I’m finally starting to feel a little bit better. Well, it doesn’t matter, because I would have dragged myself out of bed and into the office today even if I had a fever of 102 like I did the first day. I could not spend another day in bed. I was going insane. It was horrible. So, yeah, I’m still pretty sick, I guess, but that didn’t stop me from having, like, an eight-hour day. I went to the pharmacy, then into the office for a bit, then back to the pharmacy, then to hang with friends, then to yummy Italian dinner with my friend Will (where I finally ate a real meal for the first time this week!) and now, at last, back home, where I will probably pass out promptly and then sleep for 15 hours. I hope.
Last night I went last night to one of Seattle’s “tweet-ups.” I know it sounds dorky, but it’s done by some of the people I met at the 140 Character Conference, and you guys know I’m actively trying to meet new people and do new things. I actually had an okay time, despite my traditional hatred of all things networking. I’m slowly getting involved in the tech scene out here, and the people so far have been very friendly and welcoming. I was still pretty sick last night, but I honestly would have rather been shivering and coughing in the corner of a bar, talking to drunk people, than shivering and coughing in my bed, stuck in my sick little brain.
I’m going to LA again on Sunday for work. Back Monday night. Long story. Will explain later, once I’m clear on how much of it I’m allowed to explain. But I think it’ll be a lot of fun, even though schlepping back and forth from LA is probably not the best thing for my health right now.
And how is my novel going, you ask? We’re almost at 5,000 words, beyotches. That’s 1/10th of the way through. Yes, I know, I’m still pretty far behind if I want to be on pace to make 50,000 words by the end of the month (I’m competing in NaNoWriMo, for those of you who don’t know), but I’m pretty damned proud of myself for sticking to it. I don’t have a plot yet, mind you, but we’re getting closer every day. I will write a novel, even if it sucks and I never let anyone see it!
