nothing to see here, move along

Feeling much better. Not a hundred percent well, but much better. I even feel up to running some errands this morning, after spending the entire weekend totally happy to be a lump at the computer or in front of the television. (Speaking of which, Stardust is still a wonderful movie, and it’s silly how completely delighted I am by how Yvaine shines. It just makes me happy. And also speaking of which, wow, the Smallville season finale was…peculiar.) The cemurphy.net writing page has finally been updated with purchase links to…

I done doed it.

After poking around on the net all day I came across zazzle.com, which appears to have pretty much all the formatting elements I want out of a calendar-creator, so I went ahead and made an Ireland 2010 calendar.

I feel incredibly whiny and irritated with myself for being whiny. :p Working on…

I have no halfway setting.

I’ve walked about twenty-three miles in the last 2.5 days. For some reason this morning I was very tired and didn’t feel all that much like swimming. I suspect I’m overdoing it, although I swear I don’t /mean/ to. It’s just that, y’know, I walked to the pool yesterday, and if I leave the house again even once after that it’s at least five miles of walking that day (more, actually, since I took the long way round to the pool) and I left the house twice, so I accidentally…
