Brief update.

This week I have written 750 more vaguely-chronological words on The Hellion Prince, and hope to get some editing done on the remainder of Chapter Four.  I have begun unpacking from the move to the Really Nice, Unbelievably Inexpensive apartment.  I have started in on a pharmaceutical study that will give me the dough for three months' worth of bills... unfortunately, those months are last month, this month, and next month, and I won't get the money until next month, and am looking at a $5-600 shortage as a result.  Solvable, I think, but I have no solution yet.  I have decided to sell my old couch (we picked up an amazing, huge, free couch while moving) for $60; anyone who wants a couch is welcome to try and talk me down.  I have giggled at my drugged cat as he recovered from being neutered, and been relieved when he still trusted me and wanted to snuggle, and relieved again when, after a couple lethargic days, he went back to knocking over lamps and gnawing on my arm; things I discourage him from doing.  I have cancelled my WoW and Netflix for the time being, money being what it is, and developed an addiction to Echo Bazaar, which is free.

I have enjoyed my life, and I have lost sleep due to stress.
