Sunday evening
Feb. 3rd, 2008 08:13 pmFinished self-assigned project for editor. It's not perfect, but it's better than it was in that it now incorporates things editor and I discussed. I had wanted to vacuum, dye my hair, and run. Instead I did this. But now it's done and I can get started writing an actual book. Yea. No more free time for the foreseeable future.
No, I'm kidding, sorta. I will have some free time. I will *make* free time. Hell, I've had altogether too much free time over the last few years, and I can have all the free time I want if I simply say 'never mind--not gonna write this book. Sorry.'
But I'm not going to do that, so I may as well shut up and eat my snowshoes. Speaking of which, it's snowing again. 1-3" by the time it's all over. Rain tomorrow, followed maybe by a little more snow, or maybe even ice. And as we all know, Ice is Nice.
I am feeling a little punchy, yes. And I have the Sunday night "don't wanna go to work tomorrow" whingies, especially since there will be more snow on the roads to make driving a sheer pleasure.
Sick of winter. Can we have Spring, please? Post-mud season, with a side order of sunshine.
In other news, I noticed that King limps for a few steps when he gets up from the floor--it doesn't happen when he rises from one of the dog beds, or maybe it just isn't as obvious. He shakes it off after a few strides, and he doesn't seem to be in any pain. He's only been doing it over the last week, week and a half, which makes me think it could be some sort of injury, a strain or something. Or maybe it just took this long for the hardwood floors to aggravate any developing arthritis. Poor guy. He still runs without a hitch, and trots just fine. It's just those first few steps after he gets up.
