Well, I got a bunch of stuff done...

Decided not to go to Walmart last night, and the bank didn't have any deposit envelopes. *sigh* Given the way my night was going, I promptly gave up, went home, took a LONG, HOT bath and went to bed.

Today started off HORRIBLY.

I did get to clean out my car, and still couldn't find the cell phone. Minor meltdown, relieved by promising myself that I would get ahold of SIL when I got back and would find out one way or the other if I had to get a new cell phone. Then went to the bank - and found that I had forgotten both debit card AND checkbook. Went into bank and deposited money.

Went to Joann's and got gorgeous burgundy fleece for argus7hills's Father Christmas coat for Saturday. No hunter green, bah. But the burgundy is beautiful, and I got white silky furry fleece to do the trimming with. Matching thread and we were good to go.

Checked at the D'Angelos I had stopped at on Saturday, on the off-chance that I'd dropped the phone there. Nope.

Back at home, got a hold of the SIL - yup, the phone is on an extended vacation in Maine. *sigh* If you've called me since Saturday, well, I won't get the message until maybe Tuesday. Just so you know.

Got the jacket cut out (except the sleeves, which is tomorrow's project) and the gores pinned. Was home for a bit during lunch, and argus7hills tried it on - fit wonderfully! Yay! There will be a marathon sewing session tomorrow. :)

Tonight is writing. I got almost 3k done yesterday at the hospital during my transfusion, so I want to get some more done tonight.

Oh, and jaylake has a great article on discipline in writing. Check it out.

Okay, so apparently all I had to do was change my font and I can suddenly write again. Go figure.

I found a couple of scenes I need to insert at some point. I need more Madness scenes in there. And this part is pretty choppy, but I'll work on it in the rewrite.

*Gaming reference. The party always seems to split off on their own adventures - it's a good time when we can get everyone together! Of course, we'll see how long it lasts.
