it was pretty obvious when she told us that she couldn't remember anything we'd said to her (or anything that she'd said to us) while she was asleep.

I decided to whine in my own journal, but I'm sorry you're having a bad time of it.

A good thing: I'm wearing a leather jacket that Mr Sweetie bought basically for 10 euro (along with a leather long-coat, to replace one Gotten At by the cats; but the replacement was about 2/3rds the price of my charity shop purchased predecessor) - second hands in both cases, but, amazingly for not having been able to try on either one, they both fit and look good.

I would also like to return this Friday as defective, thank you. Good idea.

Your leather jacket sounds wonderful, though.

I too got hardly any sleep last night. Um.

Probably in response to the amount of traveling we've been doing, our cats have become incredibly clingy. I am in favor of neurotically codependent cats; Katrine is in my lap every chance she gets. Not so good for the state of my clothing, but excellent for the state of me. That's a good thing. And I love waking up with them clamping me on either side.

I would too.

I love it when both my cats are napping on the bed - both wanting to be there too much to complain about the other one. But both of them want me to themselves - neither one will sit on me if the other one is there.

One new book-case is up and waiting to migrate to its new home and be filled with the books from the table, that used to be a dining-able but is now a pile-of-books!

I have a new fandom: Merlin. All the episodes so far are available on the BBC iPlayer. It has been described thus: "It's like a 'Smallville' set in some sort of version of arthurian legends, but the boys are going to be BFF!" I am enjoying it.
