lagilmanToday started at 7am. Except for an hour where I forced myself to go sit in the local park and Breathe, Damnit, I have been at my desk All Day. Literally. A 12-hour day.
But there are now 73 more pages of revisions integrated into the main manuscript for WEIGHT OF STONE. Another 30 to go on this section. Then another 100 or so on section 3. Meanwhile, my Readers of Last Defense have part 1. Not that I'm worried, or anything, she said, chewing at her last cuticle...
Due? Oh yeah. On the 22nd. Monday. Ack.
We might be making that an 18-hour day.
----------------------
Meanwhile, I am doing Weird Things with Food again. In point of fact, I did not know that pignoli, celery, roasted minced garlic, chipolte, caramelized onions, olive oil and grated aged goat cheese would work on pasta, much less go well with a Marsannay rose, but hey, it did. Need to adjust the ratio of oil to chile a bit before I invite any tendertongues over for dinner, tho.
-------------------
and, because it's been a while without a Feline Interlude...
Pandora is in my lap, as usual while I work, and she places her paws on the keyboard, for all the world, I tell her, like an oversized squirrel.
And then Boomer, on the desk behind me, lumbers over to investigate, and I reach back to chuck him under the chin. "Yes, moose," I say, using my nickname for him, "I love you too..."
And then I stop, as it strikes me.
OMG, I have Moose and Squirrel!
It All Makes Sense Now.
(well, no, it really doesn't. But I am stressed, and therefore Easily Amused today)

Date: 2010-03-18 11:21 pm (UTC)(I'm still learning my limits with chipolte. And my limits are pretty high on the burn-o-meter)
I wonder how it would work if I added toasted black sesame seeds to it....
