The work I did on Jekyll and Hyde this week was good but it didn’t move anywhere near as fast as I need.
(Snowdrop eyes our Roomba warily)
Part of that is that I should have starting rewriting my initial entries a lot sooner. I didn’t. So now there’s more work and it’s taking longer. Part of it’s that I had a few distractions this week. Lack of sleep (I think the time change is still messing with me). Plushie’s recheck on Monday (he’s doing well). Increased numbers of dog exercises every day — a small addition to my schedule but it sometimes doesn’t feel like it. More contractors to deal with.
(Plushie is back to enjoying his rolls in the grass).
And my efforts to confine my newspaper work to one day of the week didn’t work, which always leads to the work expanding more than it should. I did get in a good story on Carrboro’s efforts to manage invasive plant species and why it matters. My second story isn’t online yet.
To top it off our olive-oil sprayer met Mr. Kitchen Tile this morning so we spent around 45 minutes mopping up olive oil, sweeping up glass and then vacuuming. Which made it way hard to get my brain back on track. Sigh.
I wound up skipping the Genre Book Club I’ve been attending and I moved my dental appointment next week (routine checkup) to January, after the book is in.
My writing at Atomic Junk Shop was all reposts of stuff here so no need to link. But if you’re on FB you can check out my online Con-Tinual panel on enduring comic-book favorites. One of mine was Scooby-Doo Team-Up (cover by Dario Brizuela) for reasons I blogged about here.
Wish me better luck next week.
