Freaking Exhausted

crossover_chickYard Sale was kind of a nexus of frustration and -- well, I can't say "failure," not really. While we didn't sell as much stuff as we were hoping, we did sell a good chunk of the ephemera (magazines, sheet music, other paper goods), along with some other junk. I myself sold about $70 worth of stuff, including some DVDs, Blu-Rays, CDs, and even stuff like my old graphing calculator. Nice to have real money again, I gotta say.
But yeah, not as many people showed up as we would have liked, meaning there was still a bunch of stuff to pack up afterwards and prepare for moving either to the dump, local charitable organizations, or to storage. Just a very long day with a lot of shit to move and my parents getting all stressed out over it, which stresses me out, which -- yeah, just a bad cycle. Too tired and too grumpy once I got home to do any writing (also had a headache, which didn't help) -- although I DID do a queue for Valice Multiverse, so I guess we can count that. And I do have an idea for what I want to do tomorrow writing-wise -- one small scene insert in "Forgetting You." No major edits or anything like that -- just somebody pointed out I really should properly introduce Hysteria into the story, instead of just mentioning it as a given thing later on. And I remembered I actually DO have a scene I wrote up for it early on, but for some reason never actually included in the story. (Maybe I felt it took place too close to the scene after the scene break? But that ship sailed in the second Dollhouse chapter, so. . .) It also properly introduces the flaming Liddell door memories, so I think I'm gonna revise it and quickly stick it into the Hatter chapter of "Forgetting You." Always felt that needed a little more to it anyway.
Other major non-yard-sale accomplishment was catching up on videos -- Helloween had his Illusion of Gaia set (which included diamond mines and freeing slaves within, the Nazca drawings, sky gardens with mirror-image dark sides, battling demons on falling architecture, and crashing an airplane into some sort of ocean palace (no not that one)) and a new STALKER set up (which included an escort quest into the tunnels under Pripyat, save scumming to make sure certain idiots didn't die, and the main character outing himself as basically a military "spy" because plot). Good stuff, and it's nice to not have any of that hanging over my head before the beginning of the work week.
Speaking of, really do need my sleep here. And I'm all caught up on everything I can catch up with currently, so I'm hitting the sheets. Night all!
