US Women’s gymnastics team just won gold in Rio, yo. And by a landslide. Wasn’t even CLOSE. Poor China was in line to snag the silver, but one of their girls messed up big time on the floor routine.
Yes. I did just write that sentence up there. I like gymnastics. Freaking sue me.
Tweaked a bit with the schedule today, but only very, very slightly, and BAM. I loved it. I think I could do this on the regular. Especially when the Olympics *aren’t* going on and my post-7/8pm time is truly all mine. Not that I’m complaining whatsoever. I friggin love the Olympics. Always have. At least since I was old enough to understand them. I think…Barcelona was my first one I remember? I was 10. I also remember Lillehammer in ’92. Not so much Seoul in ’88, I’m afraid. Did you know that ’92 Lillehammer was the first year that the Winter Olympics were moved to the opposite schedule of the Summer games? They used to be on the same year! How crazy! I like it better this way, I think. An Olympics every two years. Give each type it’s own hurrah and shebang.
Anywho…I friggin NAILED my work today. I got everything done I wanted to. Even the Flix work, which I was worried about because it’s a new project and when something is new, I have no idea really how long it’s going to take me. Well…it was very reasonable, and I finished *just* in time and on schedule. Which is huge. It means I can stick to this schedule for at least the next couple weeks and be okay. I’ll get all the work done I need to.
Anywho, it’s already almost 12:30, a function of watching the Olympics, I’m afraid, since they run up to midnight. So, time for the sleeps.
Oh, I had a great writing session today. Filled out all 69 minutes of it and finished the character post-its. I thought that I’d have finished them earlier and started on the setting phase, but there were a bunch of ideas I had upon reviewing all my notes one last time, and so I went back and filled that all in. It was a great writing sesh.
Sleep times. Night.
