I held my breath and you said something.

November 22, 2009 Progress Notes:

"The Closet Monster"

Words today: 1000.
Words total: 2100.
Reason for stopping: This is not really how I meant to spend my afternoon, and I need to fix some dinner.

Books in progress: Emma Bull, Territory.
The glamour: Nothing! I wrote when I was supposed to kitchen-clean and cook ahead for the work week! I am clearly a bad person and a shirker who will be eating cafeteria next week if she doesn't shape up.

---

Okay, this weekend could stand to be two days longer at this point, for one thing. I haven't managed to get over last week yet, and my apartment is still messy and sleep debt still extant. Stupid murderous last few weeks of legislative session.

In other news, the mob has spoken and I will probably make the Nebula post. It was pointed out to me by a couple people that yes, there is a difference between putting it out there and walking away to do something else and award-whoring, and while I'm still somewhat conflicted on the topic, it's likely preferable to not have Nick Cave remember you as one of the ones who died for the lack of it. I'll get to that tomorrow, then, if I have time for it.

Okay, cooking. Cafeteria food must be avoided at all costs.

I hear you about the sleep debt. I've been averaging about 5 hours of sleep per night during the week. Then on Saturdays, I find that I'm not getting up until about 2 in the afternoon. Yesterday I had to get up by about noon, but woke up at 12:30 (when I had to be out the door to get to my Constellations meeting) to find that the alarm had been beeping for at least 30 minutes. I probably shouldn't have gone out Friday night with cuteteenboy, but I haven't been getting out much lately, except to meetings.

Then when I got home from the meeting around 4, I set the alarm on my cellphone for 5:15 and laid down on the couch. I woke up at 8. Oops.

Last night I went to bed around 3 and got up at 11:30 this morning (after waking up at 8:30 and 10), and have been utterly exhausted all day. All I've been doing is going up and down between here and the laundry room (loads 7 and 8 are in the dryer right now). I want to lie down again but I know that I won't wake up until 9 or 10, and then I won't be able to get to sleep tonight.

It's something about November. And, well, being overscheduled.
