Today I have:

- Discovered that I have a cold.

- Consumed a hell of a lot of orange juice, therefore.

- Bought my first set of circular knitting needles. I am making a shawl! The needles are size seven and good gods, they are huge after working with size two's to make socks. Not that I don't have socks that I'm still working on, but...

- Made cookies.

- Discovered that, as far as I can tell, all of DS9 is up on youtube.


Therefore, once the cookies are done baking, the plan for the rest of the afternoon = knitting and DS9. Best plan ever.

Tomorrow, Rosie is leaving. I am dealing with this by thinking about taking her back to the breeder as a sort of...nursing home or assisted living thing. If a member of my family needed that sort of situation, I would be sad about it, but I would know that they were being taken care of by people who were better at it than me. This is the same sort of thing, except that it involves a farm*, other dogs, and hopefully chase-able rabbits. The amount of crying involved on my part would probably be the same, though. Stupid over-active tear ducts.

This is me using light-hearted chatter to keep myself from dehydration brought on by crying. It's working, a little bit.



Also working - distractions. Today's distraction is DS9, which is just as much fun as I remembered. Things I had not remembered: exactly how much of a doofus Julian is at the beginning. Oh, Julian. You make me alt-tab away in vicarious embarrassment. Also, the plot of Past Prologue. I know that I've watched that episode. I'm pretty sure that I've seen it several times. I just don't think that I've ever actually paid any attention to the scenes that Garak isn't in before. It's not a bad plot, really.

To be fair, I don't remember the plots of the most of the episodes in season 1. So that'll be fun to rediscover.







*An actual, non-euphemistic farm. There was a bit of an unfortunate miscommunication when we first tried to tell my sisters about this plan.
