kittydesadeOn the plus side, no Celtic Women concert tonight, on the minus side I completely forgot about the chimney people today. So at least the boy remembered, and at least they're coming around the time I'd normally be ready to leave so it wasn't that big a deal, I'd just be dressed and ready and confused why there were chimney people instead of my aunt. On the minus side of that, we had a 20 minute power outage right before they showed, so I was still scrambling to get ready. On the I don't even know what side of that we also had a raccoon with an injured foot go hide itself under our house. Please don't die under there, injured raccoon. I really don't want a house that smells of dead animal for days.
I guess we'll call it a net win. I got to work on time, got the mail out including yet more infinite care packages (and 2/3 of the care packages I've sent out lately have included makeup, when did I become this), worked with the Editrix to figure out what my next priorities are as far as Black Ice anthologies go. Which means tackling the Scariest Story I've Ever Written this weekend and over edits that make me feel stupid and sad. More than edits usually do I mean. That's fine, it's good, this is a story that needs to be told a lot. Fuck, especially now. Heh. And I can't tell it without a lot of help, so, self, let them help you, and keep writing the stupid thing. Working on it. Making it better.
(Sometimes I have to talk myself into things a lot. Some stuff really scares me.)
But other than that story the rest of it is mostly the usual weasels and half-finished projects and everything, which won't be too hard. I even think I've found something to replace the anchor story for the anthology originally known as White Lightning! Which would be nice. And then I have to figure out what the hell is going on with Sandborn, but at this rate it might actually make it out in the end of May, which I think when it was ultimately pushed back to. Eeep.
And everything else is coming along. Slowly and over time, things will get done. I think apart from I should ever finish the two projects I have currently on needles (maybe if I get writing and editing done at work and have time tonight?) I will even be current for April Starts in, ulp, Friday. Oh dear. I should prioritize that shouldn't I. Yes I should. Make a list. Get it done. Along with the twenty billion other things. One thing a time, self. One thing at a time.
But I am back to feeling on top of things! For those of you who are charting it because god knows I'm not. I just know it happens when I have fewer than fifty projects and have gotten a decent night's sleep the night before.
