Brief Update
Aug. 1st, 2012 12:08 am( A lot to do )
I spent several hours writing today, but did not finish the chapter of LoF yet. I got about 3000 words, though, and will revise it tomorrow and hopefully finish it. I also wrote 2000 words on the original fiction and 700 something on Three Hour Tour. Tied for third again this week at then_theres_us with Unfinished Business. Don't know what ever happened with the voting for Challenge 55. They never put it up so maybe they just decided not enough was submitted to vote. They put the new prompts up today and I really like them, can see an idea using three or four of them, but promised myself I wouldn't even attempt a challenge fic this week until after I finish that chapter of LoF.
I skipped swimming today. I was planning to go after dropping Chris off at the airport, but I just felt over all cruddy today, like I'm definitely coming down with a cold. Again. I hate the cold season in the PNW. It does not help that the weather is swinging rather violently back and forth between 65 degrees and 45 degrees. Sunny and nice one day and bitter and windy and rainy the next. I will try to go tomorrow. I always feel better when I move and it will be earlier in the day. I don't like going out with partially wet hair in the dark and cold air and it is impossible to blow dry my hair in less than half an hour since it reaches my waist and is thicker than Mr. Thickety-Thick from Thickania.
I am getting my hair cut on Tuesday. I've had it. I love having long hair, but the upkeep is getting ridiculous so I'm going to have them cut off about eight inches or so, so that it is just long enough to put up in a ponytail for swimming. Any shorter and it will get in my face all the time and I hate that more than I hate the endless tangle war so... I think the long hair is contributing to my frequent headaches, too.
Amy, I'm sorry I'm being such a stranger lately on chat. I've just been exhausted this week.
