A Light Through the Darkness

Ah, orange light on my phone.* Must mean that Annual Enrollment for one of our biggest clients has begun. Oh joy, oh rapture.

Yes, that is sarcasm.

Anyways, sorry I haven't gotten back to people - work has eaten my brain. Luckily, Sunday afternoon after I finish argus7hills' Halloween costume looks like a time I will be writing/reading/editing. Anything before that is hazy and hopeful at best.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I get VTO tonight, but considering we were orange-lit yesterday for most of the day, I'm not counting on it. Bah. How am I supposed to finish my little sister's Christmas present if I can't crochet at work??? (Kidding, kidding!!!)

Tomorrow is Baronial Birthday for Stonemarche, and I'm not sure if we have directions yet (I'll check the Stonemarche calendar at work), but if not, I have a CIG around here somewhere and I'll pull the address from that. We're picking up beard5 around 8:30 am (yes, I hear that a large regular Decaf from Dunkins is hitching a ride as well) and heading over. Pig roast! Outdoors! Yay!

I will probably bring the crocheting with me, although the weaving circle is that day too, and I need to rewarp my loom. So I'll bring both, since the blanket I'm crocheting (for Deb, not you, caitlindancer will keep me warm. :D

Oh, and I heard from the parentals again. They're spending their "first last night" in Ireland Sunday night at a pub called "Dirty Nellie's". Apparently, this is something you are "supposed to do." They've had a blast and have tons of pictures.

And yes, they'll be home Monday, so your booze will come home on time, lush. :p

*Orange light means we have between 4 and 10 calls holding in the queue. Red light means more than 10. On the last night of this client's AE my first year, the red light meant we had 300 calls holding in the queue at midnight. Did I mention we close at midnight? And yeah, we had to stay and clean out all the calls. Bah.

Well, Donna helped me figure out one plot point - I'll be doing a bit more on the timeline. She's also reading the first part of Blood Sacrifice, and I think I might work on that a bit more later.

I dunno. I gotta stop whining and work on the book, but I really don't want to. I don't know why.

I'm such a wuss. Off to write.

WTF is going on with LJ today???

Anyone else having problems?

I am so freaking bored. I'm even too bored to write.

*sigh*

wen_spencer and tambowrites, you guys are my heroes.

HOW did you write your sequels without going bald???

I think, however, I've finally figured out what is going on with this book and the last book. I hope. *crosses toes, since she needs fingers uncrossed to write with, as she is still at work and writing on paper*

My plan at this point is to have the plot summary for Seasons done by Friday, the notecards done this weekend, and the chapter outline done by next Friday. I think this is doable.

Now, as long as the universe cooperates...

It has been the week from hell. Already.

Between the washer/dryer not working downstairs, the temporary filling in argus7hills' tooth breaking and needing to be repaired and the fact that I need to be in Worcester for a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning, and that I STILL haven't really started on the edits for Seasons, and Dreams STILL isn't done... *sigh*

And my Red Sox had a HORRIBLE season opener. And Joe passed away.

Dammit, I want a redo!!!!

Okay, not of all of it. I had a good birthday party yesterday - kuzushi and Baron Bil, dorio and Amy, and my mom all came over to watch the opener, eat lots of yummy food and watch the Sox lose. I got sweet gifts, and we had fun. And cake.

German chocolate cake. With coconut pecan frosting.

(Why no, I wasn't counting points yesterday, why do you ask?)

On the health news, I gained .2 lbs last week - bah. Oh well. I'm back on the bandwagon this morning.

Which reminds me...gotta go log points. See you all later.
