leahbobetDecember 27, 2008 Progress Notes:
"Sugar"
Words today: 1100.
Words total: 9850.
Reason for stopping: Tidy number, and it's late.
Books in progress: Iain M. Banks, Use of Weapons; Robert Graves, The Long Week-end.
The glamour: Back on the horse: a bunch of Ideo work, including slush; some end-of-year accounting; some housekeeping; critting about 200 pages of novel that are somewhat overdue to be back, and mea culpa there. Hopefully I will be able to finish that crit before going to the parents' house tomorrow.
Also, the purchase of four pairs of bamboo circular needles, one of straight needles, and some chunky cashmerino from a yarn sale, which should have me all set in terms of equipment for about four knitting projects. I did hold off on the $100 worth of Peruvian yarn it would have taken to make the fifth, though. While that's not much money for a nice sweater? Youch.
I am not unhappy with what got done today, even though today went much too fast, and this week is going much too fast, and I am starting to wonder how in hell I'm going to get everything done before I have to go back to work in a week and a smidge. I suspect the answer is I'm not and I must simply find my peace with that. O well.
Did come across a review at Fantastic Reviews of "Kimberley Ann Duray Is Not Afraid", which is a positive one. It is a serious pick-me-up when those things surface; people who've picked up the thing you had to say on a beach somewhere, abandoned, and read it, and had it mean something to them. There is something comforting about that; it's pingback, is what. Three cheers for the pingback.
Bed now, I think, or soon. If I'm having trouble getting everything done in a day, the obvious solution is to wake up earlier and get me some more day.
