I was supposed to give a talk tomorrow - kind of lucky now that I planned to make the slides (or adapt the ones I had from a similar one) tomorrow on the train, since it just got cancelled. And by just, I do mean at half past ten at night. They've been nice about it and I could still have given it, but people would not have had the time to chat afterwards, at it is mainly about that scientific discussion that I care most. Oh well, trying again some time in March.
(Btw., I am moving in June/July, not April. Which is a big relief. Also means that we don't have to cancel our Madeira trip. And we may have just booked Crete. Well, it's a holidays for ♥ and half-holiday half-conference for me, but so is life. At least he get to snorkel without me getting bored or him feeling guilty for leaving me alone.)
What else? I did run this weekend. Actually, I was so upset on Friday night, when it looked like all my carefully laid travel plans for Tübingen, London and Crete would fall together because of a stupid thing I cannot not move if I want to keep my job (offer), that I went out and, for the first time in my whole life, perhaps, and definitely for the first time in my adult life did run five minutes non-stop and 16 minutes overall. Yeah, week four of C25K. Building stamina for hiking. And once I got home ♥ helped me to unravel my appointment knot. I still spend three weeks traveling somewhere every second day, partly getting up at 5 AM and partly getting home after midnight and still end up missing some of my favorite people visiting Germany, but there was no way around it ...
Otherwise this Sunday was a lot of work and procrastinating over work and being upset about people not being reliable or at least not admitting that they don't have time to do something (I mean, I offered to take over that job on Friday - but you told me that you can do it! So don't waste the whole Saturday with having done it half-heartedly in a way that made me repeat everything D:).
OK, OK, enough about being upset. You know what helps me when I am? Repetitive movements and Terry Pratchett audiobooks. Cue this:
Yes, those are Pokémon cross stitches. I'm going to buy smaller embroidery hoops and use them as frames and give those as presents to my two Pokémon-playing friends, who like this kind of crafty stuff themselves.
And if any of you - there is always a chance, right? - wants any, let me know! Preferably with a choice of a few of your favorite pokemon. Or even just one if you feel strongly about it. A group (say all evolution steps or all eevolution or ...) would also be cool, albeit it may be hard to find the right pattern. I'm dreading the moment the Articuno is done and it is definitely going to happen before the current book, "A Hat Full of Sky" is finished.
