Argh!

How did it get to be Thursday already?

Since Sunday, I've been meaning to post a quick moment-in-the-life, and the week seems to just be flying by. But perhaps the snippet will explain why:

It's Sunday. Bug is not particularly interested in napping, and is rejecting my attempts to get her to sleep. She's acting tired when she's not in her room, but as soon as I leave her for nap time, she's wide awake and would rather be playing. We try this process several times, and I believe she does get a short nap or two over the course of the day, but nothing like her regular schedule.

I offer her an option: she can do my copyediting, and I'll take her nap.

She seems keen on the idea, but Twostripe thinks my editors might not like Bug's idea of copyediting.

I did finish up the copyediting (despite Comcast's attempt to make me miss my deadline, but since they did it to everyone on the East Coast, I suppose I can't be too personally affronted). This week we've launched into the final edits on the autobiographical essay project for this batch -- which means xml coding and making sure all the italics get coded in the right places and such. This has been a great bunch of authors to work with (including [livejournal.com profile] jeff_duntemann, much to my delight!), and I think my editor will be really pleased with the essays.

And despite the user icon, I'm getting a ton of work done. But I do feel a bit Munch. :)
