lauraanne_gilman | Monday, fast-forward

Get up at 6. Feed ~~furry sharks~~ felines. Go back to bed until 7. Get up, answer e-mails, make breakfast. Think longingly of coffee, settle for really strong black tea. Word war to the tune of 2,200 new words. Take shower. Feel tired, heed inner NP and take a 45 minute nap. Wake up, make lunch. Deal with more e-mail and website mischegas. Consider rest of to-do list. Flip a coin to see which to tackle first. Kill freelance dead. Remember it's Monday and I have to pick a contest winner and set up the new contest. Decide that can wait until after dinner (sorry, guys). Flip coin to see what project comes next. Shove cat off manuscript, go back to work. Pause to brush puma (anyone want a kitten-sized bag of clean, fluffy golden-red fur?). Make more ice tea (I drank how much today?). Go back to work.

I'd consider myself officially back-at-work, yeah. Despite the remnant coughing and exhaustion.

Also, any NYC-area folk who want to go to a wine tasting this Saturday, drop me a line!
