Back to sort-of normal...

alexpgpThe second and third assignments of the month came in today, which gave me an opportunity to get come work under my belt before I had to take a nap again.
Drat.
I've required more and more time to recover from chemo after each successive session. It's been two weeks and I'm far from chipper, which suggests that the medicine is doing a pretty adequate job of poisoning me, while keeping the cancer merely in check.
As it turned out, I had another sleep session that lasted until shortly after noon.
As I pick my way semi-randomly through my LJ, I keep finding patches of text that—for the moment, at least—sound like they'd fit into my memoir. That said, I get the feeling I am only creating more work for myself.
Ideally, I'd like a good first edition to be completed by mid-December (around my birthday).
Another wave of deliveries—four or five items, if memory serves—is gathering steam to hit the mailbox, but perhaps the item I am anticipating the most is a "Hippo Noto" notebook that, according to the USPS, should be delivered tomorrow. The notebook contains 500 pages of Tomoe paper from Japan (also known as "Tomoe River" paper, if I'm not mistaken), and my experience with such paper in notebooks created for the Traveler's Notebook has been nothing but awesome. The paper is really thin, but also super tolerant of fountain pen ink (it does not bleed).
Cheers...
