Back into form yesterday, work-wise! Decent sales, good customers. Busy, but not particularly stressful. The only issue I had was the beginnings of a migraine (light is what get me, and it's hard to avoid light in a fluorescent lit building), but I managed to nip that in the bud with a generous dose of Excedrin. Really glad it worked!
Last day of my work week today, so I find myself wondering what to do for my time off. I'm seriously thinking baking. There's a recipe I found for peanut butter bread that I really want to try and make. Only issue: I have no baking products! Easy enough fix. I'll bake the bread and my parents are insisting on fixing me dinner, so win-win, if I don't have to deal with my dad directly. Man's a walking storm cloud on a sunny day.
Starting an interesting book about the last emperor of Mexico. The emperor in question, Maximillian, was a German speaking Austrian installed as emperor at the urging of French Emperor Napoleon III and the bayonet points of 20,000 French troops. Napoleon wanted a buffer state he could control in order to curb American expansion. It... it backfired spectacularly.

"I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
