spring cleaning

So I've been feeling very ready to get on with things, suddenly, and I have found that when one is in for a lifelong struggle with depression one should take advantage of those energetic moments when they come. I've accomplished things, though of course I feel that they are not the Big Important Things I should be doing. But it's better than not accomplishing anything.

In the small things is changing my LJ layout to something a little open and airy and summery. Pretty blue on white, very breezy, and it's an Expressive rather than Minimalist style, which might make me feel less self-conscious about making posts with no comments. The Expressive style has a little graphic with the number of comments that only shows up when you have them—no comments, no leaf for you!

I also took stock and got rid of piles of icons, mostly old HP ones and a few idol ones, and replaced them with a million Star Trek ones, yes, all by one icon maker. Sometimes you find someone who shares your ship and your aesthetic and you upload, er, 30 of their icons. This happens!

And now I'm off to cook—friends over for dinner, so I need to get the sauce on and the tiramisu soaking.
