I stuck around till about ten minutes until 8, and then took off back to the TWP.  They called me later (while I was sleeping &#8211; which resulted in me not sleeping, but hey, at least they tried to contact me) and left me some voice mails, which I checked this morning.  It ended up in me not having to worry about it.  While the 20 minute commute would have been nice for a few days, I would have spent on food what I saved on gas.  So, *SHRUG*, no big deal.<\/p>\n<p>On the way back to the TWP, I had the most odd&#8230; thing&#8230; happen to me.  I was suddenly frustrated, extremely sad, like someone was taking my heart and crushing it.  I hadn&#8217;t felt the desire to actually cry in months, and it was almost suffocating while I was driving.  <lj user=\"benniferus\"> is fine, my family is fine, and I&#8217;ve heard no reports of any tradgedies (well, any new ones) since yesterday.  I worry about it, but it&#8217;s a background process.<\/lj><\/p>\n<p>So, since the book I was obsessing over (limited edition, numbered hardback edition, thank you <lj user=\"benniferus\">) is finished, I might actually *gasp* start Chapter 8.  And no, since I was feeling so absolutely shitty yesterday, I went right to bed when I got home.  I should really learn not to promise specific deadlines for typing things up.  ;)<\/lj><\/p>\n<p>Also, as a side note, I haven&#8217;t finished any but one snail mail letter.  I need to snag more envelopes from Dad and print out more return address labels.  I&#8217;ll still write, but they won&#8217;t go out till tomorrow at the earliest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just finished Adventures in the Dream Trade, which is a book by Neil Gaiman about all sorts of random stuff.
