Food and firsts
I woke up at midnight because my shoulder ached too much for me to keep sleeping. Took Advil, went back to sleep. At that point, I could tell I was hungry, but I was too tired to go downstairs and get something to eat. I woke up again at 5:15 and decided that getting up for the last chocolate bun was a better idea than gnawing
markgritter's arm off, in the long-term. Now I'm eating yogurt with Grape Nuts in it for a snack, because 10:30 is too early to eat lunch if I'm going to make it through to 6:00-or-after dinner, and I am so hungry.
Every once in awhile I have a day like this, and it just highlights how little I actually enjoy eating. Cooking, sure, definitely. Smelling, yes. Eating, not so much.
In other not-yet-quite-news, I really like working with smart editors who have smart editing suggestions for my fiction. Sometimes I sell stories and they appear more or less as is, and that's fine, but before I started selling stuff, I expected that editors would have a knack for things I had missed. And then some of them do, and it's good. A relief.
songwind did a "first things" meme last week, so I'm going to poke that in between bits of short story revision: ( Collapse )
Well, crud. I've finished my yogurt, my meme, and most of my revisions, and I am still hungry. I suppose there's something to do about that, and while "ignore it and hope it goes away" is my first impulse, I doubt that it's the healthiest, or even the most conducive to the last of these revisions. Sigh.
