apocalypsosOnly one more chapter of GPW to edit and I am officially caught up with where I'm supposed to be! Woohoo!
This is the problem with working as many hours as I am, and fitting in the gym every day, AND not having a car, AND having to edit two different manuscripts, AND having a book and a Big Bang I want to write but am having the hardest time finding the time to squeeze in. Somewhere between the overtime and the not-having-a-car, the stupid car is swallowing up a huge chunk of my time. Case in point: my mom picked me up from work today, and then detoured to Wal-Mart to pick up cat litter and wash her car, wasting an hour of precious writing time.
I did manage to squeeze out some notes on my Big Bang today at work, though, and thankfully the show's been throwing me a few bones in canon. It just goes to show how little free time I've had lately, however, because the company laid off a few people in other departments today, and I couldn't suppress a bit of disappointment when the people in my section found out our jobs are safe as long as the customer service department is safe, and they'd lay off everybody else before they laid off the people trained to take the phone calls. I had a moment of FREE TIME TO WRITE ZOMG!!! before I reminded myself that, dude, layoffs are BAD.
I really just wish I could have a day to myself to sit at my computer and write, and not have to worry that this has to be edited or that needs to be cleaned or I've got a full overtime schedule and therefore don't have a day off until March.
Ugh, have to go to bed, need to wake up in six hours to slog off to the gym.
