Oct. 5th, 2017 07:52 pmWell I got a hell of a lot of sleep and my brain is still in pieces. I took three tries stepping out of my alcove to go get packing paper and on the first two ended up getting first halfway to the kitchen and second a rolling stock cart before I reset and realized what I actually needed and got it. So that's how my day's going!
I did manage to get some of the store hat knit and a synopsis for Pen Bryton written, though, and even if I haven't re-read the original I feel like it's a stronger novel for a decade or so's writing experience. I got some editing done in Long Road if not as much as I wanted, but I also did chop a bunch out since the Hundred Years' War didn't make it through and we'll see how that affects the word count. The Gevaudan section was huge anyway. And I think it'll flow somewhat better if I increase the through-sections and make the historical sections a bit more consistent. I wanted to get more done today but we're also short at work at the moment so I ended up out front knitting.
We had an entertaining if low-key alarming incident with Bat Cat when I got back, wherein the boy came up to me alarmed because he hadn't seen Bat Cat in a few hours and he couldn't find him. After doing a cursory examination of the ground floor I went out the back door and stood on the porch and called him and yes, he came trotting up. At which point I draw two conclusion from this: firstly that I can't ever again claim Bat Cat isn't Mommy's Kitty, and secondly that we need to get him his immunizations ASAP.
So much cleaning I want to get done this weekend, but Saturday is going to entirely be taken up with capoeira, work, and the wedding party thingie. I guess it's Sunday and basic going through the house and putting things away, wiping down surfaces. Meh. But it is cleaner than it has been around DragonCon.
