On Getting Stuff Done

rolanniPart of this morning's labors has consisted of working out a solution with a business partner about what to do with an order form that someone has apparently been hoarding for five years, until, I guess, they had enough money; then mailing the order form and the check to a PO Box that's this close to Very Dead Happily, our business partner can fill the order, so the customer's (multiply) lucky. This time.
In the spirit of Getting Things Done, I started the laundry, renewed my Tracfone for a year and bought a pair of shoes that I hope to ghod will satisfy the inserts to which I have lately fallen heir. Considering the double whammy on the credit card, I'm thinking I'm not going to be placing that order at Sock Dreams. Sigh. I regret the stripey socks, and the star socks, too. Maybe another time.
Speaking of hits to the credit card, today's post brought me From Dead to Worse from Charlaine Harris; Rachel Caine's newest, Undone; and The Kimono and the Geisha-Diva Ichimaru by Barry Till, Michiko Warkentyne and Judith Pratt.
I don't know when I thought I'd have time to read these, but I'm happy to have them in the TBR pile. I'm going to have some tough choices to make after I finish Jim Morrow's Shambling Toward Hiroshima, which is being a huge amount of fun, even if I can only read a page or six a day.
In and around all this Saturday excitement, I've been working out the next moves in Mouse and Dragon. I had to go back through a couple chapters to straighten out a minor, but irritating, kink, and now I think I'm ready to go forward. Mmmmm, norbears.
Below, a new and improved word-count bar, just so we're all on the same page.
Progress on Mouse and Dragon
...see you on the flip side.

Date: 2009-04-05 04:29 am (UTC)I've led an ignorant, deprived life. At the age of 45, I've only just this past week picked up and read "Seventh Son," Orson Scott Card's kickoff to the Alvin the Maker series. Of course, they didn't have book 2, so I had to settle for buying 1 and 3-6.
I've spent half my month's allowance already, and I'm also trying to fit in work towards a Masters degree... pity me? :o)
