4200 words this morning, and a possibility of a few hours of contract work a week doing web stuff this afternoon. That would be nice: just enough to give me a total change of pace for a couple hours a day. We’ll see if it pans out. Between Ted and I, some laundry’s gotten done. Made some bread. I haven’t cleaned the kitchen, though I should do that. PFDs get deposited tomorrow. I’m going school shopping. :) Well, ok, not school shopping, but shopping! I already did some shopping, with…

Let’s see if I remember how to do the lj cut. Tired of the “getting to know you” surveys written by high school students? This one was devised by honest to goodness adults (20 and 30-somethings). Fill in your answers and spread the insanity in whatever manner you see fit. Do you have a job or a career? Career. What is your job title? Famous writer. Have you ever been fired? Yes. Well, laid off, which amounts to the same thing. Twice. What was your worst work experience? Well, the…

This, my friends, is what is called the learning curve. :) It’s a pity, because I like the stuff I’m cutting, but odds…

I honestly have no recollection at all of what we did Saturday during the day. I didn’t work at all. I walked the dog, and I … oh yeah. Now I remember.…
stats, 10/9
Target points: 22 Points used: 31 Activity points earned/swapped: 2/2 WPA used/remaining: 7/14.5 Overall, got away comparatively unscathed today. Must eat carefully the rest of the week, but most of the doomy food is gone, and I didn’t go overboard on any of it, so I call it a win. Bed now.
