Let's see, what did I do on Sunday? Slept in. Worked on taxes. Did minimum maintenance cleaning. Walked to the library (Yes, in the giant snowstorm. It was my exercise for the day. Because of the snow, it totally counts.) to pick up books on hold. Marveled at the snowstorm (the second record-buster snowstorm of the year?).

In the evening, [livejournal.com profile] sinister_dr_x and [livejournal.com profile] fayde invited us out to the 508 Bar for the Timberwolves' special event coverage of the All-Star game. 5 hours of watching a game that only airs on cable (which we don't have). Free buffet. Free drinks. Good company. Lots of prize giveaways. What's not to like? Okay, 5 hours of sports.

It was a good time, though. The food was entirely edible--the salad tasted amazing, I think I must need more fresh greens. I worked on my writing side project during the game. I won a set of Timberwolves wine glasses(!) that were surprisingly non-tacky.

Despite the snowstorm, driving was pretty good. The highway was very well plowed, as were the downtown streets. We only got a little stuck trying to get back into our alley on the way home. Phil was very proud of our "all-terrain Kia Rio."

Here, have some pretty snow pictures )

2/20/11, Sunday
* Posted freewriting and writing log.
* Caught up on CoBB thank-yous. W00T! (Then people donated more. Double w00t!)
* Was about to brainstorm new side project story, when I remembered--holy Batman! I have a letter-game story that it’s my turn on, and has been for a ridiculously long number of months.
* Printed off Platinadar, re-read and highlighted strategic bits (plot points to build on, critical names, etc.) and began writing response.
* Fixed some broken html on a couple of the CoBB website pages.

Spent my morning and early afternoon working on the work-from-home day job project that's scheduled for the next two weeks. Or rather, correcting and communicating with the client about a project. Just got back the results of a smaller test load, and unfortunately that led to me needing to go back and change a lot of stuff. Not mistakes on my part, just, "Oh, the software apparently needs it to be done this way," stuff. Drop-down menus had to be changed, things had to be loaded in a different order. Blech. But fixed!

Afternoon was writing. I got my quota of words for The Circus of Brass and Bone done, had some fun with a big reveal. And the last scene for this story arc revealed itself, which made me giggle evilly. This episode's going to be a short one, but I think there's enough in it that it'll be fun. Another couple of thousand words tomorrow and it won't even be a short one. I just am not sure I'll get to my visualized end point. Hrm.

Phil came home early from work, bearing groceries. He worked 2nd shift for the rest of the week, so his boss basically told him that he should really leave early today. Phil curled up on the couch, covered his face with one of my t-shirts that was sitting on the coffee table (folding laundry), and fell asleep. Girl kitty slept on top of the couch cushions near his feet. It was cute.
