Today’s Tally
I’ve had a very productive day so far, which is good because I haven’t had many of those lately. (I’m such a slacker!)
I spent several hours this morning proofing the next print edition of The Sword Review. It was fun, especially because I missed most of the submissions while they were under consideration. (Guess I was really busy or something.)
I also managed to get in a writing practice that thankfully turned into something for the book I’ve been struggling with. My goal for the week is to FINALLY get that stupid novel up to 80,000 words. I’ve only got a couple thousand to go, so it’s technically do-able. (Then of course the next, much harder, goal is to make it good.)
Now, if only I could get caught up on reading DKA subs. I should read one today but after all that proofing I don’t think my eyes can take any more reading.
I’m been doing really well with the whole diet and exercise thing lately. I hope that when I have my cholesterol checked next week, the numbers will be especially good and Doc will say “Wow, you’re doing great. Have you been doing anything different?” Well, yes, actually I have.
All that eating right must be getting to me though because today all I really want out of life is a bag of Pepper Jack Doritoes. Ah, the yummy badness. The spicy kick. The delightful crunch. It’s so clear in my memory.
I keep telling myself that I can’t have any Doritoes because I don’t have the cash and there is no store in the area that sells them anyway. Of course the truth is I have a couple bucks and there’s a 7-11 just up the street. But no! Doritoes are extinct! I am sure of it! They don’t even make them anymore!
Clearly, I need help.
In the meantime, I am trying to focus on the spaghetti with peas and parmesan that I am planning to have for dinner. It’s also quite delicious. And not nearly as bad for me.
