Right now:

• I just took a very unsatisfactory shower (the thing broke and they only got it half fixed before the holiday), but I feel better anyway
• I have a horrible cold--sore throat, coughing, mucus, the whole deal
• I broke my favorite teacup while I was busy not sleeping last night because my arm was just enough asleep (when the rest of me wasn't) to affect my grip
• Mom replaced it with her antique Chinese tea cup from when we lived overseas, and it's lovely, but now I'm afraid I'm going to break that one, too
• Nasal irrigation is really gross when you have a head cold, but it helps so much
• I wish City of Bones was out already so that I can go see it right now
• Making nail polish has made my synaesthesia more noticeable; I'm always concerned about what color things are now, and it's a little weird, but also feels like I'm using my brain for the right things for the first time in a long time
• I had no less than five ideas for middle-grade stories series the other day; I've never written middle-grade. Now I feel the need to read a bunch of it to refresh my mind on how it works.
• I'm suddenly in love with the Rubaiyat poem structure; lets see if anything comes of it
• My feet are cold, but there's tea in my belly
• I've been having a melancholy week; this holiday season is off to a great start, mentally and emotionally (sarcasm mark)
• I can't wait until I get all my books up here and out of storage; I'm dying to reread some of them
