Sleeeeep

( October 4, 2004 progress notes )

Busy busy yesterday, what with sierralad, auraus, their very cute genetic product Gabriel, tamakun, jelynne, kats_kradle, and others over at our place. Had to wake up early to make it clean enough to fit said numbers, and then had the gaming boys over until almost midnight. Gabriel is only two weeks old, and therefore very floppy. His activities include eating, filling his diaper, and sleeping. When he hiccups his whole body shakes: it's simultaneously fascinating and a little frightening. Will post pictures of the boy and I holding him (taken to frighten our parents) shortly.

Don't know if I slept badly last night: had all kinds of weird dreams and dozed a lot, both in bed and on the boy's lap while he watched X-Men. But woke up exhausted today, and had to acquire strong coffee in the middle of my shift at work to stay on my feet. Still, can't concentrate enough to revise the book tonight. Managed to write 475 words or so on a new story, and they are perfect beautiful words, but they need a plot to accompany them. That one may go back in the stewpot to cook. At least I'm getting short stories again.

Neck is also very sore. Have put hot washcloths on it and that seems to be helping.

I go bed now.
