( Russian! Now with 100% less stupid and 2 more typos! Or something. )

Yes, I did that over again because I had a stupid yesterday. Oops.

Feeling somewhat woozy today, which I'm hoping is more because last night sleep was filled with disgruntled people wandering through the halls of schools and airports with rapid-fire rifles and less because of any horrible crud I may have. Breathing is still something of an irritation but I'm not coughing, and I don't feel feverish. We're hoping a 'yet' doesn't attach itself to that sentence. I really don't want to miss spinning class. Failing all else, too, I go upstairs and curl up on the mattress and Lysol it afterwards or something. I'm the only one who uses that particular mattress anyway.

Doing one scene a morning in Martine seems to be helping, and I'm slowly but surely getting caught up on TM prompts. Not sure what to do about the other comms my characters are in, at least half of which seem to be dying slow and painful deaths. Maybe this is a sign that I should stop dicking around and start actually working on something. More probably this is only a sign that I need to find a new comm. Ah well.

Still full of trepidation on that whole apocabigbang thing where my assigned artist knows nothing about either the book or the TV series my piece is based on, my piece was the last to be picked, and two seconds after he, she, or it picked it came the message that they really really wanted to do this other piece too as a second artist. Shady, much? No, not much at all. I do not have sarcasm dripping there why do you ask. Personally if I want to challenge myself by looking at doing something new I examine my options and pick it up in good time. Not days later.

Yes, I'm bitchy today. Why do you ask?

I suppose this is where I get up and actually do something productive, like pack up my lunch. Moo. Going to bed even earlier tonight is definitely required. ... Crap. Spinning class. Packing up lunch and dinner.

Spinning class was a pretty good success. I made yarn! I made yarn of a somewhat uniform thickness, too! Which I think is pretty damn awesome, considering I only started spinning last week. I also managed to finish up two essays, do my scene in Martine this morning, did at least one TM prompt (I'm going to try for two) and got some random other stuff done. Because I am just that awesome.

I am feeling a lot better about the Martine novel (which still needs a title) now that I'm doing it less to an arbitrary deadline and more in 'one scene a day.' I think if I ever do become a professional writer I may work that way, just because if nothing else I can get a book draft done in two months. I'll tell my agent or editor six months, of course. Just to be sneaky. That way I can pull a miracle out of my ass in time for whatever! Not really; if I have that long it'll probably take me that long. Just look at how I operate on Big Bangs. Writing tasks seem to expand to fill the time allotted to them, and they always end up being done at the last minute. It's the ones that don't have deadlines, that you're just sort of doing, that go by quickly.

The boy and I are having discussions about my vampire dragon sprites. This amuses me possibly more than it should.

Anyway, the rest of the week hopefully will not be as godawful insane as last week was. It's still relatively busy, business is picking up slowly as people start thinking ahead towards summer activities, schools and such, but it's still relatively quiet. I've decided that, should I ever actually get disposable income, I will dispose of some of it into a netbook so I'm not hauling my giantass (well, for a laptop) laptop to and from work. And to and from the Maryland Sheep and Wool festival. But then, that's if I ever actually wind up with $300 in disposable income. Moo. We'll see what taxes do this year.
