Actually, it’s more like stupid internet connection.

It’s the internet connection that wasn’t. For the last few days I’ve been able to visit one page before it dies and even that is SUPER slow.

This morning got up early to shower just in case they shut off the water again. I can deal with them turning off the hot water, but sometime yesterday afternoon, and into the early evening they shut off the cold water too. I REALLY can’t handle having no water at all. It really emphasizes how often I actually wash my hands when I can’t do it.

But, in my unwashed, no internet and cranky state yesterday, I managed twelve pages of a new story. And they’re twelve pages of doing no research. Since he’s a parachute jumper (see I don’t even know what to call him) I have a lot of, he pulled the thing that did the other thing.

I realized I was kind of freaking about nothing. The Amber Heat thing only has to be 5,000-12,000 words and I think the VP project was 25,000-40,000 (I think) which even if I wrote max on both only leaves me 2,000 words above NaNo pace and I’ve got 2 months to work.

Granted, I’ve got to write and edit, but with projects that short I shouldn’t have to edit THAT much - (and that could have just been the kiss of death for me. I’m knocking on wood now).
