The week so far: work, writing, company, food
Not a bad week, all in all. Work at the day job continues to be slow, but things are beginning to pick up, and I can see where next week is going to shift into higher gear. I interviewed a new editor for my team today who will beef up our ranks.
Writing continues apace, about 500 words per day more or less. I don't know how this short story is going to end. I thought I did, but I've made a couple of changes, and suddenly I'm not quite sure where I'm going. This is how I end up with UFOs on my hard drive. (That stands for unfinished objects, in case you were wondering.) I don't want another UFO on my hard drive. I want a finished story. I'll push on tonight and see where it gets me. What do you do when a story seems to get away from you?
I had a lovely evening with varina8 last night. I made dinner, and we watched three episodes of the Eccleston Doctor Who (hence the icon). We've been working our way toward Captain Jack's introduction--which comes with our next get-together, whenever that may be. I'm really enjoying reviewing the first season of NuWho. It's fun to rediscover the show like this, and it really does bear up under rewatching. And it's fun to watch varina8 discover it episode by episode.
This past week was my first on Weight Watchers. My first weigh-in was Tuesday night, and I was down three pounds, which makes me cautiously optimistic. I found myself not quite missing sweet things the way I thought I might, which is good. Today, however, I found myself pacing my apartment like a caged animal trying not to binge. I ended up eating some air-popped popcorn, which is about as light as popcorn gets, and that definitely helped. It also helped that I saved some points so I could have a mocha during my interview.
The only other thing going on is that I'll have company this weekend, and I have some cleaning up and decluttering to do before company arrives. Spanky's usually good about staying out from under foot when I'm cleaning, but because Sophie really isn't, I purchased one of those cat toys that occasionally lets loose a treat. That's kept her occupied for hours. Must watch it, though. I want to preserve her lovely figure.
