outsdrI forgot to bring eyedrops with me tonight. That's gonna suck.
So, I made it through the night on nothing but water, a stick of gum, a single breath mint. Fun. We got out blood drawn this morning ($95 each for the standard chem screening) and then went and had a large breakfast. I finally got to bed at 10 am. I sort of slept until 3:30, when all that water I'd drank decided it wanted out NOW.
So, back at work again tonight. I should be searching through my font books for the perfect font for the cover of Bonnie & Clyde ... because it's changed again. Now, I'm working directly with the publisher, who just wants to get this damn book done and out as much as I do. I adore Gilmore, but he's giving me gray hair. When the book is finally published (because only once it is in physical form will I believe that the cover will have no more revisions) I'll make a post showing all the major changes I've made to the dam cover since I started working on it in 2007? 2006 maybe? A long time ago.
But instead, I'm doing anything but. Including reading this fascinating story about copyright infringement by a lawyer, who appears ot be mentally ill/batshit bonkers.
I've been playing a lot of Diablo 3, too, but I think I'll be slacking away from it fairly soon. It doesn't hold me like Diablo 2 did.
Also, I'm trying an experiment this month- for years I've been saying that I'm going to get my budget and my finances in order; and for years, it hasn't happened for various reasons. So, for the month of June, I'm going to try to not spend any extra money. I'll pay for my normal expenses (the things I NEED) and not spend money on anything else (the things I WANT.)
Wish me luck.
