v. sleepy!

V. sleepy! I accidentally bought three books this weekend. I only read two (not of the ones I bought over the weekend), so I’m clearly not keeping up on my noise to signal here. Besides, only one of them was a real accident. Two I bought for book clubs, one of which caused me to stand for fifteen minutes in the YA section at B&N and admire how many YA novels have come out since I was a YA myself. I restrained myself from buying forty books, mostly because I…

ytd

Another 2700 words written this morning, for a respectable 5K in the last 2 days. Too bad that’s all I’ve done in the last six weeks, or at least most of what I’ve done in the last six weeks.

Came home and watched Stargate (almost done with season 3!) and ate way too…

world of the living

I have rejoined the world of the living. At least partly. Took a 4 hour nap yesterday afternoon which inevitably made me sleep badly last night, but not much to be done about that except drink yourself into a stupor and pass out, which doesn’t actually work for me, so no point. We watched three episodes of Stargate, and that was about the sum total of the evening. My work successfully launched our first (in fact, apparently the first) all-Spanish healthcare site last night: Mi Salud @ Anthem. Go us.…
