Well, my experiment yesterday with seeing how well I can do e-book formatting on this laptop went pretty well, to the point that I really got into it and lost track of time until well past the point where I would have needed to shift gears in order to get any decent writing done. This is why I don't normally do much of that kind of stuff on the same days where I do the bulk of my writing, but I hadn't been anticipating any kind of momentum.
So, the good news is that Omnibus II will now definitely be out before I move. If not before the end of this week, then likely next one.
Anyway, the little unplanned detour yesterday coupled with the fact that I'm going to have a lot of stuff to get done on Friday but will be free Saturday until the evening is why I've shifted my schedule for the week off by one.
(I'm sure if I don't explain, someone will ask why I don't just take the week off because of the weather and upheaval. The answer is: something like that is probably going to happen in September, possibly more than once. There is a lot of uncertainty in my life right now, but I actually have more control over my schedule and environment right now than I usually do, or will next month.)
I've been hopeful that this week will be the end of my stay here. Not because I'm not enjoying myself... the basement's well furnished, I have a lot of space to myself to work in and room to move around when I'm thinking, and it's nice to be spending so much time with my parents when I'm on the cusp of moving out of state for the first time. But... stuff needs doing.
And the outlook looks kind of mixed on that. The projected temperatures next week are for the low 90s/high 80s, which is slightly better. The overnight temperatures, which are kind of more crucial for my well-being because I can avoid the high temperatures during the day by staying indoors and downstairs, are dropping. Cool nights mean I can sleep.
But predicting temperatures out more than a week is always iffy. It seems like every day when I check the 10 day outlook, they're always predicting the biggest drop on the last day, which makes it seem a bit like optimism.
The State of the Me
Doing well.
Plans For Today
I've got a bit of literal housekeeping that needs doing in the basement kitchenette, but other than that, it's a focus-on-writing day.
