So, the bad: Something is quite terribly wrong with just about everything in my midsection. ( Icky health TMI crap )
---
Complicating matters is that I have to work tomorrow (stupid awards show) and M's going to San Jose at the asscrack of dawn Monday, so I have to figure out how to get to work on my own then, too. Tomorrow's going to be especially exciting because they're tearing down bits of the freeway I use to get there, and the whole thing is closed this weekend. I know how to get there w/o the freeway, but the traffic's going to be horrid.
---
There is good, however! The UK/Eire trip is fully booked (though after today's events, I'm wondering if we should reconsider going through NI) and I'm very much looking forward to that (assuming I'm at least somewhat more healthy by then.) The sad bit of it is that I won't be able to see the new series of Primeval while we're there, because it's airing on a pay channel that most hotels don't get. Bummer.
---
Also of the good: The novel is finished, and has had two healthy editing passes and a good once-over (with helpful feedback) from M. It's in good enough shape now that I've taken the leap and sent off a query to an agent. The agent in question is probably the best I've seen for the kind of thing I've done, so I hope she likes it. Crossing my fingers.
If anyone else wants to have a look at it, I'd be happy to have some more beta readers.
---
Overall, it's been a good couple of weeks. If the stupid health stuff would just go away, I'd be sunshine and roses. Hmph.
