It is currently 8:48 am EST.

And I am at my desk at work.

*thump*

This is going to be a loooong day. I swapped shifts with a friend, so I'm working 9-5.

I suspect much tea - much BLACK tea - will be drunk today.

Edit at 10:24 am: No soda as of yet today, but I am on my second large raspberry tea (black with no sugar added). I am starting to feel tired, though, so I have a feeling I'll break down and get a Pepsi or a Dr. Pepper at lunch.

Hmm, spose I should get a WoW icon...

Nah.

Well, my Warlock now has an imp and is level 5. And I bought the full version.

Now, I'm off to write more on Sacrifice. My goal is 500 words.

Blood Sacrifice

starting count: 1625
ending count: 2069
gain/loss: +444

starting line: Quinn was staring at both of them like they’d lost their minds, but Justin threw back his head and laughed. “All that Power, all that crankiness, and yet deep down inside, you’re just a girly girl at heart.”

ending line: “Kids?” Shanna suggested, but Rick shook his head again, his dark blonde hair flying. “Interesting.”

darling: “Exactly, Chief. I’m the StarChild. I’m not a freaking magic barometer. And we don’t know that Blood Magic killed him.” Shanna kept her temper with some effort; Quinn was not a mage, which is why he always called her in to investigate these things. “Besides, the campus is rather…noisy at the moment. It’s almost Beltane, after all.”
