Busybusybusy
Today's my last day of work before I move on Saturday. It's going to be a busybusybusy couple of days. I hate moving. Hate it with (as we used to say) a flaming purple passion. I would positively worship anyone who could invent a teleportation device that would allow you to teleport your belongings from one place to another without packing or carrying or any of that mess.
Of course, it's my own fault I'm going to be so busy, as I've been rather slack this week in packing and cleaning and such. Ah well, it's been a good week, for all of that. Max is doing much better. His voice is slowly but surely starting to come back, as evidenced by him wandering around the house meowing last night. He scared me to death last night as I was trying to go to sleep. He was laying next to me on the bed, sound asleep, when his hind legs would periodically kick and twitch violently. At first I thought he was having a convulsion, it was that bad. As he seemed okay otherwise, and was so soundly asleep, I started to realize that it looked like he was fighting something off in his sleep (he fights with his hind claws). I guess he must have been having a nightmare. I worry sometimes about what he's been through.
I did get something accomplished yesterday, however. I mentioned possibly creating a gaming journalers' webring in yesterday's entry. Well, I did. Gamer Geeks: Journals With Character was created yesterday and currently has three members with a fourth waiting to be approved. Woohoo! Of course, in the process of setting up the webpage, I taught myself CSS for real, instead of the faked version on my journal pages. Now I'm eyeing my journal and tempted to re-vamp everything. This is the first big redesign bug I've had since going to frames last November. I think any major overhaul is going to have to wait until after I move for sure, and quite possibly until after I finish writing the book.
Yes, yes, I know I've been terribly vague about it here, but the book plan I
mentioned
nearly a month ago
did get accepted by
Dream Pod 9
, and I'm currently working on the first draft, which is due at the end of
July, and waiting for my contract to come in the mail. Mail from Canada to the
US (and vice versa) is decidedly weird. The contract hasn't gotten here yet,
but the waiver for the
story
they published on their webpage got here last night. It was sent about a week
and a half
after
the contract. Sigh. I mean, it's not like I don't already know what the terms
will be, I'm just impatient to actually SEE it. I've mentioned to a few people
that I'm 'under contract' to write a book, and that's not exactly true, yet.
Until that silly form comes in the mail.
