Site redesign launch delayed until next week. This is good in that something was promised that we don’t have the setup to do, and bad in that I’ve already put in about 40 hours this week, doing bug fixes. However, it does mean I don’t have to panic to get the rest of them done and it does mean I won’t be stuck here until oh god hundred tonight, which mean of course that I should write at least several hundred more Kitling words. The Kitlings story is very, very…
wow
Wow, that’s pretty. Sarah was telling me about an editor at Tor who’s actively acquiring stuff, and it made me feel sick. Heh. Particularly since apparently Tor takes email submissions, at least for the first 3 and synopsis. But nothing I have is ready to go, and I feel like I’ve been slacking. Which isn’t really true, because I’ve been working long days at the job that actually *pays* me, and I’ve actually written somewhere around 5K words in the last week, which really isn’t bad at *all*.

Ted washed the dog last night. She doesn’t smell nearly as bad now. I have the very best husband. He also got her some adult dog food instead of the puppy stuff, and lamb-and-rice based instead of chicken-and-corn based, because apparently corn gives dogs gas. Not that you can buy dog food that doesn’t have corn, but at least this stuff doesn’t have it as one of the top three ingredients. And it’s adult food, which we theorize might be harder to digest and therefore less … stinky. Or something.…
dog
In further dog news, I went to let her out and she ran off. I tried the walk-back-home thing, because usually it’ll make her come, but then another dog appeared and there was no chance she was going to come back home. So I had to run after her. If my back gets fucked up again because of this I’m just going to kill her. I’m icing it and doing my exercises and the dog is in her kennel for the rest of her life.
