Starting line:
“Where is she now?” she asked, and the scene in the bowl changed, showing a large house surrounded by a fence of trees. Shimmering trees, pulsing with Power, intertwined with one another by way of gold and silver cords lacing through their leaves, Shadows draped in the branches. Madness ground her teeth together. Damn. She’d reached the others.

Ending line:
The spring will come. All we have to do is survive until then.

Darling:
She stepped back, watching blood and sinew spread over the skeleton of Chaos and Blood that she’d created. The stallion from the dream that she’d drawn Thom into stamped his foot as he came into full flesh, a fire in his red eyes and his breath hot in the small room. He tossed his head and shrilled, the sound echoing in her ears. “Oh, my lovely,” she whispered, enchanted by her own work. “What a beautiful creature.”
So, changed the look of the LJ for Christmas. It's a little...festive, but eh. It's good to change every once in a while.

Today was a treatment day, so thanks to the 2-hr drive at oh-god-thirty this morning and the IV benedryl, I am total zombie girl at work. Thank gods it's Friday night and it should be dead, because I will be alternating between Pepsi (yes, I need it tonight) and black tea. Hopefully, that combination will keep me from ending up snoring.

Stuffs to do tonight in a vain attempt to stay awake:

- balance checkbook and pay bills
- finish addressing Christmas cards

- address cards for soliders
- make out grocery list
- decide who's going to die in Birka Chronicles
- do up the calendar for next month

I think that's it - I'm sure I can find more stuff to do if necessary...

Doing this now, because I'm going out after work (yay getting out before midnight!)

Day Job: Meh. But I get TGIFriday's for lunch tomorrow, yay! But seriously? This job would be so much better if I didn't have to talk to people. :p

Exercise: Twenty minutes walking today while hubby's car was getting its oil changed. Fun! Very cold, but fun.

Writing: Nope. Not a single word today. Taking the day off. Although I'm contemplating blog entries...

Editing: Got a chunk done last night of Book#1 for DMP. Gotta work on Book#2 this weekend once Book#1 is out the door.

***

Plans for this weekend: we're going up North! I can't wait - and have to call our hostess to see what I can bring. Gotta remember to do that tonight...

I'm hitting Craft Night at [livejournal.com profile] jackoutofthebox and [livejournal.com profile] woadchic's tonight. I haven't been a regular there for nearly two years - it's going to be awesome! Even if I don't get there until 9 pm *sigh*. Next shift bid, I'm going for an earlier shift. Like, 8:30 to 9:30 start time.

Scary, huh?

Day Job: Got lots of Christmas cards sent out today. :p Yes, that means it was slow.

Writing: Got about 500 words written on Snow and started working on the character list for Birka Chronicles. And pondered a big question on that book: who's going to die???

Exercise: About 10 minutes worth of weight training today - Frenya gave me some exercises to do with my little weights. I'm supposed to do 25 reps with each arm. I got 15 and then it was too sore, but baby steps, as [livejournal.com profile] domynoe and I have been telling each other. Baby steps. Also decided that I'm taking the stairs at work, unless I'm carrying a ton of stuff, and did it. Since I'm parking on the 3rd floor of the parking garage, I'm now getting lots of stairs. Go me!

Editing: Working on 2 books for DMP. Downloaded my style sheets and editors handbooks for LP. What the heck am I thinking? When am I going to write? Just kidding.

Tomorrow, I have a car appointment at 8 am, then into work. I'm bringing Puck with me and want to bang out a good portion of Snow. We'll see what happens.

Keep your eyes out for another poll soon, seeing what you guys want for writing posts. Editing posts are fair game too.

Day Job: My first day on the new shift went really well. My cubemate is funny, my new computer rocks (flat screen monitor = love!) and I did really well. And coming home to hang with hubby was awesome too. If only my kitchen wasn't a disaster area...

Writing: Got a page of notes for The Birka Chronicles written. No work on Snow - tomorrow's project.

Exercise: Did about 20 minutes of brisk walking today. Winded myself. Terribly out of shape. Bah. Tomorrow, I want to do some stretching and some simple belly-dance.

All in all, a good day. Bed now.
