Weekend and Whatnot

I don't have any word metrics to offer this afternoon, mostly because I didn't write anything. Instead, I cleaned house a bit, took care of some outstanding interviews and emails, and lounged around with a headache due to lack of sleep for several nights in a row.

Mind you, I couldn't take a nap. The shouting construction workers with power tools and questionable music taste saw to that.*

Yesterday's supper meet-up ran late, yes; but I still could've gotten my reasonable allotment of slumber had not a pack of drunk hipsters camped soggily on our stoop – directly under our window – until the wee hours of the morning. I was ready to boil some oil and pop out the screens, I swear to God.

Really, I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever see eight hours again.

Or even six.

*sigh*

Anyway! On to a brighter subject.

At the risk of sounding like I'm gloating, in a couple of hours the husband and I are heading out to go do something awesome. So I'm going to log off and find something to wear, and then I will pretend like I have a couple of days to do some relaxing like an ordinary civilized person.

(Hint: I don't. I have a LOT of work to do. Some of which I should've done today. Ah, well.)

* They begin every morning at 7:00 a.m., and usually (though not always) wrap it up by 7:00 p.m. – at least six days a week, and often seven. It's been this way for weeks, and will likely continue for months. In other news, earplugs make my ears ache and I hate them.
