What’s one of your favorite quotes? “The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pendants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.” — Ursula K. Le Guin
Favorite drink? mulled cider
Describe your ideal day. I did not work the day before, and i do not work the day after. There is no time pressure on this day. I already did laundry, and I already did my weekly shopping trip. I wake up at around seven, see a lovely good morning message and reply, then check my email and gleefully read a couple new comments on my fics, and then I just roll over and go back to sleep. I wake up properly at around 8:30. My bf has already started coffee for me. I feel motivated enough to make breakfast, and I dice up some veggies and make a breakfast skillet with sunny-side-up eggs and toast for the both of us. maybe we watch some cartoons or a movie while we eat.
literally most of the rest of the day is just spent writing and listening to music (oh, the record player! i play some vinyls i haven’t in a while) and talking with friends (they are all having lovely days too) and maybe playing a little bit of video games while listening to podcasts (and I stop before i feel guilty for wasting time, it’s not that kind of day). There is a thunderstorm at some point, quick and torrential with big dramatic visible bolts of lightning, but it passes quickly and the air is clear and soft when it does. maybe there’s a rainbow and i stare at it for a while and it’s okay.
and then I have sushi and wine for dinner, and then I write more, and then when i get sleepy i go to bed without delaying because tomorrow is gonna be alright too and i don’t have to stay up to put it off, not tonight. The window is open and the air is cool but not cold. the blankets are warm and big enough that i can wrap them around my shoulders without pulling them off my toes. my bf has the night off and he comes to nap with me while i fall asleep, and i don’t wake up when he slips back downstairs
