After 50k and then a week with a cold, I spent ALL WEEKEND asleep, my friends. ALL weekend. I went to bed early. I napped. I went to bed early even after napping. I napped MORE. I went to bed early AGAIN. At that point I really didn’t expect to sleep well, but…I did.
I managed not to nap yesterday, went to bed at a reasonable hour, and was RUDELY awakened by my alarm this morning, despite imagining I might actually wake up a bit early due to all the sleeping. Apparently I will require many more early nights before that happens.
On the other hand, my poor husband, who stayed up much too late on Sunday because he was being a good daddy and waited to put the laundry our son didn’t start until 9pm into the dryer (our washing machine takes 3 hours, unless it takes longer), said to me yesterday, “Is there new Murderbot today?”
Me: No, it’s Monday, Murderbot is on Friday.
Husband: oh right. boy i’m tired.
(2 hours later)
Husband: are you doing the zoom room tonight?
Me: …no, it’s Monday, the zoom room is on Friday…
Husband, whispering: i’m going to bed at 9pm tonight
In fact, he went to bed at 8:30, poor guy.
Let’s see. Um. I’d just about given up on using Facebook professionally at all, like I was literally composing a message to tell people I quit, when I went and looked for a crossposter and found one that would let me post to Bluesky, Mastodon and FB at the same time, so I’m giving that a shot. Fingers crossed, bc i GUESS people still use FB…
Anyway, at this point I’m procrastinating, so I’m going to actually get back to the trenches. I’m currently working on GORILLA IN THE GROOVE, aiming for a September release date, and this is me not opening my schedule again to agonize over it. Just doing words now. Yes. That’s what’s happening here…
I’m still with Facebook – and I read (most of) your emails. ^_^
