I went to bed at a reasonable time by the clock last night. Unfortunately, I woke up by what time my body still thought it was, on Daylight Time, so I am short between an hour and an hour and a half of sleep.
And then, on the way in to work, I encountered mixed precipitation: sleet, rain, and snow. All of it light, but I was not pleased. On the other hand, it's my birthday in two days and we haven't had a frost yet. Sleet, yes. Freezing temperatures, no. I'm hoping for sunny and a high around 12 C/55 F for Wednesday.
I have finally gotten to go back to working on one of the books from our normal schedule. Which left me looking at a file last touched on 27 September and wondering, literally, "What was I thinking?" I'd forgotten to include identifying information, and couldn't find the material I wanted to use (by hand or with Google desktop), so I had to come up with a different approach. Ah, well. With a bit of luck, this will go out on time, or at worst a day late, not two weeks late. This is at the cost of pushing back editing on another book, but production is backlogged, and our writers may have other things on their schedules, so my boss agrees that this is the right way to do it. I don't think decisions on the schedule beyond that have been made yet; I have plenty of work to do, though.
