And I do like slinging gin for the greater good.
I just needed to see that sentence again; it's so delightful!
Last night an all-new experience: woke up shivering and soaking wet, having just suffered a full-body sweat that soaked through my PJs and the comforter and the mattress. No other bodily fluids, no flop-sweat stink, just water shooting out of every pore. I've had occasional night sweats before, but never this bad.
Mid-morning now, airing everything out now and wearing a soft long-sleeved top snagged from Nordstrom Rack yesterday, getting ready for another trip to Nordstrom Rack for new PJs and maybe sweatpants. The shirt I'm wearing isn't my style at all, but it is exactly the kind of thing my oldest friend would wear and I find that comforting, like she's here with me now (instead of in London where she actually is now, how dare she).
Almost done with Men At Arms and sad to have it nearly over; will next read a Roz Chast graphic memoir and an Edward Eager. What are other folks reading? Including fic?
While in SF I decided maaaaaybe it was time to check out this Lois McMaster Bujold person and that has been keeping me in reading material for some time to come (although my library is missing a big chunk from the Vorkosigan books so I switched to the Five Gods stuff). I also devoured Naomi Novik's Scholomance series.
(This is a response to JZ, not random non sequiturs like in another ten months I'll show up and tell you all my favorite bus.)
Edit: Favorite bugs. My favorite bus is the 22.
The 22 is pretty awesome. There aren't that many buses crossing the city north to south and doing a decent job, but the 22 gets it done.
I definitely will have a look at Bujold, and I think David may have some Novik floating around the house (the house! not shorthand for the apartment, but the actual house!).
I actually left behind the Bujold (Barrayar) because I had finished it before I left. Hec may have done something with it (I had a vague idea that it could go back to Borderlands as though it never left), but if not it may still be sitting in the apartment! It's sort of the second book (or third, but...eh), but I had no trouble with it as my entry point.
having just suffered a full-body sweat
No fun.
The most important thing to do after that is re-hydrate.
Emily! I forgot to say before because I am a bad host, but thank you so much for the watercolors! The teeny tiny one is already framed downstairs.
Glad to know favorite bugs and buses!
Currently reading: Promises Stronger Than Darkness (e-book) and the first Lockwood & Co (audio). And the new Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction came today so I'll need to be starting that
I would like to note that Target had some cute and soft PJs that I was strong-willed enough to not buy yesterday
I'm currently reading my UK hard copy of The Screaming Staircase (first Lockwood & Co. book) while down with a cold. If my attention span degrades further, might just switch to the nine million L&Co. AO3 tabs I have open.
Colds. Dislike.
Listening to it on your rec, I think!
