Friday started out perfectly average and became a long slow spiral of despair. [personal profile] idriya informed me, early and rightly, that part of the arc of Chapter 1 was just not working and needed an overhaul, and I could totally have gotten the revisions done in time if my afternoon had not then been taken up with photos for an update of the website half of the school store, the complete dissolution of the day's newsletter, and my car needing a tow AGAIN. WHYYYYYYYY.

Ahem.

Cut for more griping, aka details. )

To make a long tl;dr short, I took the pictures, I got my car unstuck from the mud, and by the time I got what I needed from the person, it was already 8:00 pm and I had unilaterally decided not to send the newsletter out with only one thing in it. And I only cried a little. :P

But! I had a lovely weekend, I did my taxes and watched RED a second time and made a round of restructuring/rewriting edits that met [personal profile] idriya's approval, hence the posting yesterday. And today's going rather nicely so far, too.

Which, RED. )

And as long as I'm here, totally uninteresting blather about my hair. )

Also, it is April, which means Script Frenzy! Surprise, I am rewriting something: TLA, to be specific, because ow, and also, yay, an excuse to mentally recast it! Good times. :D And I have already started Chapter 2 - I have learned my lesson, I make no promises as to when it will be done, but at least I'm past that initial lump of beginning.

Okay, so this happens basically any time I do anything ever where other people can see it, but: I'll admit I was panicking a little over [community profile] help_japan ("oh god you are late you are LATE you have done ALL THE THINGS WRONG!" *SHAME SPIRAL*). But! I am now sharing the fourth page of comments with some lovely people, AND [personal profile] alexseanchai excellently and kindly matched the opening bid I set! ♥♥♥♥♥

Far more boringly, last night was the first night of my vague motions in the direction of a shampoo-free existence. Not because I am principled about cleaning myself with things whose ingredients I can't pronounce; rather, because I am cheap, and also hoping it will help my hair be less frizzy. Cut for dull. ) My hair seems perfectly fine today, but I have also been told that it may get unpleasant and dry for a week or two during the switchover. Adventure!

As far as fic goes, I am trapped in some brain doldrums right now because I am a little blocked on the second half of Book Two, but hopefully I will make some progress toward unraveling that plot knot today. **crosses fingers** I have also started outlining another installment of space!A:tLA, because I can't help myself. Oh, and, [personal profile] idriya's birthday present: ACHIEVED. \o/
