The day's starting out a little on the downside, here.

My weight's popped back up, and refuses to budge.

The weather is horrible (according to the radio, the hottest place in the country yesterday was Suffolk, less than fifty miles from here).

I spent five minutes this morning trying to re-tune my alarm clock's radio, only to discover the AM/FM switch had been flipped.

I forgot to bring a movie to work with me, and despite saying she was going to be available for 'round-the-clock Halling, it's worked out that K.T. and I have only been able to play for about two hours during each day, because Karen's supervisor apparently decided to give her the Schedule From Hell this week.

And last night, just at the climax of a fairly intense session, Karen lost power. So we're hoping to finish it this morning. (Which means I need to remember to call my dad to go walking as soon as I've had breakfast, so we're done before Karen logs in.)

Okay, granted, it sounds more like Karen's having a bad week, and I'm just having some hiccups. But still! It all fits together!

But I will not let it ruin my day. I won't.

I'm going to post this, and then go have my breakfast. I'll call Dad around 8:30 and we'll go walk.

I'll come back and we'll finish that session, and it'll be good. And when Karen goes to work, then either K.T. and I will find another session to do, or else I'll get some work done on Willow Bough. (It's going slowly, mostly because I'm bogged down in the two chapters that needed the most rewrites, and I'm feeling lazy.)

And tomorrow, I'm not going to work. That's something to look forward to, for sure. Elizabeth and I are going to pick up some veggies and fancy cheeses and go down to visit K.T. and watch movies and make up Elizabeth's 7th Sea character.

So there's that to look forward to.

Right. Getting on with the day, now.
