Unexpected day to myself
Jul. 20th, 2014 12:59 pmYesterday, while we were going through the cupboards and finding a bunch of stuff my mum had forgotten she even had, we decided that today was going to be spent pulling everything out of all of the cupboards, giving the insides a good scrubbing, and laying new contact paper. Because it's been a while.
My mum's decided that she doesn't want to do that today. She's gone down to get the new contact paper, so I can do it tomorrow while she's at work. I guess after two solid days of manual labour, she's done. Which is good, because I was done early yesterday. So while she putters about outside, doing whatever she does to keep herself busy, I'm gonna try to get some writing done. I've almost got an update for my Loki/Darcy fic ready, and then I'm gonna do a coin toss over whether I work on my Norse Big Bang fic, or my Camp NaNo project.
On a ficcish front, I've been trying to do more reading lately. I don't read fic anymore, mostly because I hate reading at my computer, and my phone is evil. I used to read on my netbook, before it went kablooey, and then kind of stopped after that, because trying to read fic on an iPhone is an exercise in migraine-having. So earlier today, I went across the street to Best Buy to look at eReaders, and found a refurbished Android Tablet for $30. I've wanted one for ages, so now I finally have one. Yay!
Since it's not just an eReader, and a full-on tablet, I'm gonna look into the best way to write with that as well. I'm not overly thrilled with Gdocs, but if it works, it works. We'll see. Also, I'm gonna see if it has any apps that'll work for letting me do my embroidery away from my computer. Basically, everything I do makes me stuck to this thing, and sometimes, I want to go somewhere else. Maybe I can, now.
