Been absolutely wiped out all day. Lethargic. Uncaring. And yet bored. A bad combination. I think (I hope) it mostly stems from not getting a good night's sleep. Ken was sniffly (allergies, probably. He never had them until we went to Britain, and then he had them every spring. Now I think he's stuck with them, even though we're back.) so he kept tossing and turning, which would wake me up and force me to re-cuddle. It was also very hot today. Anyway, the alarm went off early because Ken wanted to go to a garage sale that advertised a radial arm saw. I ended up not going with him; I just couldn't drag myself out of bed. (And the garage sale didn't exist, just to make things worse. I think they meant to say "Saturday and Sunday" and not "Friday and Saturday").

Eventually I got up, but I fell back asleep on the couch, sort of. That always makes me groggy. I did get about an hour's worth of copyediting done, and then I showered and headed out to my eye appt. I'm truly grateful, on a daily basis, that I live in this time and have money, because if I didn't, I'd probably be dead from the blindness (fallen off a cliff, eaten by wolves…). But I also get depressed because of my rotten eyesight and how it's hard to drive at night and such. Blech ptui.

After that, I went to the good used bookstore, and bought a bunch of romances (mostly Silhouettes) and one of the Year's Best Fantasy & Horror (the Datlow & Windling ones). I want to collect all of them, but they're so flipping expensive. And most people don't re-sell them. So I guess I need to start asking for them for Yule and my birthday.

I stood in line forever at the PO to mail stuff, and picked up a few things at the drugstore and grocery store, and finally came home. It kind of sucked that Ken was home all day and I was gone for three hours, but he was mostly working on the outbuilding anyway. I had tea and gingersnaps, but they didn't wake me up. I lounged and read. I stared at e-mail. I watched a "Charmed" rerun and talked to Ken when he came inside, and then we watched a rerun of one of the best “Buffy” episodes, "Doppelgangland". Evil Willow in leather, Faith in skimpy clothes, and great dialogue. Yay.

Then I made meatloaf and risotto and asparagus, and we watched Home & Garden TV shows. Ken just went to bed and I’m about to join him. I’d hoped to hit 15K for the month, but I’m just shy of that. It’ll be a good goal to surpass for next month. Tomorrow, I’ll also do a recap of January and how I did with my goals. [insert ominous theme music here]
