Summer can screw itself.

It is hot as balls around here.  I know a lot of other people are under heat advisories now, so you know of what I speak.  (Not a word, Noelle.  Not a single word.)  I pretty much have no desire to live.  I wake up every morning with all of these plans and all of these things I want to accomplish, and by the time I get home from work all I want to know is go into stand-by mode and lie down in a cool place.  Like yesterday - I was going to write!  Watch this movie a coworker lent me!  Work on Latin!  Clean my computer room!  What did I do?  I laid in bed, in my jim-jams, for four solid hours reading.  Which, don't get me wrong, reading is nice, but still.  I felt like I wasted my day off.

I am also super-tired of summer reading at work.  STOP READING BOOKS, KIDS.  I DO NOT WANT TO CHECK THEM IN ANYMORE.

As far as my writing goes, I'm having a problem with having way too many irons in the fire.  I'm writing, I just can't manage to get anything done.  I have two old B5 series languishing, my het_bigbang, this BSG/B5 crossover, tron20in20, another Tron series, my novel that I've kinda stalled on, and then this weekend I decided to start a new screenplay.  HALP.  

I have a bazillionty tabs open - I check my flist, open up all the posts I intend to read and comment on, and by the time I get done opening them all up I'm tired and ready for bed, or it's time to go to work.  I need to ask Gwyneth Paltrow for tips on how best to curate my social media.  I also need to copy/paste all the fic I have waiting and stick it on my ereader - that worked well the previous times I did it, in terms of finally getting stuff read.  I'm finding I have a shorter attention span when it comes to reading things on my computer. 

ANYWAY, now I'm off to bed, leaving a few more tabs open in the meantime.  Fnar.

It's so weird how people can respond so differently to the same stimuli. I like dreary days, LOL. Especially if I get to stay in and cuddle with some kitties and cover up with blankets and drink warm things! Oh, how I love fall and winter.

I'm with you on driving on scary roads, though. They are boo.

See, I like dreary days! I love dreary days, especially in the summer and fall, where they're all atmospheric and gloomy and rainy! It's that day after day, turning into weeks, turning into months of greyish/white skies with the sun setting before I even get out of work that starts to get to me, and I generally don't even realize it's happening until a spring day hits and suddenly I feel better (or the last year or two I've had the presence of mind before then to realize that that's probably why I'm feeling so depressed around February or March, and that my life isn't actually as hopeless as it seems). I just have mild SAD, I think.
