Wednesday morning, and the bum shoulder's still bummy. (Actually, it's more of the shoulder blade than the shoulder, but still won't be fun slinging books with the thing.) Dang it. May pop an ibuprofen or two before work, though I have no idea if it did any good last night.
Dang it.
May or may not have to shop after work for last-minute Stuff. And somehow I have to squeeze ornament work in around making dinner. May fall back on chicken strip and fry again. I also (shudder) may have to wake up early tomorrow so I can get a little work in before the family gathering. And maybe some after the family gathering. (The final phase is going to require multiple steps, unfortunately. Would be so much easier if I had a place to hang them while they dried, but I don't, so I must allow for propping them in various positions while avoiding putting big thumbprints in damp Apoxie.)
Also working my way back into that unfinished story. I know I went off the rails at some point, which is why I dead-ended, but I'm trying to determine just where.
Dang it.
Eh, well... all must wait until after work. Gotta get shoes on soon and head out the door. Fingers crossed it'll be a light day...

And it's Wednesday evening, on the warmest day-before-Turkey-Day I can readily recall. It hit the 70's in some local cities. The wind felt almost summerlike, warm and muggy. Seeing gray November skies speckled with drifting autumn leaves as a warm, moist wind breezes by was borderline surreal.
As for how the day went...
On the plus side, we got out of work early.
On the minus side, I had to shop my way home - which required hitting two stores, because the first was dead out of what I wanted. Dang it. So that ate the extra time gained by getting out early.
On the plus side again, I got some work done on ornaments, evening some base coat divots and bumps and cracks.
On the minus side, I didn't get to all twelve of them before I had to come in to start dinner (chicken soup, to use up some boneless chicken breast.) So four aren't caught up.
On the plus side, we watched a new-to-us MST3K ep with dinner (Mad Monster).
On the minus side, we kept getting interrupted.
So, ultimately, it was a neutral day, with a slight bias toward plus because I got myself chocolate chip cookies for dessert.
We're leaving for Turkey Day late enough I might be able to catch up on those four last ornaments before we leave. Or maybe after we get back. It's Turkey Day, after all... plus we'll likely have enough leftovers I won't have to prep dinner, giving me extra time in the evening.
Will do some more rereading/skimming tonight, maybe some spitballing, then call it good. Holiday tomorrow, so I'll give myself a pass on major productivity.
And my stupid shoulder blade's still a bit twingy, dang it, though it wasn't so bad at work as I'd thought. Could've been the ibuprofen helping, though.
