Woe is Me

Now is when I would like to catch up on email, read writing newsletters, work on photo giggery, and read my "interesting writing people" LJ filter. Maybe even finish the 2nd-to-last 2008 CSA post.

Instead, my future is knee exercises.

At least I can watch a movie while I do them.

Cumulative and boring. I've been busy with work stuff and haven't gotten much done a-tall. Except for Friday.

9/3/2009 - Thursday
* Added joining Broad Universe to me "To Do Once Pro" file. Yes, I have a file. It's where I keep my stratagems.
* Processed personal "Caught out attention, but--" rejection of "Charity From a Thief" by Heroic Fantasy Quarterly.

9/2/2009 - Wednesday
* Ken Schneyer's Clarion reports: http://ken-schneyer.livejournal.com/18265.html. For writing tips, check out the "Week Three Report" as well as the "Some Writing Wisdom..."
* Posted part 3 of my CONvergence panel notes, this time with pictures.

9/1/2009 - Tuesday
* Posted request for volunteers to crit, "Missing You in Pieces." (No takers.)

08/28/2009 - Friday
* Finished "Missing You In Pieces"--and I absolutely agree with [livejournal.com profile] yuki_onna that there ought to be confetti and kazoos when a piece is finished. And applause. (Perhaps confetti only for novels.) Seems like there ought to be a device one could create to do that. (Wasn't there a web page somewhere on the internets that had a big red button that, when pushed, produced applause?)

08/27/2009 - Thursday
* Posted writing log.
* Penthius freewriting about a girl kidnapped and found two decades later.

It's not been a bad day. Kitten's been fussy about eating, and his litterbox training is definitely not complete, but he's been cute. He's starting to try playing. One more week until we can have him tested, vaccinated, and made acceptable for the company of other cats. I folded a huge backlog of laundry while watching the Saturday morning cooking shows, and then I made French toast for lunch. Then there was a Costco run, where necessary foods were acquired--I always like going to grocery stores, since it's a once-in-a-blue-moon occurrence. I took pain pills beforehand, but my knee still hurt by the end. There was much-needed napping time. Dinner was scrounged, meaning I ate leftover fried rice and I'm not sure what Phil ate. Then I did knee exercises while watching Friday Foster, a highly entertaining Pam Greer movie, and I sewed five (5!) buttons back on a dress shirt to repair it.

  • 13:22 + Kitten starting to think of the litterbox as about where he should go. -- Emphasis on the "about."
  • 19:57 + Have a Tibetan dragon mouserug traveling in my direction. A mouserug!
