I was late to work for the first time ever. 3-4 months of near-perfect timeliness isn't bad when most newbs quit after their first day, but I'm still a bit upset.

The words do not wish to flow today. This annoys me.

That leads to what we in the business call 'stilted writing', and that's bad. I'll probably go cry myself to sleep instead.

Really, it's better to have some stilted writing then having nothing at all. You lose the flow that way. When in doubt, just write. You can fix it later when the words are flowing.

I thought the first draft was meant to be garbage to begin with - the rest of the process is extracting the story after that.

At my sister's house minding her dog, and I feel ridiculously tired.
But I can't take a nap, because I'm trying to get my sleeping patterns regular again. I'd planned on posting in various games and RTDs whilst I was here, but I don't think I'm feeling up to it. I'd walk the dog down the street and buy a coffee/energy drink, but it would probably poop on the footpath and I am not in the mood for that sort of shit(pun intended).

Every time, seriously, every time I think 'NOBODY UNDERSTANDS WHAT IM GOING THROUGH BOO HOO' I dash over to the sad thread to find 20 people going through the same thing as me and then like 15 others who have it even worse.
It without fail ends with me wanting to hug every one who's ever posted in this thread.

Even you two, typo and LSP, you no-grammar bastards.
You guys are all so awesome.

I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

The first draft is a large pile of manure with occasional gems. Very, very rough gems. So rough they are basically carbon.

With some pressure and time, they become diamonds though.

I watched Jerry. I don't know. It's one of those things where it stopped what I was doing and I had to sit down and be quiet for a while.

I miss night shifts. I think I'm going to have to start eating breakfast, and prior to 10:00 AM is a terrible time to be awake.

[KingofstarrySkies]

I know how you feel. I started waking up at six again. I just...Sit there. Thinking, 'What the fuck do I do now?'

Precisely, and that is the joy of writing: it's not set in stone, at least until you publish it.

Personally, I love waking up early after a good sleep and actually seeing the morning without having been awake all night playing videogames.

Related sad: getting a cold again and tonight it's kept me awake. Fucking winter. At this point I think I might as well give up and go make some toast, then nap later on at my sister's place.

Woke up today at 7 am with horrible sharp pain in my leg.  I work nights so that pretty much equates to 12AM to normal people.
Try to sleep it off thinking it must be a charlie horse.  2 hours late it's still there and can't sleep, so I come to the conclusion that it is not a charlie horse and do the sensible thing and go drive to see a doctor.
Good news it's not life threatening, bad news, work insurance doesn't kick in for 3 more days. I have an odd condition where sore spots will come and go under my skin.  Seems 2 of those decided to pop up in just the right place to pinch a nerve.  Doctor wants to run a few more tests to be sure, but kindly offers to wait until my insurance kicks in since while painful, signs point to it not being serious.  I'm prescribed some painkillers and anti-swelling stuff for the time being.

I go to wal mart to pick up the drugs, good news, they only cost 8 bucks, bad news, on my way out my car won't start.  Boo.
Fortunately the wal mart is only about a mile from home and I walk home.  And fortunately family can take care of my car and get it home, since it appears the battery is just dead somehow.  Unfortunately it seems my leg has decided to protest at the long walk and is stabbing my nerve even harder, despite a dosage of prescription painkillers that seem to be trying to knock me out cold as I write this.  I basically can not walk. My workday starts in 2 and a half hours.  It is the second to last day of training.  I can not miss today for any reason.

Not sure what emotion it is, too tired for angry, sad seems a good fit.

Yeesh. Good luck, Greiger.

In my own sads, my head is threatening to float off my body and it won't stop. At least I'll never have to do drugs.
