- I got my edits back from my publisher, and since my contract says I
only get ten days to address the edits, I thought it was best to jump
right in! I completed the edits on Thursday.
- I rewrote an article about asexuality,
making it longer because the editor requested that I do so. It ended up about 2500 words (more than
twice the original length), and it was accepted. Yay, it will be
published, though I don't know when.
- It was
Administrative Professionals' Week, so my boss got me a nice card and
everyone at the office signed it. And I got a gift card too. Awww!
- I
helped my mom with moving some things in her house, which was hard work
but also fun. I made a disastrous batch of couscous to eat at her house
and I hope she doesn't hate couscous now because of me.
- I
got all the stuff together for my sister Lindsay's bridal shower gifts. It was a
lot of fun collecting the stuff for it--I'll have to write about it next
week when I have pictures from the event!
- I had to work
extra hours at the day job this week because of proposals all due at
the same time. Normally I am asked to limit my hours to 28 a week, but
this week I worked 38 and a half. Coming in in the morning is tiring and
I didn't get much sleep!
- I finally put my entire to-read list on my Goodreads author account, though I'm nowhere near done adding my reviews to it. You should follow me.
- Ate at Red Elephant with Jeaux on Wednesday, and we watched two episodes of Orphan Black.
- Met an online friend, Jimmy, to whom I've been talking for about a year. We finally met up and had Chili's food and talked about everything. I also got to spend gift certificates at Barnes & Noble--bought three new books!
