(no subject)

I feel almost useful. I've done 2/3 of my Medievalish stuff for today and 3/4 of my novelish stuff for today. This is assuming no-one sends anything to my in-box, of course, in which case the proportions will suddenly diminish. I've achieved such major strides through working on two computers. When I get tired, I shift from here to my loungechair and work on my novel. When I get tired again, I make a coffee and come back here and lo, I'm thinking about Medieval monetary systems.

Tomorrow I add teaching into the mix and I will run out of computers and lounge chairs. Today, however, it was very effective.

I still have my two books to read for the day. But the day has hours and hours and hours to run yet. You never know what wonders I shall contrive! Also, I'm having dinner with an old friend - I always manage work better when there is a squidgeon of bribery involved - I get to go out for dinner if I finish this and that and maybe the other.

Before I do much else, though, I might have to do a scrap of housework. There is the slight matter of clothes. My classes like me so much better when I'm wearing them and they're clean. The things we do for public approval...
