Monday 13th

[wiseheart]

Not as bad as Friday 13th, obviously, but not an easy day nonetheless. The morning was occupied by the chiropodist lady (you know, the one who talks a lot and is unable to talk and work at the same time), so when she finally left, we both had heads as hot air balloons. A good thing that I had cooked in advance.

While the lady was working on Mum, I started working on the Hello Kitty booklets. My original idea of using paper applications instead of drawing the furniture free hand (I suck at drawing) turned out more work-intensive than originally thought. I've made the "wallpapers" and the "flooring" in all four rooms for one booklet, as well as the window and the curtain in one living room, but that was all how far I got. Meaning that doing the same thing four more times, plus furnishing all rooms will take, well, forever, since we are talking about 12cm by 12 cm surfaces here. The end of June deadline suddenly appears way too close... especially as I still have to do the embellishments for the baby books by the end of April. Argh!!!

Still, I squeezed in a bit of writing in the morning, finishing the space battle scene, which is a relief. I might complete this entire chapter during picowrimo session. *fingers crossed*

In any case, I decided to take a nap in the afternoon, having slept less than 6 hours last night (noadvertising, I can relate to your zombie state). About 20 minutes into my wonderful nap, one of Mum's lady friends found it necessary to call us, tearing me out of my sleep, which I couldn't continue afterwards. Being royally pissed always wakes me up. So, now I'm tired and pissed off, and tomorrow will be another early rise (in my terms anyway) because we have practically no bread in the house, and there's no way I'll start making Hefezopf tomorrow. Nope, not happening.

Not cool you couldn't have your nap.

I desperately needed a bit of sleep, so yeah, I was very pissed.

You did need that sleep :( I hope groceries run tomorrow will be painless and fast, at least.

Alas, I'll have to go to the bank as well. I just hope their system will be working for a change.

[artemis10002000]

Here's to hoping!

It sounds like it'll be a neat book when you're done with it. Even if it takes forever. :)

Ugh, it’s horrible to be short of sleep. Hope you can catch up on some zzzs.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

That would help indeed. The sad truth is, I haven't had enough sleep since Mum's accident more than two years ago, though, and sometimes it catches up with me.

Oh dear. :D Sometimes life just throws one of those days at you. I suppose the good news about drawing and cutting furniture is that once you have one, you can just draw around it for the others. It's still a lot of work, though. If I'm trying to draw things with straight lines I often resort to graph paper.

Irregularly curled lines are even worse. Today, I've produced five (!) sofas for the kitty. Ugh!

Oh yeah, I'm so ticked off when someone calls early and interrupts my sleep. Chris doesn't hear the phone upstairs in his bedroom, so I'm always the one. You have my sympathies!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I so wish for just one day when I could sleep as long as I wish.

[beauty-forashes.livejournal.com]

Can you mute the phone or unplug it?

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Not the landline, no.

[beauty-forashes.livejournal.com]

Ah shoot. Ours has a plug I can pull when I want my peace and quiet.

I am a peace-loving person, but woe betide the one who interrupts my after-lunch nap! Alas, one cannot verbally fight a phone, and doing harm to it won´t remedy the situation!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Sadly, that is true.

I usually have good luck on Friday the 13th!
