I just put on the TV to watch the news - only to realize that Oh God, it's Obama day.
Let's see how long I'll manage to watch - so far I've had to put the TV on mute three times already because they were interviewing waiting "fans" and it was just too embarrassing to listen to. As fannish as I can be in every aspect of my life (and if there is something I'm interested in, no matter which area of life, I tend to get obsessive), but in politics it's something I just cannot bear, it completely creeps me out.

Sad orchid news: my beautiful Burr. Nelly Isler is infested by spider mites! :/ They can't stand high humidity, so I'm a bit baffled as I take care to spray my orchids with water every morning, but I've sprayed her several times now and put her into a plastic bag - 3-4 days in there and the mites should be gone, at least that's what the experts say. Of course the mites would go and settle on the one orchid that is currently in bloom. *sigh*

The event planning thing I got saddled with is still most annoying - never again am I going to do someone a favour like this. Unfortunately the chocolate is gone, but I think I'll reward myself with an evening of monster slaying. I installed Titan Quest two weeks ago and it's actually a lot of fun, more mindless than the RPGs I usually like, but great for relaxing. In any case, it's just one week left now until DSA: Drakensang will be out, a game I've waited for 15 years. I've preordered the collectors edition and cannot wait to make myself a Glorfindel and once more walk the world of Aventuria!

Whooo - it is DONE! 3 days before the deadline, and here I thought I would wind up finishing a minute before the deadline as usual. About 9500 word and all my recipient's requests met, I hope. It was a hellish week - my father and E. went on a 2-week trip to a tiny internet-less village in Crete, only they are right now organizing a couple of rather big events, so they asked me whether I could just daily log into their email accounts and deal with any important stuff that comes up, as well as see to the printing/posting of flyers and some other stuff. *headdesks* Only half an hour of explaining things to me just isn't enough to enable me to answer urgent mails, and the printer suddenly decided that they'll ship to the whole EU but not to Austria, so they'll have to send 25000 flyers to me and I will have to send them to Austria myself, which is going to take an additional 4 days, and then the printer pretends he didn't get the data from the designer even though he got a confirmation mail from the printer, and as the designer went on a 4-day holiday it's taken another additional 4 days now...

Yep, yesterday I gave in and bought myself chocolate, which I haven't done in months, but I really deserved it. Right now I am just so relieved that I finished the AinA challenge story in time! And not only that, but I'm really happy with it as well - when I first got the request I didn't know what to write at all, but the story I have come up with hopefully makes sense. It does to me, at least. :)

I'm also really looking forward to the story I'll get, after this really hectic week I deserve some nice slash. And now I have a couple of other things to get back to, like the livelongnmarry fundraiser ($43 617.43, isn't it just awesome?), which means writing another story (though I have two months for that, phew, and already a few good ideas) as well as finally getting to make some soap again.

And yes, I know, there is Cuil Eden... I haven't forgotten that. Due to AinA I haven't even started on chapter 62 yet, but maybe I'll do so later today - first I need a nice cup of relaxing herbal tea.
