So, I'm supposed to be announcing the e-book link for Tales of MU 1-1 today, but I'm only halfway done with the commentaries... it turns out that I don't know the early material as well as I thought I did (this is a good thing to find out, and a good thing to rectify) and the work of remembering back and figuring out what to say about the chapters is more intensive than I'd imagined.
I got through half of them in a week, though, so I'm confident in saying that this is the final delay. My office manager is screaming about it, but she's just a voice in my head so I'm not the least bit worried... actually, a screaming voice in my head is a bit worrying, isn't it? But this is a new working relationship and we're still learning each other's ins and outs. Today she learns to double my estimates for how long it will take me to do things.
At the pace I've been going and with a little slack built in, I can have the book done by Friday.
The State of the Me
Delayed sleep, but not bad sleep. Ending my melatonin use has severely impacted my ability to fall asleep on my own schedule, but it has not done nearly as much damage to the quantity or quality o my sleep. The valerian does a good job there.
I've been taking the 5-HTP for almost a week... it will be a week tomorrow. No untoward side effects and some provisionally positive signs. I'm going to increase the dose today rather than waiting a full week - it'll be easier to keep track of future dosage changes if I do them on Monday.
Plans For Today
Continue on with the commentary, work on the next chapter of MU.
