One of the things I hate most about work is that when I wake up I begin a countdown to when I can get back in bed.
I start the countdown to when I can be back home and sitting. Work is just a means to money so I can live. Occasionally it allows me to exercise the problem solving parts of my brain that I like, but more often it is just frustrating chaos that takes 8 hours of my day and a large % of my energy.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I woke up to find my face healing. It's not as sore anymore, and the left side has some smoothness back. The right side still feels a bit like a cheese grater went over it.
Yesterday work was INSANE, so I didn't get to make my plea to keep the mouse graphic on the cover. I did win the battle over "geekdom" and we're gonna figure out a new subtitle.
I think galleys are coming soon. I just got the copyedited version in email. Havent opened it yet. I really wish I could call in to work and deal with it today, but, you know, new job.
I went to Vroman's to sheepishly ask about doing a reading, which felt weird. The lady at the counter assured me that they love promoting local authors, and so I call the publicity folks and make the arrangements and not worry.
I really want to throw my book release party there. I'm unsure what to do for myself.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Pyramid collection is so hit and miss.

Ask the lady about that too.

Could you please yank it? You know how I am.
Let them all assume it's my superhero moniker or something.
