elfsI had an absolutely lovely Wednesday, visiting with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shemayazi. We went out for Mexican food, watched the eclipse and did the appropriately pagan thing. I didn't get home until very late because we stayed up and chatted for all hours.
But now Friday has rolled around and I have no idea what I'm going to do for the party on Saturday or T-or-T'ing with the kids on Sunday. I do know that the party on Saturday will be ending early, since I'll be tending the kids all by myself; Omaha is going out on a "girls only" party with some of her friends.
And if it doesn't rain, it pours: work today announced that "we're in the final weeks until release, so you're all on sixty-hour weeks. Come in weekends or stay twelve hours, we don't care, but you're going to put in the extra time." Whatever. Fortunately, I can do some of it from home, but this makes me about as happy as a cat in zero gravity (If that link doesn't work anymore, go to BoingBoing and go through the recent archives).
On the other hand, I have managed to write about 700 words this week. I've been very stressed, under-rested and over-worked, and the election hasn't helped at all. The 700 words are crap and will probably get tossed in revision, but at least I wrote something. Something about cyber-telepathically linked squirrel furries who drifted apart because the orgasms were better that way...
