Down to crunch time with my editing - nearly all of what I'm working on needs to be finished within the next few days. So, this is pretty much my mood at the moment:
*dies at the LOLcat* Yikes...editors can be...terrifying.... *shrinks from the Cami*
But really, I'll be praying. *huggles* Man, the deadlines do like to pounce all at once! Abi's going through the deadline crunch currently too, had actually just been saying yesterday that she'd never before felt like she was almost needing Sunday to get everything done. But I really do sincerely believe that the Lord gives more grace and really does bless us when we give that time to Him, even when we're feeling we don't have enough time in a day to do everything we need to get done. I've never yet studied on a Sunday, and never once have I bombed an 8 AM Monday test or failed to finish a paper because of it. *g* He really does bless that commitment, hard as it may be at times! (Particularly stressful times! :D)
(And you know, I'm always amazed at Eric Liddell's example. Heh, you know, if there'd ever be a time when you'd be inclined to fudge, it strikes me you might be inclined to make an excuse for something HUGE.... "But it's the

Ha! *snarls fiercely* Ah yes, I may be all nice and and gentle and all, but catch me on a bad day, and it's, "Just do as I say! Or... um... I know karate! And... I'll e-mail you a round kick to the head! So there. That ought to straighten you out." *bg*
Thanks so much for the prayers. *hugs back* God has indeed been faithful - as always. :) It is just... incredible, really, to see that blessing, at times when to all appearances there is no way everything'll get done without that time.
Oh yes. *incoherent squee of fannish delight* They're just so absolutely wonderful! Hehe, I kept bursting into giggles, which bugged Nef to no end, because I'd be sitting there laughing, she'd ask what I was laughing at, and I so desperately wanted to tell her, but just... couldn't... because it'd spoil things for her, and... all I could tell her was, "It's just so good!" And oh, those two parts were some of my favorites, too! (Rotfl, poor Eugenides, though - other mortals get epic, dramatic messages from the gods. He gets told to quit whining and go

I love that picture - it should definitely keep anyone from messing with stressed editors. ;-) I hope you'll be able to get all your work done in time and without too much stress, mellon-nin. :)
Hehe, it is a very fun picture. ;) As much as I truly enjoy editing, it is not often that I get to that state, but every once in a while there are a few people/circumstances/moments of particular stress... *g* But yes, I was able to get all the time-pressured stuff finished and safely on its way - now I'm just on the finishing stages of a few much more relaxed projects. So yaaay! :D
