a wash

Yesterday (Wednesday) was a wash in terms of getting much of anything done. Oh well, it happens. Well, I did work on revisions for something, but there wasn’t much in the way of new wordcount. Today (Wednesday) I’ve finished the next Old Races short story, which will be posted in a couple of days. I’m…going to try working on galleys, but I don’t know if I’ve got the necessary level of consciousness. Galleys are mind-numbing, even when they’re easy, as these ones have been. Besides, I only need to get…

dear god, it’s november

This year has just…gone. Poof. Fweh. Zoom. I honestly don’t feel like I’ve ever fully recovered from moving. Possibly because the last dozen or whatever boxes still aren’t dealt with. I just need another bookshelf, at this point, and I don’t have one. #sigh Anyway. I have so many things to do.

work that isn’t writing

I cannot believe it’s the end of August. This summer has been a loss to a much greater degree than expected, and I’m just sort of…I’m getting my feet back under me, at this point. And I *am* getting my feet back under me: I’ve actually accomplished a great deal of detail work over the past week, all of which was very necessary and is something of a weight off my shoulders. Today is the first day of school: which means I have about 8 weeks of 15-20 hours of…

omg. we have net.

SIX WEEKS to the day, we have broadband back again. I do not EVEN have the heart to explain it all but it involved orders being cancelled and resubmitted and me almost bursting into tears on the phone support lady and managers green-lighting priority work for my account and a two-month credit being issued for the account and MANY QUESTIONS THAT I HAD ANTICIPATED AS PROBLEMS AND ASKED ABOUT VERY CLEARLY AND WAS PROMISED NO NO NO THAT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AT ALL being the things that happened and…
