Adding up the cost of these dreams

Took my car in for service yesterday (it's a long saga that involves me wanting to sue people) and it's going to take 3-5 days to get the repairs done and $3000 more than I thought it would. I have my mom's car since she drove it down to my house so I could take her to the airport, but otherwise I'm stuck at home for the week - the reason I did it on mid-winter break). I mean, I could walk places, but it's cold and windy and potentially raining and/or snowy.

I'm thinking about looking into online classes of some sort. Obviously I can't have unstructured free time because it's bad for my brain. I did clean out our pantry and fridge yesterday as well as make taco chicken and rice. My mom brought me 2 dozen eggs when she left which was really too many as I already had 36, so I made egg salad too. I think I might have to do some baking. I'm trying to make six recipes that are new to me, but no one at home eats desserts and the husband is eating tofu (ugh) and the kidlet is eating either Hamburger Helper, orange chicken, or spaghettios (at least he's moved on from JUST spaghettios.) So making stuff while I'm not going to school to share seems pointless.

I have 11k words of my Heated Rivalry fic, but now I'm at a point where I hate it. It's kind of a retelling of the show from Ilya's POV and it feels derivative and boring. I don't think it IS, mind you. It's probably just my brain, but eh. We'll see what happens.

I'm not sure what today's plan is - possibly writing, possibly reading, possibly cleaning, possibly being a lump. So many choices.

In good news - TAI releases a new song tomorrow. Another month + for the whole album, but I've enjoyed 2005. I mentioned to Bill that the sound of it reminds me a lot of his solo stuff. We'll have to see if that keeps up. Also, 2005. Summer of like. Sigh.
