Portrait Of The Artist As Overscheduled Lass

So far today I've written 1600 words, and mostly connected the narrative to the Next Big Thing. Now I have to figure out the next Next Big Thing and get there. Somewhere in between all of the following:

• Climbing tonight and at least one other night in the next week, so as not to be a large and moving Torb at WFC, or in general


• One (1) signing tomorrow night


• Three (3) concerts over the next week (KMFDM, the Pogues, and a local band I like)


• One (1) dentist appointment


• One (1) hair appointment


• One or more shopping expeditions so as not to look like a bum at WFC (when I'm not wearing my new jacket, that is)


• One or more shopping expeditions so as not to look like a bum on Halloween


• Sixty-four (64) hours of work between now and next Wednesday


• One (1) World Fantasy Convention

You will note that cleaning the house appears nowhere on this list. That is not because it's already clean, I assure you.

I'll be keening and rocking in the corner if you need me.

Girl vs. Wall

A good bouldering night. Five sends, and two others where I either got one move from the finish or finished with cheating. The last cheat was a V1 with a tricksy high step, so I'm still pretty happy about it. It was also good for endurance, since I made it past the point where my hands usually start to hurt badly (skin pain, for which there is no cure) and found the endorphins on the other side.
