jon_chaissonIt's Friday and I'm enjoying the second of two days off from work. That was a LONG slog...seven straight days, six of which were opening shifts (5:45am to 2ish) and one midday shift (2-8pm). I spend most of yesterday just being lazy and conserving energy, doing not much except laundry and a walk to the bank to get more quarters. My boss posts the schedule on Thursday evenings but I think I'll be lazy and check tomorrow when I go in again. I still adhere to the strict 'out of sight, out of mind' rule when it comes to the Day Job, heh.
In writing news, I finally managed to finish that one passage that had been bothering me for a week and a half. I wanted to give this character some closure that had been bothering him earlier in the novel, but I didn't want to spend too much time rehashing everything that had already gone on. So how to do that? Well, economically, it turns out: the scene ends up being more about putting him at ease than giving him more conflict or drama, which made more sense. And it also balances out the latter half of that chapter where he finds himself in new and infinitely more annoying drama! Go me! Heh.
In personal news...I've realized that maybe I should revive the daily stretches and exercises, either before or after work and definitely on my days off. I think I'm in better shape now that I'm more active (thanks, Day Job), but I still feel a bit achey here and there. I know, I know...it's partly age, but I don't think it's tissue or bone degradation just yet....it's more like bad posture and habits. I still need to work on back stretches and knee bends. If after a while I realize that maybe it is age, I'll go see the doc about it. Either way, I can get in better shape.
On that note...hope everyone has a lovely weekend!
