PSA

Don't try to play Trivial Pursuit with a cat on your lap. It isn't that they try to help move your pieces or eat the die, it is that xkcd was right. lawnchair started moving my pie instead of his own, and I couldn't remember what was the largest lake west of the Mississippi. We gave up.

Rewards

I rewarded myself for working on my GIS project by shopping. See, I like baths. Especially in winter, as they are one of the few ways to get all over warm. But, even with the humidifier going, the frequent bathing dries out my skin. And I'll just sit and suffer, as the itchy parts are covered in four layers of clothing. This morning I remember bath oil, but used up my last one. I remember having trouble finding bath oil beads last time, so I went to the one place that has them, a fancy bath stuff store downtown. I am stocked up.

Also stopped off at the Social Services League thrift store, as it was actually open. And for once I bought stuff - three books and a shirt. The books were mostly sorted by type, but I spotted one pair that shouldn't be next to each other. Donaldson's A Dark and Hungry God Arises next to Group Therapy. I laughted, as the Gap series would have been a lot shorter if the main characters had gotten some therapy.

Learning Your Habits

Both good and bad. Today is a bad one - my habit of procrastination then panic. I keep telling myself Monday it will be over. Trying to balance the deadline as a good thing (soon, I will have this semester done) and as a goad (no more procrastination), yet it isn't to much pressure (oh my god, a day left, I can't finish so let's start looking for excuses). Umm... anyone up for lunch on Monday around 1?
