lucy update

Lucy was scheduled for a dental with no extractions, which meant they had to talk to me if they were going to do anything else. And the very nice man doing the cleaning did call me, and said that when the tartar was removed her roots were exposed on the upper teeth, and that he felt she would heal better and not need to go back in a couple months to have them extracted if he did the job now. So after talking to him I felt that I was…

wiped out

Man. I’ve been working on this grant most of the day and I’m bloody well knackered. It’s…almost done. I gotta print out some letters, and finish my artist’s CV (which feels really difficult to do well), and…that might be it. Then I have to send it back to Dad for the budgetary stuff, I guess.

I stayed very busy today, and yet managed to not actually do the one thing I really should have, which is the grant. I am intimidated by the grant.

If I get busy, I can probably get the grant done before the updater’s finished applying the patch, which will then permit me to play Issue 12 without…

woot!

I have finished my Subterranean Press short story! Jeez, that was 3K that took. All. Day. Long. But it’s done, and it…didn’t turn out to be at all the kind of story I thought it was going to be. But I think I like it, and I’m pleased with having written it. That’s *two* short stories written in the last 6 months! Goodness gracious! Well. My goodness. I’m quite pleased! *does a happy dance* ytd wordcount: 205,400 miles to Minas Tirith: 441.3
