I hate nights like this, but I love nights like this.

Get home late, thought that’s because I stayed at work late talking to my boss. Cool guy. I scheduled to take him out to lunch on Friday, so I can get to know him better.

Anyvay. Got home late. I needed to do some laundry, and sweep the downstairs. And with the Pumpkin Carving Party coming up in two days, I needed to make Brain Jell-O, and while I was at it, I might as well hard-cook some eggs for some protein in the mornings. And I need to draw character designs for my upcoming comic. And call back an Otherspace employee. And get some groceries, and fill up the truck with gas.

So. Put clothes in the washing machine. Mix up and pour Jell-O. Hard-cook eggs. Put laundry in dryer. Go out, get gas, and buy necessary groceries. Sweep downstairs. Call back Otherspace employee. Two hours have elapsed, and I’ve done most of the things on my list.

I hate nights where I’m going like a whirlwind, but it does give me a wonderful sense of accomplishment. And I do usually accomplish an astonishing number of things.

Tomorrow night should be busy, too; my Mom’s coming over to fix up my curtains and cushions, after she made me some which don’t fit at all in any way. Very nice of her to do this, though. While she’s here, I’ll be making devilled eggs and cupcakes. And, hopefully, squeezing in some writing and drawing so I can post another bit of the VR story on Friday, and finish up these character designs by Monday.

I hate nights like this, but I love nights like this.
