My novel (well, duh).

My headache. I have had a headache for the last several days on the right side of my head. It hurts in the same general spot every day. I woke up at 3 this morning having had a dream about this headache and lo, it was there. It sucketh mightily.

My backache. See headache.

My to-do list. Which now includes calling my brother to cancel Thanksgiving because I just need a goddamn break. And calling my PT to reschedule. And planting a goddamn amaryllis bulb because my mother-in-law keeps bugging my husband about it. And sending out a notebook. And finishing a crit. And reading ’s book, which I am looking forwrd to, so that doesn’t suck. And…. *sigh* I just wanted a fucking week off like everybody else.

My work, see yesterday.

My email and website. Both broken. And yet Network Solutions still claims to be my domain registrar. I swear, I’m going to go over there and just start kicking some ass, ninja-style soon if they prevent me from leaving this year (they have successfully thwarted my attempts to go elsewhere for several years. If there are any lawyers who are planning a class-action case, let me know.)

I washed the dog.
I’m not thrilled by my job this week.
I had my highest word count day so far and caught up to where I wanted to be.
A couple of folks (family members) have asked if I’m OK, based on my recent posts, and lack thereof. Yes, I am fine. I am writing a novel and avoiding my LiveJournal. It is good for me, I swear.

Also: My military escort guy? One walking hard-on.
