I am stuck on a work issue. The upgrade from the old system to the new means that some things that worked in the old system don't quite seem to work in the new. It's really frustrating and I've been working on this for weeks.

Lockdown is going okay for me. I'm a bit tired and a bit restless, but it feels...familiar? I'm not sure if that's because This Is My Life or because we did this a year ago and more.

We are probably going to need a new fridge soon. The old one has been making ominous noises, gurgling and wheezing a little. B1 won't let me get a new one until this one is completely done, though. She really does have object permanence issues.

I need to start putting money away for things like cat vet bills and appliance fail. We should have a fund for that - even if it's only $10 a month. We need to look at the tiles on the roof - I'm pretty sure there are some slow leaks there, and I want to get the house insulated...and extended. But that takes money and organisation and I don't even know where to start with that. *sigh*

I am once again stuck in the 'quiet part' of this book. Lots of little bits coming together. And the urge to rewrite it over and over again. Must resist.

Also, I have realised that I am not writing a KU self-publishing kind of book: the one that you write easy and read easy. I am writing an EPIC FANTASY NOVEL kind of thing. In the realm of 100K words if not more. Which...is not really surprising. Just a little frustrating.

Got my AU Exchange assignment. The recip isn't unexpected, but at least it's something I can write. Now to see if I can write something that doesn't go epic...
