Everything all at once.

clo_againBack in Lancaster and I think the moment I've got the chance to just *sit* and not have to worry about parents or... well, parents, everything's suddenly caught up with me and I'm zombified with tiredness. Though, that might be partly the damned cold I caught in Cardiff too.
But. *Back in Lancaster*. For two weeks I've been referring to it as "going back home" and been getting yelled at by the 'rents every time; "What do you mean?! This is home!" Only, not so much anymore. More home than a hotel, but not home-home, not home that's your happy place where you could wake up every day for the next forty years and be happy about it. Back in Lancaster and, despite self-defrosting freezers, windows that only open a couple of inches, only having two shelves of books instead of my bookcase and having to walk down four flights of stairs to check my post... all is once again right with the world.
Especially when my post includes the two newest Doctor Who books I haven't read yet. I might've jumped up and down a bit with glee when opening them. The question is though, do I read them now or do I get The Da Vinci Code, which I have to read for Long Fiction and started today, out of the way first? Hhhhhmmmmmmmm.
Hey, there's a thought; do we get Torchwood books anytime? Practically every other show in the 'verse does it these days, so I can't see why not. Besides, Jack's already given them a few plots from his immeasurable backstory, namely that thing about the twins...
I love this show. It's only now starting to dawn on me just how *much* I really do.
In News of A Fishy Nature, the Muppets survived the two weeks alone superbly; I didn't believe the blurb for the block of vacation food I gave them when it said it kept the water clean too but it's crystal. A little mortified that I didn't bring back the new gravel and pirate ship I promised them before Christmas but a trip into town tomorrow will fix that. Kermit really does look ridiculous trying to wind his too-long length under the small skull. They're doing a great job of soothing my Casper deprivation, which past experience suggests will really start to kick in tomorrow. I wish I could bring him back with me. I'm sure he'd help me chill enough to focus on my essay.
Essay. Ugh. I have two weeks from tomorrow to get it done but I wanted to push myself into finishing something *before* the deadline, for once in my life. Maybe I should give up on DaVinci *and* 'Who and start reading some Shakespeare.
...Not likely but I *should*.
I get to cook for myself for the first time in ages tonight and I'm torn between savouring that thought while I finish unpacking my clothes or going now and saying to hell with the clothes. Unpacking is the least fun of living in two places at once (the second being that I always, always forget something like my toothbrush. I now own two of everything like that, except mouthwash which is what I forget to bring with me this time. Curses!)
Maybe clothes until I get bored. Maybe nap. I don't know but I do know I can do whatever I like without having to explain it to anyone. *Finally*. Two weeks never went so fast but felt like they lasted so long.
edit: Dammit! I started this post to say something particular -- two things in fact -- then clean forgot.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
scoobydumblonde and kindoftrouble, picked up your Christmas cards just now because I forgot to check my post before going home. Thank you! :D And kindoftrouble and lossi, I've meaning to say this since Christmas and everything kept distracting me; the teapot is the most adorable thing I've ever seen. Thank you!:D

The covers are so pretty though...
