TGIF

I'm still trying to figure out what to call the first meal of the day, eaten sometime between the time for lunch and the time for dinner, and eaten at least five or six hours after I got up. I also really have to stop doing that, since today is the second day in a row in which I've done it. (Actually, yesterday it was dinner, because I ate it after karate, at which point it was 10:30. Which is a late dinner, but dinner all the same.)

I've just inhaled a Monster Burrito From Hell, having spent the day up till 4:30 in the lab finishing the nasty part of my L10N midterm. There's another part to it, but that isn't due until Wednesday and shouldn't involve a day and a half of sitting in front of computers trying to figure out how to translate error messages into French and resizing buttons and labels and such in order to make their captions stop getting cut off. (And swearing at Trados, which for some reason doesn't want to close things half the time, and when Trados doesn't close, you can't do anything else with the document. I had to force Word to quit entirely.) That's done now, though, so I can go on to tomorrow's list, which is non-academic and consists of cleaning my entire apartment, doing laundry and going grocery shopping. I might even get some cleaning done tonight if I stop feeling like I've been hit by a train.

I suppose if I'm going to cross things off a list, it would help if I wrote out the list in the first place.

ARGH

I seem to have ruined a $30 piece of linen, because I forgot that 32-count linen over 2 threads works out to 16 stitches per inch, and the piece I cut out of the $30 piece is too small. On top of which, I can't get a piece the right size out of what I've got left. I really shouldn't cut linen when I'm thinking about seventeen other things.
