Catching up...
Jun. 16th, 2008 03:30 amI fell asleep around 9 pm last night, listening to Jonah Goldberg's Liberal Fascism. The subject didn't put me to sleep, but I notice I find it hard to listen to anyone reading a book for very long without drifting off. (In fact, I think I'm going to have to come up with a better method for listening, period, but that's grist for a separate post.)
Anyway, I woke up around 1:30 am and it's pretty clear, after a few minutes, that (a) I'm going to have to backtrack through the audio file, which is no big deal, as long as we're talking about "later," and (b) I need to actually finish the 3600-word job I completed earlier in the day and send it off before tomorrow, um,... this morning.
In the middle of doing that, I remembered that Saturday, I had agreed to do about 250 words for another client, also for tomorrow morning.
So, as of a few minutes ago, everything is done, despeckled, and sent, except for invoices.
The crap that I was sick with has left me with a cough and stuffy sinuses. I'm not much for taking over-the-counter medicine (had Galina not gotten sick too, we never would've gotten the bottle of Theraflu that she half-emptied), but I'm getting powerful tired of coughing. I think I may take a slug of the stuff before heading back to the rack.
Apropos of which, what am I doing still sitting at the computer?
Cheers...
