Cranky
I'm feeling rather punchy tonight. It's the kind of mood that makes one want to write in short brief one and two word sentences, like:
Cranky. Working again. Need sleep. More tomorrow.
Of course, I committed myself to writing every day for this blog in some manner or fashion—involving full sentences in essay or story format. That is what I must do.
The truth be told, once again, I could not put a book down until way, way past 2AM. Fool's Fate, the third book in that Robin Hobbs trilogy. That book I said I was not going to pick up until I finished another book. A friend hand delivered me the book on Friday, and on that day I said, “I'll read a few chapters then go back to the other book.” Now I'm almost done with it.
Of course, I scheduled my alarm to get me up at 7:00 AM so I could start my new/old job and be ready and able, bright-eyed and bushytailed, first thing in the morning. I'm writing copy for my old company of little 30 second messages for people to listen too while receptionists at various companies have them on hold. If you want to understand all that better, check out my employer's website: The Original On Hold Company.
It pays something just above slave labor. But I can do it, I'm good at it, and I can pound them out. I just have to figure out how in my ADD way I can devote the proper time to it here at home, undistracted by my normal daily distractions. I'll probably better be able to do that with a full night's rest.
But today, I'm cranky and cynical. Short. Snippy. Need sleep. More tomorrow.
