rolanni: (Caffeine Deadline)

Slightly faster, in a forwarder direction

I've negotiated a four-day week at the day-job until March 15, which is the deadline for turning in Longeye. Hopefully, this will result in (lots and lots and lots) of increased productivity. Also, I'm within hailing distance of the place where, once achieved, a Whole Lot of the Rest is Forced. This will also, hopefully, speed things up.

On the way home from work last evening, I stopped by the lab to give the vamps their tithe of blood. My reward was a call from the doctor's office this afternoon, with the information that TSH is 3.0 with the new meds. I am, so the nurse would have it, Good To Go. Eventually, I will need to achieve a new prescription form so I can take advantage of the drugs-by-mail program offered by the health insurance, which will apparently save a bit more on the cost.

Having been to the vamps, I wasn't much good for anything else the rest of the night, so Steve and I watched Stardust, which was wonderful fun. The ghost Greek chorus made the film for me, and I very much adored the lightning harvester.

Progress on Longeye

That's great that your boss/company was so accommodating on the 4-day week. It also says you're a great asset to them, so they're willing to flex for you. Nice!

Congratulations. It can't be easy writing under the gun, even if you know where you are going. I rather admire those who add to their word counters with regularity.

Target has cheap(er) generics - some available for $4.00 a month; might be worth checking into. Glad your meds are now adjusted and that you've eked out more time to write!

Outstanding for the day-job! They must really like and respect you.
How goes the tired, lethargic feeling? Less stress will probably help too.
