thanateWhich is to say it's taking far longer than it should, but I did at least break 1.1k words for today. Sigh. And sleep, sleep is a very good thing...
According to my tracker, I'm now on track to finish this year even if I don't increase the pace here-- as opposed to yesterday, when I was (at 79 words per day) estimated to finish on July 31 of 2008. And improvement, but not so much.
Anyway, no firm plans for the weekend... a bunch of people are going to Crown Tourney, which I might or might not go out for (it's in Richmond, so not that far away...) and my parents are going up to visit my grandparents, so I'm on cat duty. And Fergus has suddenly seriously malfunctioning kidneys and has to be given two kinds of pill twice a day, another two things once a day, and be fed small amounts of food with some frequency, so I can't do more than day-trip anyway. And with luck I will get some more sleep, and write things efficiently instead of feeling like it's 3 in the morning and I've still got two pages of my 6-8 page paper to write that I really don't want to work on but have to draw conclusions for before I can go to sleep because it has to be turned in the day after tomorrow all printed and edited and pretty, and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
heuchera went to sleep an hour ago, so I can't use exchanging e-mails with her as my every half hour or so study break, and there isn't even a vending machine downstairs from which I can get chocolate or skittles or something to keep me going... Writing things I want to write shouldn't be that sort of an effort, really. But the falling asleep thing doesn't help.
Although part of the reason I'm tired and quite cold is that I did go to fencing this evening and used up lots of energy. And I did pretty well, and everyone kept telling me I'm getting better. Which is encouraging, so far as it goes... I still do dumb stuff, but much less, and it's starting to be balanced by actually doing not-so-dumb stuff, too. Go me.
