lagilman: coffee or die (Default)
[personal profile] lagilman
Woke this morning at 5:45 to the sound of spinning wheels as someone outside tried to get their car out of the snow and ice they couldn't be bothered with all weekend. Lord, what fools these mortals be!

(hint for those of you new to snowpocalypse: even if you're not going anywhere, occasionally go out, dig out your car, and shift location by a few inches. You'll be thankful when it is time to actually drive anywhere).

Under the heading of "ah, technology," my second wake-up call came via my phone. Because I am an organized meerkat, I have all my scheduled items gathered in one place. It used to be my Palm software. Now it's Google Calender. And thanks to Google technology, I get an update every morning about what's on-schedule for the day.

All day Mon Dec 22 VINEART 1 due

*hugs manuscript to chest* No! It's not ready! It's still too young to go out there in the scary world! What if the other manuscript pick on it and steal its lunch money?"

On the other hand, let it go be someone else's problem for a while. Yeah. Exactly one year and five days after officially starting writing, and eight months almost exactly after closing the deal.

It's 12 degrees outside, I don't have to leave the apartment today, and there are still some cookies left over. Cookies and tea for breakfast on book-delivery day. Good tradition, that.

"What if the other manuscript pick on it and steal its lunch money?"

LOL You really should give spew alerts! If I had been drinking coffee, it would have gone all over the screen.

*gently pets the meerkat and subtly tries to pry the MS from her clutchy, grabby hands*

It'll be ALL RIGHT.

But you know that.

You're a wise meerkat.

*amused snort* It's a manuscript by YOU. It'll be the one taking other books' lunch money.

*snickers madly* It'll do fine! It'll even come home with a picture it made just for you! It's a very tough little MS. *snerk*

How it can be so cold here without snowpocalypse, I do not know. But that means I *have* to go out in it, and get the last of my shopping done. Bah.
