Mrsmig - yeah, hanging around waiting is far more tiring than being busy.
Dreamsage - sounds like a rough time. I hope things get better for you soon.
As for my goals, well, doing better than I anticipated. I actually managed to finish my SS:AMNG story completely. My first attempt at the pate de fruit did not set.
But I'm going to try again before I write them off as a lost cause. I'm going to try the caramels again too. Never say die in the kitchen! *G* Still waiting on the additional yarn I need to finish the crocheted blanket, so it's kind of stalled at the moment. Hoping to get the first scene, if not the first two scenes of Crystal Throne done this coming week, which will round out the month nicely.
[
X] work on SS:AMNG story – (word count 12,901/10,000) Completely finished! Ahead of schedule too, I might add.
[ ] start The Crystal Throne (this is going to be a LONG story for me – will likely be on my goals for the rest of the year) – I have two lines written, does that count as starting? *g*
[
X] finish short story
[ ] finish crocheted blanket – 16 more rounds to do
[
X] attempt to make pate de fruits and soft caramels - attempted both - failed at both.
But I'll be trying again.
