Having serious troubles with productivity lately. And it's stressing me out to the point where even thinking about the things that I haven't done makes me nauseous. It's dumb and I realise I kind of just need to chill out, but just telling myself that doesn't seem to work and I don't know how to make it happen. I miss the days when thousands of words would just happen every day, without a terrible amount of effort on my part. Why can't I do that anymore?

My body also continues to protest life in general. The other day I woke up with my ear hurting a little. By yesterday night, it was incredibly painful, had spread to my jaw, and it was starting to become difficult to hear out of that ear. This morning, I woke up after two hours of sleep nauseous and wanting to cry because the whole side of my face hurt. And I can barely hear out of that ear. Beka took me to a clinic yesterday, where we found out that it is, in fact, an ear infection, and I have some antibiotics for it, but those take a few days to kick in. And it's hard to eat when moving my jaw hurts so much. I am not amused.

I'm on an epic Whoniverse rewatch kick, though, which makes me feel a little better about life. I don't know why, but it does. I'm almost to the end of S2 of Doctor Who right now. After that comes Torchwood S1. I'm excited for that, partially because OMG new Torchwood soon, and partially because I signed up for [livejournal.com profile] writerinadrawer this round and that's coming up... pretty soon... Let's hope my writing mojo comes back before that. Or for that.

At some point soon, I plan to start reading the stuff for [livejournal.com profile] tardis_bigbang too. I hear there's a Doctor/River/Jack fic up there, so I'm really looking forward to that. I just have to get over my residual sulk over utterly failing at my own Big Bang. (I fully intend to finish it at some point - possibly for the next round of the Big Bang - I'm just annoyed. At myself, really, and very envious of those writers who managed theirs. MY WRITING ISSUES. LET ME SHOW YOU THEM.)

Waking up every few hours because it feels like there is a KNIFE in your ear is not the most fun thing in the world. Just so you all know. Mrrrrh.

Also, this:



Simba wished to say hello to the internet. Because he's a cat, I decided it was best not to argue with him.
