Still sick, still tired, still going to work...
Yeah. I had to go back to work tonight. Fortunately, I got my shift cut down from 6 hours to 4, so it wasn't too bad, but I'm still a little worn out.
In the past two days, I have watched one movie (Monty Python and the Holy Grail), and read four and a half books. Sad, huh? I've also consumed a box and a half of Girl Scout Cookies and most of a bag of potato chips (and one or two slightly healthier things).
I finally have some idea of where I want to go with the next chapter of the novel Sarah and I are writing. Nothing has been coming to me, and it's been kind of frustrating (for Sarah, too, I know, although she hasn't said much), but I was thinking about it in the shower to take my mind off the entire junior high school band marching through my head all playing fortissimo in different keys and BAM I got ideas for several different chapters, but I know that I'm too tired to really do justice to them at the moment. Also, I got saddled with preparing a detailed closing checklist for DQ, and it has to been done by 1 o'clock tomorrow, so all my energy will go to that.
*sigh*
Have I mentioned how much it sucked to go to work sick? Sudafed and Mountain Dew helped, but damn...I really wish we had more flexible schedules. Grr.
It's weird how I feel more inspired to write when I'm sick. I go through phases or something...
Anyway, I'm trying to post more regularly. Aren't you proud of me? *vbg*
