my new plan to ensure that i have time to study vocabulary for my finnish test a week from today (given i have a 10-page paper to write by this friday) is that i am allowed to write small amounts of fic but not to do any recreational reading, not even of the print paperback i keep around for when i can't reach the computer, until the essay is written.

starting right after this one story¹...

also. for years i have been plagued with the medium-bad acne that runs in my dad's family, and been kind of lazy and not done a whole lot about it. but i finally got serious and at

isilya's encouragement started this, which is extremely simple but has added upwards of 30 minutes to my morning routine, unfortunately. i am afraid i'm going to have to start getting up an hour earlier to have time for skin care + walking the dog. that sucks, because hello, i already wake up at six. *mope*

1. whoa, that was brilliant. going on the recs page!
