untonugganDoing: sitting by the fire in the fireplace and trying to warm my aching joints, wrapped in knitwear. This is a fairly common position for me in winter even when it's not cold (because I looooove fire), except for when I'm ousted by other people who want the television in the same room.
Thinking: how much I am missing my morning routine, and how much routines can affect one. Not only am I turfed out of the bathroom and all that entails (usual place to shower gone, cleaning up plaster, etc.), but due to pain today there is no exercise and therefore less endorphins. Am hoping to counteract the typical grumpiness that goes along with this by showering myself with yarn and other comfort things.
Wondering about: water in the birdbath is frozen, mother hoping to get a birdbath defroster thingy...but what did birds do before birdbath defrosters?
Reading: a book on free machine sewing. Forget what it is called, but it is quite good. (It helps my brain that there are lots of photos.) Also, I got a couple books on organization but decided they were rubbish/I knew the non-rubbish bits.
Watching: 30 Rock on Netflix. I'm partway through season 1. Honestly, I started watching for Tina Fey, and now I am watching for the tension between her character and Alec Baldwin's. ETA: And Kenneth.
Bonus: If you like folk music, I highly recommend Lucy Kaplansky, who is a singer-songwriter-turned-psychologist-turned-singer-songwriter-again. Not because her songs are all psychoanalytical or anything, but because they are really beautiful.
So, what are you doing, thinking, wondering about, reading, watching, making, or writing, that you don't usually post about?

Before defrosters, before birdbaths, birds were still birds and did what came naturally.
IIRC, I stole the questions(-ish) from you in the first place, and I think you stole them from oursin (so by now it's a proper mini-meme, heh).

Date: 2013-01-22 08:55 pm (UTC)Thinking: about doing a bite-sized post when I find the time/spoons. I thought it would be good to link back to some of the earliest comm posts, about touchstones and daily lists and so forth.
Wondering about: whether I am even going to hear from the friend who said he wanted to come visit me today. Knowing what he can be like, I haven't bothered to do anything to prepare for a visitor.
Reading: Empire of Ivory, the 4th book in Naomi Novik's Temeraire series.
Watching: Tonight I'll be watching Australian Open tennis. Meanwhile, I'll come watch 30 Rock with you! :-D

Good luck with your visitor, whatever happens!
I have not heard of that series!
Mmmm, tennis. I haven't watched any since the summer olympics. Maybe I should change that...also, YAY 30 Rock! I just finished season 1!
