I just got home. I don’t normally go into the office these days, because there isn’t much point. Today, my boss was in, and a new developer started today. If I didn’t go in today, I might have missed out on a free lunch!

Personal News

For those following the tragedy that is a tiny black cat in heat, I have important news: she’s settled down. She didn’t yowl throughout the night. She is behaving like a regular cat once again. We can all rejoice!

I still had to get up much earlier than normal in order to make it into the office on time. And, I have to get up relatively early tomorrow to do the same. It’s okay, though. Thursday, our flight isn’t until around 10AM, so we can sleep in. Our departure can be leisurely and carefree. It’s almost like we’re taking vacation.

Upcoming Events and Such

I check in for our flight tomorrow, and we flight the next day. I checked the weather, and it doesn’t look as bad as I thought. There will be freezing weather and precipitation, and it’s altogether much colder than I like, but I don’t see anything to make me think our flights should get canceled.

I’ll wear sweaters and jackets and be just fine.

The Topic: Maybe One for the Road?

While One for the Road will definitely be available online on Friday, it looks like the physical copies I was hoping for aren’t going to be printed and shipped on time.

This is a huge bummer, but it’s not the end of the world. There’s still one more surprise surrounding this story, and it may or may not be revealed on Friday.

It’s possible that this is a blessing in disguise, as my campaign for promoting the story — talking about it on this blog — may not be the highway to success. I’m not sure what else I can do, though. I’m not posting to Twitter. I’ll post more to Facebook once I have links for purchasing the story. I can spread the news around my day job, but the reality is I just don’t have that much reach.

I don’t exactly have a fanbase.

Well. Maybe if I keep writing and keep trying, something will happen. What else can a person like me do?
