Quick Editing Update

I want to go on the record and say that I opened this page at 8:45, thinking that I would be done a little after nine and then I could get on with my day. Then I made the mistake of checking my email and seeing that there's a Doctor Who sale on ThinkGeek, and that's where I've spent the last forty-five minutes. I'm not even sorry about that.

My steadily worsening obsession with Doctor Who aside, what have I been up to this week?

Do you want me to say that I'm almost done editing? Well, I'm not. Not even close. But I am chugging along. I've been doing pretty well, actually, considering that halfway during the week, I realized how much I hate editing on the computer. First, there's the glare that comes off the screen that dries out my eyes after no more than an hour. Someone online suggested changing the background color to a mint green, and that seems to work pretty well, because I can read for days before getting tired, but it's still not what I'm used to, I guess. I feel like I'm skipping so much or only reading a little bit of the whole. I don't know what it is about reading on the computer, but my eyes tend to wander more easily than on a paper page. Still, I'm pushing through and reading as much as I can before I feel like I've messed up greatly. It's slow going, but it's something, right?

How's promoting going, you ask? My goodness, you ask a lot of questions! You know, it's...going. Yes, that does mean that I've done nothing for it this week. This week has been a bit of a mess since I've been trying a whole new schedule. About a month ago, I did something to my ankle. I can't even say twisted it, because I have no idea what I did. But it hurts. The treadmill for thirty minutes has helped greatly, and then I had the crazy idea to use the chest press machine in my apartment's gym. Now, not only do my legs feel like jelly most days, my arms and shoulders are killing me because I don't work out. I just don't. And instead of easing myself back into working out, I went all out this week. Because I'm brilliant like that.

But now that I've spilled my guts, I suppose I should get back to editing. Since I wasted most of my morning away with Doctor Who junk, I need to actually work to make up for that time lost. Thank goodness it's only the beginning of May.

But maybe one more peek at ThinkGeek won't hurt...
