Woo! Today is new Buffy day!
I didn't make my quota on the novel this morning. Once the workday started and I was officially on the clock I got too distracted to keep going on it. I kicked a new chapter off to a good start, though, so I still feel good about that. It features a different pair of characters than I've been writing about for the past week, so it took almost the entire hour just to get into their heads and remember where I'm going with their plot thread. I'm really beginning to see the advantages of single-character, first person POV. SO much simpler to write.
Today might be a busy one. I was warned on Monday that today we'd be busting our collective arse to get a construction drawing issue out tonight, but I'm not sure whether that was going to be for the meeting that got postponed, or if it was something else. If it was for the meeting, then it probably won't go out today. I hope it was for the meeting.
My big goal for today is simply to get through it. If I had felt confident that CAG would show up today, I would have called in sick (she did show up, thankfully, so at least I don't have to handle her workload on top of mine). I feel okay for now, but it's one of those intensely painful and uncomfortable Girly TMI days, and if my heating pad and Midol combo doesn't continue to do the trick, I might see if they'll let me go home early. No reason I should be the only stalwart who works through the pain and never takes advantage of sick days around here.
It probably goes without saying that there's no way I'm going to the gym today, but there, I said it anyway.
At least I'll have free comfort food. A couple of the engineers just told me they brought in the stuff to set up a taco bar for lunch. That sure beats the low-carb yogurt I was planning to eat. Hoo!
And now I'm going to proceed to goof off for as long as I can get away with it. Right after I go microwave my heating pad. Ow.
