State of the Meerkat, rollin' out of the old year

[lagilman]

8 hours work + 1 hour movement + 2 glasses of wine = a day that achieves and does not hurt.

I should probably tattoo that somewhere I can see it easily... maybe I can shave it into the cat's fur?

So, I finished the first pass of FIXED (Gin & Tonic #2), and am now pretty sure I know where I broke things during the fixing. So, revisions pass #2 begins on Monday, and I'm on schedule to hand it over to Madame Micki at Pocket on the 8th.

And then, because the universe loves me and doesn't want me to get bored, Madame Matrice sent back her pithy and useful notes on "Miles to Go," the first installment of the Sylvan Investigations series. Since it's due to go to First Reader (aka "She Who Must be Entertained") on Friday.... yeah, I know what's on-deck for the weekend.

Along, that is, with cleaning the apartment, plotting the rest of 2012's travel schedule, and getting outside into the OMGYAYit'sAutumn! weather, and doing my share of cooking for Sunday night's Rosh Hashannah gathering at my folks. As I told a friend recently, I'm not a practicing (religious) Jew, but the High Holy Days mean something to me, spiritually. I don't try to explain it, I just accept and embrace it....

so there will be more on that, come Monday.

So have yourselves a lovely, productive, entertaining, restful, fill-in-the-blank weekend!

Happy new year. Enjoy Autumn and don't hog it all. (Wait, can I say "hog" to a nonpracticing but spiritual Jew on a High Holy Day?) I want some Autumn here, preferably of the "cool enough to wear sweaters" variety!

Have a blessed holiday.

I seem to have spent most of today asleep. I blame the stress of the week for this.

Hey, at least She Who Must Be Entertained is a lot less scary than a Machete Squad, which is what Seanan McGuire calls her group of First Readers.

Have a wonderful, crisp Autumn!
