akk: AKK - Schriftzug aus Blitzen (Default)
A ton of small things stalled writing to a hold the last week. The two most important things were that my new paper was subjected to a major revision (may it be accepted for publication now) and I was reminded that I have to replace most of my "winter equipment" this year (after last year's long snow period put the old stuff to the test), resulting in the shopping list below. I decided to work through it before other people started shopping for winter stuff around here.
  1. elk skin boots with 3cm natural latex soles. (The things cost 1/3 of my monthly salary, but I wore the last pair for 16 years straight without any hassles (and I have sensitive feet).) -- CHECK!
  2. half shoes with natural latex soles. I want these soles under my feet even when I don't need boots yet. -- Ordered. May they fit. Pretty please.
  3. rainproof leather sneakers in "office accepted style". -- Ordered. Ditto.
  4. fitting pair of fleece-lined leather gloves (no wool whatsoever!). Found today (and I certainly didn't expect that, given that it's been 15 years since I had gloves that weren't too wide with too short fingers). However, I better not tell my mother about the price tag attached to the deer skin pair I fell in love with at first try-on. ;) -- CHECK! Yay!
Feeling that I need this X-mas to restock my savings: very high indeed.
At least, my black leather coat, the deep winter jacket, the balaclava, and the pants are still fine...

Back to writing: hopefully tomorrow. Tonight will be spent on watching "Sungkyunkwan Scandal ep 17" (this time with subtitles)! :D
