starzki | Being sick = Acutal work done

I woke up feeling completely barfy this morning (and, for whatever reason, woke up in love with the word barfy). I originally had a meeting today with one of my committee members that I worked my ass off yesterday preparing for. Then, before I left work, I checked my email and found out her son is sick and she had to reschedule to Thursday. Canceled meeting + me sick = me not even going into stupid work today. Not counting the emails I had to send in case anyone was looking for me, I didn't even get out of bed until 1 o'clock.

But when I did drag myself to the couch, I read an entire text book and outlined a particularly hairy part of my second prelim question. Now I feel accomplished and barfy.

I also have another one shot bouncing around in my head that refuses to leave me alone. Well, it isn't even bouncing around anymore. It's pretty well ordered and visualized and, except for having actual words written out describing it, it's done and yelling "Write me! Write me! Write me! Write me!" I had promised myself that I wouldn't write it out until I had finished chapter four of "Kusarigama," but I actually want to write the one shot, if only to get it to shut up. I think I may let it stew for a while so that I can think out the appropriate mood for the story. Right now I can't decide if it's a "sunny and humid" story or "mostly cloudy and cool with the promise of warmth later in the day" kind of story. It started out as the former, but now I'm leaning toward the latter. I know I'm going to call it "Break."

Now for Glaser and Strauss and grounded theory! Let's see if I can read two texts in one day and knock out another part of my second question!
