Quick rundown of how stuff is going:
- On the last chapter of CotH:
Both better and worse than I feel like it should be? The chapter has so far gone smoother than the last, and so it feels like progress has been better. Yet I also feel behind where I'd hoped to be. I'm *not* actually behind; the "deadline" is the end of the month, and I'm definitely on par for that. But I guess I just WISH I had more done
- On NaMoPaiMo:
Heh, still haven't started. ^^; I need to prime my model, and then figure out the exact design, and then actually... paint.
But yesterday morning I tripped in the bathroom and knocked Alex's NaMo project over, and it wound up with a huge gouge in it. (He's doing his in pastels rather than paint.) It was looking so good, and I feel just awful that I screwed it up. He did work on it a bit yesterday and has it looking almost back to how it was, but the spot that got gouged is still visible. Hopefully a couple more layers will fix it, but I really do feel awful.
(That may be part of my reluctance to even start.)
- On everything else:
I cracked my forehead against my desk yesterday and boy does it fucking hurt. It's swollen but at least doesn't look bruised. But it huuuuurts.
Still playing my Pokemans. I'm about to do the first challenge, and have caught everything available up until that point, so it's going well.
Looking forward to going over to Taylor's tomorrow!
Yesterday was my mom's last official day! I called to congratulate her today, her first day of actual retirement. But turns out she will be going back next week to help train the person they hired for her position... as a contractor, billing them at $40/hour. So... good for her! (And it sounds like the new owner might want to hire her in the future for things occasionally, at that rate, and even allowing her to work remotely when possible, so... win/win/win for her!!)
