Bit of Ivory

And the really bad thing about this fact is that I have another exhausting week ahead of me. Ah, the joys of working retail in the Christmas season. I worked every day last week, and will repeat the processes this week, except that I do get Thanksgiving off. But then the day after Thanksgiving starts bright and early as the mall opens at 8. Oh, well. My paychecks will be lovely and big.

My back hurts, too. I’ve been trying to take it easy yesterday and this morning, but it still hurts. I hope I don’t throw it all the way out. I’ll have to be careful lifting BOOX today.

The Suncoast store just down the mall has little standees for the Pirates DVD out. I wanted to swipe the Orlando one.

Speaking of Orlando, I’ve been doing my best to overdose on him this weekend. I don’t think it’s possible, but it’s sure been fun trying. I saw Pirates again on Friday night, and have been watching the TTT:EE at every available opportunity. I’ve got the cast commentary going now. I have to go to work at noon, so I’m laying on a heating pad and enjoying Tolkien until I go back to the drudgery.

I did manage to dredge up the energy to go dancing on Saturday night. It was incredibly fun. Did a bit of triple swing, a bit of cha cha, learned a bit of Lindy. I need to go dancing more often. But I need a guy who knows how to dance. *sigh*

I managed to get Retrospection 7 and Ancient Prophecy 16 beta-read last night. I’m now only a little bit behind where I want to be. My plot bunnies are still hopping around madly, but I just don’t have time right now to sit down and write. It’s infuriating.

*sigh* Must go get ready for WUX.
