Okay, definitely needed that extra hour of sleep; I actually feel awake now. Awake and capable of doing analysis before work, which is both useful and a minor miracle. Schedule could use a little tweaking as per usual, but if I can get down a schedule where I get an extra hour's sleep and still get to do all the things I mean to do, that'll be fanTASTIC.
Still excited about house stuff. Still bouncy. Not entirely sure what we're going to do today, maybe just some more cleaning, maybe scrubbing out the toilets. I kind of want to crawl up onto the counters and deal with the lightbulbs in the bathroom vanities, which are at least in need of re-screwing the shade things? onto their stalks, and at worst in need of replacing the whole damn thing (ugh, more money, maybe I should start doing internet fundraisers, contribute a few bucks to my house fund, get a story) but I want to see which it is, first. And we need to go back to that wallpaper. Come to me, glorious hardwood! Just because it's probably the most dramatic change we're going to see for a while, here is the before:
( Photos! )
It's going to be gorgeous. We're going to be working on it forever and aye (or at least for the next two to three years) but it's going to be gorgeous and it's mine and I love it good. At least most of the major stuff should be done in the next couple of months. The only downside to this is keeping track of my spending and watching the numbers climb. Houses are expensive, yo! But the upside to the downside is that keeping track of my spending means spending less on frivolous excessively shiny, I don't know, door handles or something. There's a part of me that really, really wants to do the internet begging charity auction thing. Please send me money I will write you stories. And then the rest of me up and smacks my head and reminds me that I'm doing the anthology precisely for that reason. All profits go to fixing up the old house. (No, seriously, that's probably what I'm going to put it towards.) So get your dumb ass moving on the line edits, woman.
Also, I have to ask. What the hell is this? I'm both disturbed and entertained. More so than usual.
Right. I feel I should start keeping a list of topmost writing projects I'm working on, cutting things down as I finish them. Except now that I look at my gtasks it's already there, so never mind! In other words, let's get this show on the road, start knocking things off of there. The sooner I finish my line edits, the sooner I can slog through ebook formatting and then I can hope that some of you would actually pay money for this on purpose.
ETA: And while I'm coming up with reasons not to do the charity auction thing, fucksake, woman. You already planned to finish a bunch of WIPs, do Nano, do Yuletide, and both of those around a fullish physical labor schedule is more than enough. Stop being a needy idiot.
