Daily Count

Well, I spent half the night up being sick, but still managed to get words in (despite a nap and a visit to Urgent Care and still not feeling well). Didn't really focus on anything, but finished a friend's birthday gift (which I started last year and ended up being 12 chapters), finished my grant proposal for college, did a version of the rare pair challenge, and also put a few hundred words on my current anthology story.

All told 1633 words for the day which brings me up to 9546 for the month.

Over to [livejournal.com profile] simplyn2deep for words tomorrow.

I'm sure I am because he'd already jokinly said "You wanna sub for all of January?" so my feeling was I don't want to kids to get discouraged, but yeah one day a week is good.

I mean the extra money is nice, but the extra time and everything... yeah. Ugh that would annoy me.

Oh geez. No, the kids are the important thing here, truly.

I agree. You need some downtime otherwise you'll burn yourself out.

They really are. I'm hoping my one kid will finish before I end up leaving because I think he'll get discouraged if I leave.

Downtime? What's downtime?

Hopefully he'll stick it out.

It's something I've only recently acquired now that my kids are adults. LOL

He's been pretty consistant since I told him, which he normally isn't.

Hahahah not sure what my excuse is then.

That's good to hear.

LOL - no clue! :D

It is good to see him working. Actually saw one of my former coworkers yesterday and told her about it. She might call.

Same!

[identity profile] shanachie-quill.livejournal.com 2022-03-24 11:39 am (UTC)(link)
Hahaha she called and has been working the opposite nights I do, but my boss still hasn't managed to commit. (Also I totally had to google the spelling of commit because it didn't look right to me.)

LOL - some words never look right!

They really do not... but anyway.

He still hasn't made a decision, but he's got about one more month before he has to.

[identity profile] asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com 2022-05-02 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Ugh, he'd better get on the ball soon!

So it ended up, our day school teacher decided to come in and work the night--or well most of the night so that was the decision made (I totally get it, the school is struggling so hiring someone new is kinda a non-starter). So we made the deal that I'd work one more week both days and then I'd be done.

And then I got COVID.

So at least I'm done...

[identity profile] asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com 2022-05-30 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh no, I'm sorry you got COVID. Hopefully you're feeling okay.

[identity profile] shanachie-quill.livejournal.com 2022-07-16 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Thankfully, I had a very mild case. And no one else in the house got it.

It really was.
