Still Saturday...

Well, I haven't gone to sleep yet, so to me it's still Saturday. Work is just shy of obscenely insane, but, hey, it's good work, and it pails fairly well, and the benefits can't be beat...which is good because when I eventually lose my mind, my extended funny farm visit will be fully covered.

I'm back on my diet, which is a good thing. I have a 2lb/week goal until UWC, and think I can do it. I also need to exercise, big time. Susie's sending me a tricked out pedometer, and I really have no excuse not to use it... I need to take the baby for walks more often, the fresh air will be good for him, and the movement will be good for me. Maybe this afternoon will be a good time to go as a family or something, just a walk around the block... We live on a good block, in a good neighborhood... So no excuses.

My feet are so sore... That pedometer really would have been interesting to have at work... I wonder how many miles I trekked tonight? The floor really had me hopping. I don't like working short, it seems like no Matter what you do I feel like I'm perpetually working harder, but not smarter. I think it's the insane time crunch. 8 hours work with no time to pee really sucks.

Morning meal was bologna, fried egg and some bacon. I wonder how long it'll take me to get into ketosis. I love the initial super drop of water weight... And if I work smarter (not harder) I should fairly easily surpass my goal. I think today is a good point to start counting calories again, Sunday being my preferred weigh day, but only after I nap... I retain water at work... Must be the lack of peeing. I guess I should make up the lack of water here at home, seeing that I sweat at work like nobodies business. Maybe that's why I don't pee... /shrug

Ok, nap time for mamas.

Chapter 4! DONE (all 26 pages of it... whoa!)

Yeah, life's been getting in the way, but I've made a little headway in the story. We're just finished with chapter 4, aka the grand tour of the island and the peeps who make it so cool.

Chapter 5 deals with some very special cargo...  Very excited to start touching on this! Finally getting to the meat of the story and all. Yay!

Chapter 2: Done!

Yep, another day another chapter.

This one was a short one, but that's okay.. not every chapter has to be a gazillion pages long. Even though it was short, it was nice and action packed. I'm hoping that it was a good read, I wrote most of it tipsy.

Below the cut is some personal stuff, and the language is a little coarser than what I usually put out in the open. Caution to anyone who decides to go there.

Home Sweet Home

Hello blog-land.

I apologize for not posting the last week- we've had that bitch of a storm to contend with. I was stuck with my in-laws for 4 days, and just got home today.

Started NaNo yesterday (that'd be the 1st) and banged out 700ish words on the ipad. Painful painful. I think my wireless keyboard is coming with from now on for portable use. Tonight, I did another 3600. Significantly less painful.

The prologue is done. At least I think it's done. I want to pad it in places and pare it down in more spots. Its got a metric shitload of fluff going on, but should be interesting. It'll probably end up being a long short story by the time editing is done. I'll go back to it if there's time, but it's looking doubtful at this point.

I'll be popping the story in its entirety in the page(s?)  for it. I have to figure out how to do that logically.

Ok, peace be with ya.

Day 4 of five

Well, like the title says, I'm here at work yet again, but significantly less tired- got a good nap in yesterday. The kidlet spent his time at his aunts house in the morning and since he's not feeling 100% he ended up playing for a while then fell asleep pretty darn quickly. I thought that he'd be down for an hour or so... I woke up 3 hours later when the hubbs told me it was time to go to work.
Somehow the crap junk food I ate for lunch doesn't feel as bad because I skipped a meal... The crap though was pure pure sweet sugar though. Suckage. Wouldn't it be great if they made a self control pill or something?
And, last, since its break time, I'm going to work a little more on that outline. We're coming up on a little under 6 days to go, and I'd like to get it straight before then.

Pasta Data? is that anything like Copy Pasta?

Well, I just didn't realize the time, so this gets to be dated for yesterday (which means, yes, you one follower, you get treated to 2 posts today, instead of 1!!)

Today was a day of shopping and sleeping. Bought some offal, cooked some offal... Destunk the kitchen (I hope. Beef kidney STINKS! Next time we do lamb.)

And now going to bake, and outline. We're on a real time crunch now... Especially since I challenged Migs (who I'm not sure will do nano) and Amy (who's signed up and ready to go.) I'm betting I won't win, but I got a nice strong story idea this time.  The PoHo's think they know it.. nah. They've only seen the veneer on top... all the good stuff though, is on the inside.

Kinda like tonewood on a uke, I s'pose.

Ok, time for me to start baking- got a cake to bake and some cabbage to braise.
