Getting going

And autumn is definitely here seeing as I have to wade through leaves to get to the car.

Been looking at ways to work on my self-discipline and have been trying to get up at 6 every morning (in the cold, in the dark...). Needless to say, it hasn't always worked, especially since nice warm James is back, but I did find that I was getting up much earlier than I have of late. I've pin pointed the main problem as not having something set to do as soon as I get up. Trying to decide how to handle that. Exercise would be good, but comes across as very daunting that early. Masters work will simply set me nodding again.

Masters
I've been doing a lot of reading and contemplating, but not really getting stuff written. Managed to get myself so completely caught up in the "What is cultural history?" question that I ended up confusing myself. Have since retreated and gone back to "I think this is history" and "Why I think it's history" line that I've always preferred from Carr's What is history? Face it, in my opinion it's not very practical to try and separate history into all it's nuances. Technically I'm doing large amounts of cultural, economic, and social history, with some technology history.

However, THIS week I want to get something written!

Project Hot Stuff
Been good, been bad. Lost some, gained some. Did drop to an all time low, but picked a bit up again. Aim this week: get below a certain number and stay there for more than a day. Maybe I should bum that list of what to eat and not eat off Dina.

Wargaming
I now have 20 blood claws assembled and mostly painted. The drop pod is slowly making head way, and I have ten termies half assembled and a-waiting paint. Though I'm going to start painting them so long, I need to put in an order for 4mm x 1.5mm disk magnets. I've decided to splurge the extra and give them interchangeable weapons since the Space Wolf terminators are suppose to all be highly unique. Magnets make them easier to customise, while keeping them flexible.

In addition I've put together and painted the old metal dreadnought that was lying around, and also started on my rune priest. Been trying to get things to a certain degree of "finished" so that I'm ready when I receive the two battleforce kits I ordered!

Cats
Zorn's been rather mew-y of late, constantly complaining unhappily about something or other. She does seem happy to have James home again - curls up in the cutest positions on his lap. Zwerch varies between being supper cuddly, and a typical boy cat (doesn't let you touch him, ignores you). Men.
