I’m in an exceedingly good mood this morning. No idea why. Maybe I’m back on track in an Irish time zone. Maybe it’s because I had chocolate chip cookies and a glass of milk for breakfast. Maybe I’m just amused at Ted, who I told I would make get up at 10am if he did not come to bed before 4am, which is when he went to bed Monday night. I got up at about half three to use the bathroom and he was not yet in bed, but by…
mrgh?
I think I am not fully back on Irish time. I mean, I know copy edits are boring, but I don’t usually actually fall asleep doing them. I especially don’t usually fall asleep for two hours. I’m seriously going “o.O *blinkblinkblink* mngngngh?” right now. Jaysus, as Seirid has learned to say. Of course, I did get up at a quarter to seven, which is earlier than usual even when I’m properly in my time zone… Friday wasn’t actually a con day (I think there might’ve been a charity quiz of…

The AAs aren’t going as quickly as I hoped.

This stage isn’t nearly as bad as the CEs were, but it’s a lot worse than AAs usually are. My editor has sworn to my agent that I…
O. M. G!
We are home, home, *actually* home. The heat has gone out but I don’t care, we’re home and it is Good. We got in several hours ago and have been talking with Mom and Dad, who’ve cleaned the house, emptied our bedroom of extra beds, put the new quilt Ted’s mom made for us on our bed, slaughtered a third of the jungle in the back garden, fed our cats, put up new towel hangers in the bathroom, put a mat under my computer chair so it doesn’t roll downhill,…

As said, “I’ve paid twenty-five quid to spend the day in the bar talking to friends.” :) Which is, in fact, pretty much what we’ve done, but it’s been well worth it. We’ve procured a copy of ABSOLUTE HUSH, but did not stand in the Jim Lee Line today. We will tomorrow. :) Today we hung out with Kate (as you might guess), , (when he finally showed up!), , , and had dinner with , who joined us after work. Been a really nice day all around. Chatted with…
