thinks to do

Headache today. I should go take some aspirin, huh? I didn’t write this morning, as I got up around 6:40, went downstairs, stared at the computer a while, and couldn’t think. So I went back to bed for an hour. :) I’ll write in a bit. Thinks to do today: 1. write 1700-3000 words 2. swim I think that may very well be all I’ve got to do today. Besides, y’know, work stuff, which I don’t put on this because I figure I can remember to do it anyway. I…

The house is quiet, no one but me and the dog are up, and the dog doesn’t disturb me much, especially if she’s got 1. water 2. a peanutbutter bone and 3. food. I anticipate finishing another chapter today, and hopefully finishing the rewrite of the preface-which-has-become-chapter-one of Manifest Destiny.

i gymmed!

I gymmed! I even biked 4 miles! I’ll probably have bike butt tomorrow. :) It was a pretty good workout. Before that, unfortunately, I slipped on the ice and fell under the Jeep, whanging the hell out of my left knee, landing on my right butt cheek, and causing my back to crunch in several places. I will be very grateful to only have a bruised knee and butt tomorrow, and not a whanged-up back. I really, really don’t want a mucked up back. :/ Part of my brain thinks…
