woe, woe is the proof pages…

Not really. The proof pages are okay. It’s just I didn’t get a chance to mess with them yesterday between everything, before I fell into bed in a dead faint.

I’ve got to find something to snack on a little bit before bedtime so I’m not waking up hungry at 5AM. Because that’s not pleasant–I can rarely get back to sleep when I do that. And 5AM is not a time for me to be up and about if one expects me to be a reasonable human being for the rest of the day.

So, off I go to finish the proof today. I swear to God I’m going to wrestle it to the ground. Then there’s that short story, and another book’s revisions due…

A busy Lili is a happy Lili.

To answer a couple of yesterday’s questions: yeah, I’m going to up the intensity of the running by upping the speed and the incline. (Not for a couple weeks, though, and in very small increments.) And you can find shovelgloving here. I did get seven-eighths of the laundry done, but there’s another four loads this morning, courtesy of cleanup and the shopping for new rags for the kiddles yesterday. They grow so fast.

All right. Off I go. I’m going to suck down some coffee and knock off another hundred pages today, or else.

    A happy and productive Lili means more Lili-books.

    Protein before bed. Takes longer to digest, so your stomach can keep itself busy while you sleep.

    Now I have to try shovelgloving. (For some reason, based on the name alone, I had the impression it was like curling all this time…) I happen to have a sledgehammer, I need some upper body work, and 14 minutes max isn’t an insane commitment.

    Okay. I have one toddler. One small, lovable, adorable, needs-mommy-all-the-time baby girl. There are days I can barely get food for myself much less chores done. Getting myself to rehearsals and workouts once or twice a week is like peeling skin off my chest.

    I am amazed at the sheer number of books you have written with multiple children. One hundred pages!? You have my undying respect.
