News For Today
Um, I guess see post below, on the personal front.
Yesterday was a "bad brain day". Not only could I not focus enough to pull together a story, it didn't even occur to me to use my headphones to block out distractions... the headphones that I basically haven't shut up about or stopped using since I got them. Not that they helped. But this is okay. I have the expectation that Such Days Will Happen built into my plans. It's why I saved the story I wrote Tuesday for Wednesday and said the story I planned on writing on Wednesday would go up Friday, instead of getting all cocky and saying "Hey, I'm totally writing a chapter every day."
Personal Assessment
Sleep came late and was interrupted by fucking birds and/or squirrels on the roof (an analysis made after I was more awake made acrobatic squirrels seem more likely, but I'm fairly sure I heard bird noises). But I did sleep.
Dreams From Last Night
Whatever I dreamed during the night part of last night was lost when I woke up and fell asleep again. Something about traveling across the (modern) country via coach. But after the interruption happened, I fell back asleep and dreamed that the noises on the roof were actually workers patching the roof.

If that's not terrifying enough by itself, remember: Elmo knows where you live.
Plans For Today
Write a chapter, if I'm fully recovered from yesterday's brain-fog (I just wrote "today's brain-fog" on my first try... not necessarily a terrible omen, since I did just wake up), or get a good start on a chapter that I can finish tomorrow if not. Either way my goal of a chapter on Friday is pretty low-hanging fruit, which is kind of amazing that this week has had a bad brain day, interrupted sleep, and dealing with emotional problems.
Next week you're going to see the return of the old-fashioned task list (gosh dang it, I just typed "return of the low-hanging fruit"... I need to take my pills and then go stand under running water when this is done, or something... and maybe start doing that before writing my status posts. Although if I didn't catch the mistakes as I made them it could be more entertaining this way) in this space.) as I have a better idea how much of my workday to devote to putting together a chapter of Tales of MU and I start allocating the rest of my time.
