A Light Through the Darkness

Work: I should have definite news to post this afternoon. Some of you already know, but I'll have the wheres, whens and whyfors after 1:15 pm EST (and yes, I'll post it here.)

Food: As I posted to writersweighin, I'm switching to a whole food meal plan. Basically, if it comes pre-packaged, I'm avoiding it for a while (unless it's rice or pasta or frozen veggies - something like that). I'm just having too many intestinal issues, and while I think stress is a big part of it, I'm just not pushing the issue anymore. So Sunday is going to be a major cooking/cleaning day, so I can be set for the week. I might post my meal plan here - I'm going to be planning out EVERYTHING, so I can pack it all.

On the upside, I'm seriously considering making Chex Mix this weekend. :)

Writing: As I posted yesterday, I'm pretty much leaning towards Shanghai at this point for my NaNo. However, I'm going to be poking at Raindrop as well this month. I figure that whatever looks more complete at the end of September is the book I'm going to do for NaNo.

On another front, I'm going to be doing a 2 or 3-part seminar on getting ready for NaNo - if you're in the area, it'll be at the Townsend Library in Townsend, Massachusetts as soon as the librarian and I get our schedules in sync (probably 2 week nights and a Saturday), but I'm going to be posting them here as well. Keep a look out for them.

For folks in my writing group, I'll have the first chunk of Snow for you guys tomorrow - I'm hoping for a goodly amount, but I'll see what I can blow out tonight. Sunday, I have to clean my sewing room/office up, so I can swap computer desks with beard5 next week, so no writing most likely, but I'm going to pound the keyboard tonight.

Personal: I'm under a lot of stress right now - nothing compared to some on my F-list, but stress nonetheless. Hopefully, the meeting I have at 1 pm today will alieviate a bunch of the stress, but we'll see.

Oh, and I missed class Wednesday night - I thought it didn't start until Monday. *sigh* What a great impression to make on my new professors.

More later.
