Family, Orangutans, Plant Touching
I've had a great day chilling at my local zoo and dining out with relatives. My parents are in town and we managed to hit things at a time when many of the animals were actually active and not huddled up in a corner (there was a baby orangutan who harassed one of his elders into giving him leaves and then swung upside-down with them). My aunt and uncle, who happen to live nearby but whom I never see unless my dad is visiting, made a very nice dinner with an excess of brownies at the end. I've been undertaking a lot of exhausting entertaining for most of the week really (we've apparently walked seven miles in the past two days...), and this was probably the best day I've had of the visit thus far--although we're apparently hitting up a fancy cheese place tomorrow, which may tip the balance.
It's been a pretty crazy time. I'm trucking along with some more fic (ranging from the somewhat dark side of PG-13 to the extreme end of reprehensible) though, and I have finished painting pretty much everything on my to paint list even beyond my terrible cabinets. I'm chilling presently and watching this masterful educational programming.
Also: fairly proud of myself fandomwise today, even if fandom has not been on my mind all that much in the midst of everything else. I encountered somebody with very very bad mean-spirited opinions, and I forced myself to go outside and literally touch a plant instead of directly explaining that they were wrong.

As a regular producer of mean-spirited Internet opinions, I salute your gracious restraint.
