I actually got to bed a whole hour early last night! This after I realized my brain was so overloaded with house stuff and even work stuff that I couldn't actually sit down and write anything. I did two paragraphs and a drabble, and that's it. And that's actually it for the whole damn day, too. But there was rest, and now I feel somewhat better, and putting my German verbs book in my bag now so I stop fucking up the conjugations of all the cleaning verbs. I'm not sure if it's those verbs particularly or just the fact that I've been really tired these past few days. Probably a bit of both, the book didn't really go over the conjugation at all and at least one of them seems to be tricky.

By the by, for anyone learning a non-English language, I cannot recommend these 501 verb books highly enough. They are incredibly, incredibly useful. They conjugate verbs for you in MANY FORMS. I don't know if they exist in a non-English form, though. If they did from non-English to non-English it would also be useful! For people who are not me.

I slept! I actually got sleep! No massive piles of stress (except the boy saying he's worried we might not get the house, GEE THANKS.) and no attempting to hold fifty billion things to do in my head, none of that. Just sleep. And weird dreams about making new friends in pet stores outside of which a horse is misbehaving. What the hell was up with that. Big white draft horse like the kind that pull carriages in cities for people to have a brief fantasy sightseeing trip in.

So, today's writing: Black Ice's Subversive mummies and some BBM stuff, since the Triumvirate outline seems to be largely done. Maybe going through that and filling out the World-Building Leviathan a little more, but mostly Black Ice and BBMs. Then when I get home, Long Road and, guh, something else. Maybe Long Road and Triumvirate? And that'll be good enough for that. Today all the paperwork gets turned in on the house, I should hear something back from Realty Lady letting me know she's turned it in and then something when they sign it letting me know it's now under contract, so. All is... good?

Remember that whole thing I said about all the paperwork getting turned in and no more having to hold ten billion things in my head? I lied. I mean, okay, I knew the loan paperwork details were going to come in soon, that's less annoying, but apparently my instincts were correct yesterday on two points and so the forms got filled out wrong. And then I had to do about 30-40 minutes of last minute running around (literally, I was running back and forth between the store and the Horse and Cart bank, which is the next block over) to fix things up. However. That's done. And when I get home from work today I will track down all the relevant paperwork, most of which should be either in my bag or in my box and fuck. I forgot, today's a payday. Which will make getting consecutive paystubs easier but dammit, I forgot to turn in my timesheet. Where the fuck has my brain gone.

Ahem. Anyway. So, yeah. Tracking down all the relevant paperwork when I get home, not worrying about it now. I had a moment of terror when I saw that list and thought, there's no way I can possibly get this all to Mortgage Lady before noon tomorrow! Then sanity reasserted itself in the form of friends and Also-Mes and smacked me upside the head with, no, what they needed was the signed addendums to the offer and the earnest money check. This is mortgage stuff, they need this before closing. Which is in April. And anyway, we can scan that all in and get it to Mortgage Lady tomorrow.

Keeping all the logistics of this in my head is a pain in the ass. Or a pain in the head. Or both. Actually, I haven't been having much in the way of headaches lately, though. Just really tired.

Also I feel like I need to plant a tree or three as an apology for all the damn paper I'm wasting on this.

Despite the shenanigans of today, I somehow managed to come home, make dinner, put in beef to marinate for tomorrow night's dinner, feed the cats, medicate Murdock with his homeopathic dewormer since he keeps goddamn reinfecting himself (none of the other cats have worms by the way, it's just him), wash and block two pairs of arm warmers and a dishrag, practice my guitar, do my Japanese, and get a fair bit of writing done. Because I'm awesome.

I banged out some of one of the BigBang Mixups and some of Long Road, little bits of a couple other things but mostly I'm pretty happy with what I did manage to get out. Considering how crazy today's been.

Not much reflection on tonight's writing, just that I need to tighten up my use of time a bit but dictating and knitting is going pretty well as simultaneous activities.

Also, does anyone want a cheese egg? Seriously, this is my sixth or so.
