Sheesh. Take a couple days off from writing and look what happens. You lose total control over how many days have passed in your book. Actually, I was on the verge of doing that anyway–I’ve rewritten so much that I no longer know exactly when things are happening in relation to one another–and so I sat down, wrote about twelve words, then went ‘shit, is it time for this yet, or should that be tomorrow?’ So I thought I’d better read it. And, well, reading is easier done on paper…
more irs woes
So we got another notification from the IRS a week or two ago, which said, in essence, “Oops, yeah, we screwed up, and we’ve looked at your numbers again and now we think you owe five hundred dollars instead of 900.” Garrghgh. So Mom and I (mostly Mom) went over the numbers forty-eight times, and concluded that the IRS screwed up *again*.

seepy.
Seepy me. Maybe I’ll wake up a bit now that I’ve had some fud. I decided to take yesterday off from writing. *gasp* And I didn’t get up early this morning to write, either, but I’ll write during lunch. That’s the plan, anyhoo.

Those two things aren’t related, but neither of them are particularly pleasant. Although the sneezing frenzy is a lot…
*groan*
*groan* Didn’t get in to work until late this morning, and not because I was busy producing a prodigous wordcount. No, I was just too damned tired to get up until 8:15. I staggered out of bed at 6:15 and went ‘no, screw this’, and stumbled back in for another two hours. I guess I needed it. I’ll do my 1100 on TB today, but I might take the day off from TQB. We’ll see. Need food now, and water. Especially water. And, um. Oh, and last night I went…

stolen from : List ten basic tenents or notions by which you feel you should live 1. Follow your heart. Be happy. Believe in yourself. I know that’s three, but they all seem integral to each other to me, darn it. 2. Remember I am in fact the center of the universe. 3. Be nice to people. 4. Life’s not fair. Calvin once wailed, “Yeah, but why isn’t it ever not fair in my *favor*?!” Here’s the thing: it is. 5. “It’s not the dying that should scare you, girl.…
