Friday, FEB 13th (with a capital 13)
okay,
I'm checking in to say I've had a setback.
In honor of the day, I got up this morning and partially sliced off the knuckle on the middle finger of my right hand. One nicked tendon and four stitches later, I'm wrestling the keyboard to type this. (lots of deleting going on here... the process is slow)
Fortunately no surgery, the tendon should heal on it's own, but the splint is a monster (I can't find a way to hold a pencil...yet, but I'm working on it) and darn it, the blasted thing hurts... (I, know, I know. If it felt good, everybody would want one.)
The good news is I can flip people off and pretend it's an accident. The bad news is, it is distracting me from what I'm supposed to be doing. ick. Plus I got that assignment for the new (to me) magazine and I'm supposed to scout and take pictures of a local establishment. Still trying to figure out how to accomplish that. :ack
Spent the past week doing a rewrite of most of what I wrote last weekend. Don't know how much wordage I gained because I also cut bunches. I'm going to spend the weekend trying to tie the two stories in the :teeth monster:teeth novel together. Quite a challenge. I was going to scribble scenes on index cards, and now it looks like I will really be scribbling :cry .
Enough pity party! Bah! Okay, guys, how goes it with you? Tell me your major accomplishments and boost my spirits!
I'll be checking back during the weekend to see what's going on. Humor Hounds Sound Off!!
Annie: Good to hear that you grabbed a big chunk of time during the holiday. You go girl!
Lori: Missy, you can just march yourself right back to that martini bar and find that lost Wednesday, do you hear? Do you think those things grow on trees?
Jen: Did you finish up chapter 3? Hope your flu is better.
Oh, and I'm now officially on hiatus, so come Monday, I'm gonna be plugging for that 2,000 words a day even if I have to type with my nose!
