sunday.

I've had a genuinely awful day today.

Forgot to take my evening meds yesterday and have been suffering the moodswing consequences that always hit me head on the day after. Probably also something to do with hormones, since the monthly's approaching as well. So, all in all, I'm feeling completely unbalanced and a bit beside myself.

Have spent this whole day mostly sleeping, sitting at the computer or, once, barely making it to the nearby grocery store to buy dinner for K. and me.



I also finished watching Marcia Haydée's Lady of the Camellias and as predicted, the third act was just as strong as the first, this version just showed the weaknesses in the second act as a general thing. I really love this version on second-ish viewing, it has some incredibly strong dancers in almost all the leads. Special shout-out to Haydée as Marguerite and Gigi Hyatt as Olympia who was marvellous and... Lynne, I think she was called, the ballerina dancing Manon. She was true class as well. Out of the men, for some reason, I especially liked the guy dancing Des Grieux, his technique was amazing, so effortless! I also liked the dancer who portrayed Armand's father. Very charismatic.



Against all odds, I also managed to get started on the next scene for the smallfandombang fic! Not sure I particularly like it, but it's a start and I guess I can edit and/or rewrite myself to the rest. It's giving me a feel for the structure I'm going for, if nothing else.

When I'd first started it, I absolutely hated every word, but after I rewatched the ballabile part of the first act, some aspects of it actually remind me of that choreography, haha, so I might go with it, after all. I really love Giovanina, she's such a spunky, unfazeable girl. Very little, besides her own feelings when they get in her way, can shake her. But Napoli as a whole is full of strong female characters, Hübbe's vision to portray the Italian Donna has, all else aside, succeeded, I think.



However, we're reaching that stage of the evening where I'm not gonna get more writing done, maybe some editing if I'm lucky, but I should probably look around for another way to occupy my time. That's a tough one, always.

But especially when I just want to sleep the rest of the day away and wait for tomorrow to be better.
