Okay, this may be something more than a cold. I've been out of commission since Monday. The only reason that I'm somewhat coherent and not writhing in pain from a seemingly unending headache is because I'm a bit doped up on Benedryl and ibuprofen that finally kicked in an hour ago. Am definitely not forgetting them tomorrow like I did today. I'll try to keep this short since I am so incredibly doped up and TIRED.
vaw MC60Okay, so writing "news" for today. I was unfortunately reminded that the calls for those who finalled in the Golden Heart. For those who don't know what that is, this is the contest for the unpublished sponsored by RWA. It's one of those things where you really don't expect to final because so many people enter, but you really, really, REALLY hope that you do. If for no other reason than to wear a pretty ribbon at the National Conference and hear your name announced in the list of finalists.
Next week is Spring Break and I've got the week off. I'm very glad that I'll be at my parents because I think, no, I know that I'd be sitting by the phone all day, doing nothing and feel really let down when I don't get a call. I've done so well these last couple of months not thinking about the calls, but since they are so close, the e-mail lists that I'm on are all talking about them now. Ah, the pressure, the tension, the insanity! Okay, for the sake of argument, everyone please cross your fingers for me. That I get a call (if not for the GH, for a job interview at least) next week. And that I can kick this cold, or whatever the hell it is, out the door and write!
