well, last night i made up yet another submission package for the binded. i'll be sending it out once i get my act together and head out today. i'm really hoping on this one. it's a canadian publishing house that specializes in science fiction and fantasy. *fingers crossed*

i was glad to see that they only wanted the first 3 chapters, so that gives me more time to edit and get other people to read the rest. i have made some changes though - mostly to address problems brought up by others.

there are some things that i deleted altogether. i'd put them in a long time ago, and thought they'd be relevant but now that i'm pretty much done writing this thing (and at least all the planning is done) i can see that they're not relevant anymore. so i got rid of them.

if any of my readers would like details on the changes i've made, just drop me a note.

anyway, things have been pretty slow. just work and writing. i have been catching up on sleep a little bit. i don't feel quite so run down all the time now. unfortunately, i won't get a lot of opportunities to sleep in any time soon.

i'd wanted to sleep in today, but i've got to head to petcetera mainly to make an apointment to get pumpkin groomed. i've also got to mail that package. then it's off to the senior's centre, followed immediately by work. boo!

tomorrow and friday i work in the morning, and i've got crap planned for saturday morning too. mike's birthday is on monday, so we're doing a lot of birthday stuff this weekend. on saturday night we're going to the mandarin for dinner. on sunday we're going to hamilton to have dinner with his family, but that won't be until the afternoon so maybe i'll get to sleep in on sunday...

i'm really starting to feel that one day weekend i had. oi. i hope that damn woman is feeling better cuz there's no way i'm taking any extra shifts. i still haven't got back to my computer course yet to take those damn tests for excel. grr. i just feel like i'm running in circles all the time.

i really hope it's a slow day at work again. that helps a bit. but i guess i should get going and get things done.

daily dose of stupid:
the philosopher's prize for taking life philosophically
while shopping in a jewelry store, philosophy professor mortimer adler was asked by the store owner, "what do you do, mr. adler?"
"i'm a philosopher," adler replied.
"no," the jeweler corrected him, "i meant, what do you do for a living?"

(ahaha! i love this one! tee hee)
