Still no time-turner

[schneefink]

Every time I feel like I'm behind on everything I should/want to do, which recently is often, I have to remind myself that the reason for it is because I was busy doing fun things with friends and family, like playing games or watching movies or trying out stand-up paddling (which was fun, but I wasn't careful enough and got a very bad sunburn, especially on my feet.)

Last week I went shopping for clothes, originally with my cousin to find something for her and then the second time on my own (though I kept sending pictures to DD asking for advice.) I'm generally not the biggest fan of going shopping but for some reason this time I enjoyed it a lot. It's a very nice feeling to find something pretty that I'll enjoy wearing. And I can afford it, so why not? I think I might try it more often.

I also finally finished a TMA fic that was almost done for months, then got a major edit, and then was again almost finished for weeks. I didn't post it yet because I decided to save it for a rainy day: sometimes when I feel bad, posting fic helps. It's nice having one in reserve, although I will probably get impatient and post it earlier, we'll see.
And I finally started writing a Skyjacks fic for h/c-bingo, and was immediately reminded of the difficulties of writing fic set in the future for a story in progress… ah well, that part shouldn't be too difficult to edit if something important does change. I hope.

I recognize me all too well in the "have to remind myself I did things that were also fun and good" whenever I feel behind on Everything. Stand-up paddling sounds like quite the challenge, especially in the foot department XD

Shopping isn't my usual choice of activity either, but it can definitely be fun with the right company and the right 'goals'. Hope you get to have fun with that again!

And yay, fic! Best of luck in your writing, and smart to keep a fic around for posting on a rainy day <3

Stand-up paddling was fun: not falling down was easier than expected, except when I tried to turn on the board ^^ Fortunately there were almost no waves.

I have more than enough clothes for the summer now, but I already look forward to the fall sales :)
