News For Today
No new news, but the run-off for the Rose And Bay fiction award continues and so, for three more days, does the pre-sale for The Gift of the Bad Guy.
Personal Assessment
Slept better last night. Not great. Not awesome. Better. I believe I've worked out why I'm not sleeping so well all of a sudden: it's not getting nearly as cold on the overnights as it had been, which means my pile of blankets is uncomfortably hot. I did okay last night by splitting the difference and only using half of them.
I suppose this tells me I'll need to get a weighted blanket sooner than I'd expected... my half-formed plan had always been to get one in the summer, but there are rather a lot of months between now and then that aren't exactly going to be pleasant to get 20+* pounds of blankets the old-fashioned way.
The * is there because, while I estimate my current pile as being about 20 pounds based on the weights of similar blankets I could find listed online, more than one of the sites that I looked at mentioned that people who order a weighted blanket often end up trading up for a heavier one, and they offer a formula based on body mass that would be closer to 25 pounds.
This sort of thing looks to be like a two, three hundred dollar investment, which gives me pause... while that's less money I'll have available for WisCon and for funding other projects, it's not like I can say I can't afford it, and what price would you put on a good night's sleep?
Dreams From Last Night
Had to do with making it through some sort of combination of border crossing and TSA checkpoint.
Plans For Today
Write/finish the next chapter of Tales of MU.
