midweek

I really don't feel like thinking or writing or speaking at all. (Surely you know days like this.)

Things I do feel like doing include:

knitting

baking

sleeping

reading

doodling

painting

ice skating

and

aimlessly ambling about.

I balance in between. I knit in class. I go to bed early and wake up to dreams of ice skating. (I've actually dreamt of skating four nights in a row now.) I take little impromptu walks sometimes, to the seaside or childhood parks. I don't bite my nails. Honestly, I don't. 

I do adore this time of year but all this university business is a bit too demanding. (On a brighter note, the trickling of emails beginning 'Dear Ms Kayhko, thank you for your application' has been making my heart stutter in all the good ways.) 

Also I still feel like Christmas and my condition is definitely not improving: I saw the first Christmas calendars on sale today. 'Tis the season, except not yet really.
