What I Accomplished in the Narrative Today: Finish typing Chapter Twenty-Nine.
Fave line: "The Riddler does dress like the Lucky Charms leprechaun."
What Else I Accomplished Today: XMarks did not go cuckoo today. The reason it isn't is because the extension keeps uninstalling itself from work Firefox.



At this point, I'm just not saving any bookmarks at work anymore. If I like the webpage and/or need it, I'll save it to the flash drive and bring it home.
What I'm looking forward to: Agents of SHIELD, baby.
What I'm not looking forward to: Feeling like there has been no progress on sewing. No panic center of the brain, we cannot take a week off of work to work on it. In addition to my sinus going haywire, my right heel feels like I slammed it down on something and I don't remember doing that. I hope it isn't the plantar fasciitis acting up again.

What I Accomplished in the Narrative Today: I would have typed more, but I had a brain wave about how to fit Man of Steel into the Signs and Portents series finally. So I ended up spending most of the morning on writing that down instead.
Fave line: "It was a surprise to me too."

What I Accomplished in the Narrative Today: I finally finished Chapter Twenty-Eight. I don't even want to think about how Chapter Twenty-Nine is barely started.
Fave line: "Right now I want to hold all my girls."
What Else I Accomplished Today: XMarks did not go cuckoo today. Saturday: Mom asked me to test her old washing machine that has been sitting next to mine on my back porch for months. So I hook it up only for my outlet to spark when I plugged it in. Turns out my outlet broke. By the time we got a new outlet inside the box, it was four hours after I had gone out to start laundry. Sunday: I'm still working on laundry and cooking meals for the week, which got interrupted by eating out with the parents. At this point, I don't know if I'll get any sewing done at all.
What I'm looking forward to: Getting the house out of its clutter stage one state. And finishing the corset.
What I'm not looking forward to: My weekend week plans:

• Add in new 15 minute yoga routine.
• Scour the computer for stuff I'm not using, delete what I don't need, archive what I want to save, and backup.
• Clean out the mass of bookmarks.
• Set up Dropbox account to sync bookmarks.
• Sew my corset.
• Regularly schedule chores.

What I Accomplished in the Narrative Today: Still working on Chapter Twenty-Eight. I thought I'd at least finish typing it tonight but no. See below.
Fave line: "You can't beat up bad guys; I can't beat up bad guys. Who are you counting on, Alfred?"
What Else I Accomplished Today: XMarks did not go cuckoo today. Wow, I really expected to finish typing the chapter tonight, but around eight o'clock while I was eating supper and playing a computer game. I heard squealing tires and a whump. It wasn't a tree crash and it's sad to know the difference just by sound alone. I went out the front door and heard kids crying. I was committed then, and spent the next two hours helping and witnessing. The SUV skidded off the road for reasons unknown right now, broadsided the neighbor's retaining wall he built on his driveway, and plowed sideways into the ditch that runs across his yard to the creek.

Luckily there were only minor injuries and the three kids about ten and under were more freaked out and in shock. I brought them to my front porch until the first responders arrived to get them out of the way and to check if they needed more first aid. The youngest was freaked out the most and wanted his daddy then his mommy and after I explained that his mommy had to wait until the cops came to deal with the car, he calmed a little. Then the fire truck arrived on scene. They always reach a car crash first. He freaked out again. "Firefighters! We don't need firefighters! What are they doing here?"

They actually managed to pull the SUV out without destroying the neighbor's driveway further and everything wrapped up and we got back inside by ten. So I've been working on this to calm down enough to go to bed.
What I'm looking forward to: Getting the house out of its clutter stage one state. And finishing the corset.
What I'm not looking forward to: My weekend week plans:

• Add in new 15 minute yoga routine.
• Scour the computer for stuff I'm not using, delete what I don't need, archive what I want to save, and backup.
• Clean out the mass of bookmarks.
• Set up Dropbox account to sync bookmarks.

Fave line: "Batman is dead, so no, it never occurred to him. So smart and so stupid at the same time."

What I Accomplished in the Narrative Today: Tried to type a page and then write a page. Results were very slow.
Fave line: "Marrying a billionaire comes with its pitfalls."
What Else I Accomplished Today: XMarks did not go cuckoo today. Paying job moved everyone in my office to the virtual desktops. It went as well as anything concerning technology does. I also finally finished all the scanning. I have no idea if I will ever make any of those outfits, but now I have source material if I move to a new time period.

Fave line: Gee, that was fun
Second to none
Let's do it again
You were better than Wayne.
What Else I Accomplished Today: XMarks did not go cuckoo today. At the paying job, I’ve been switched over to a virtual machine. So far the only difference I’ve noticed is how much room there is for my feet without the desktop tower under my desk.
