...and Hopes That the Day Job Doesn't Hand His Ass to Him Like Last Week. Seriously, though...I'd like a week where I can breathe in between issues, please? It's not that things are going wrong (although there was the classic System Update That Borks Everything situation earlier last week. All I'm asking is for a few quiet days where I'm not putting fires out left and right. If it's not too much to ask...?
Other than that, the weekend was quite nice, if a bit chilly. Saturday we didn't do much except grocery shopping and going out for sushi and later coffee, and today we had lunch at an amazing and TINY Filipino restaurant before heading down to the Symphony. The smoke seems to be dissipating somewhat here in the city, as I can now see more than a few blocks down the street and the air is breathable. It was kind of odd seeing a lot of people wearing air masks the last few days...I usually only see the old Chinese ladies doing that around town more as a germ-avoidance precaution, but I've seen pretty much everyone across the board wearing them. We of course didn't get around to buying any this time out, but then again we're both so used to being inside all day that they weren't needed. Perhaps next time we'll stock up.
I'm so happy it's clearing up a bit, because we are both feeling the cabin fever something fierce. I need to head back to the gym too.
Anything else? Hmm...no, not really. Still in Revision Status, and not much to report there other than that I'm around halfway done (woo!), I've had to completely rewrite a few chapters (boo!) and I'm still on schedule to get this bugger out there by early next year. I've been kind of lazy the last few days and haven't gotten bugger all done, but on the other hand it's worth taking a mental day or two just to recharge. I *do* have a few other writing things in mind that I'd like to talk about, but I'm going to wait on them for another time. Heh.
Hope everyone has a good week, and a happy Thanksgiving if you're in the US! :)
