No, I didn’t

Much to my relief, I followed through on not succumbing to my imp of the perverse on Friday. I actually put in extra hours so I could finish the Monster Earth story, Peace with Honor. And that despite taking a long lunch to go shopping for furniture and food (the Whole Foods is having a gay pride event today so the parking lot is packed).
The writing went well. Several changes I made this go-round will have to be tidied up but the plot is sound, the character arcs hold up and I included everything I wanted to get in on this draft, such as physical descriptions, settings and stuff (I sometimes forget readers aren’t privy to what I see in my mind’s eye). I’m confident I’ll have it in by deadline.
I also resubmitted four of my older stories to boot.
TYG’s operation being more extreme than last year’s, she’s not recovering as fast—not that she’s lying in the ICU or anything, but she tires more, hurts more and gets frustrated more than at this point last year. As expected, helping out is taking up time, but I allowed for that this week (and next week) so I’m not thrown off (despite the Thursday mess linked to in the first paragraph).
