All righty, then.

Today, I have:

• Angsted about my rejection from Writers of the Future
  
• Gotten over it
  
• Printed out the BeagleFic for submission to Fantasy and Science Fiction
  
• Decided that the CatFeet fic is going to Weird Tales
  
• Bought more envelopes so I have them handy for snail mail submissions
  
• Addressed and stuffed one for F&SF
  
• Discovered that I have PLENTY of mailing labels and thus my decision not to blow $3 on more was a good one
  
• Created a spreadsheet for my fiction subs
  
• Discovered, upon doing so, that the BeagleFic has now been rejected five times
  
• Angsted about that
  
• Brightened considerably upon realizing that only one of those rejections was on the revised and considerably improved version
  
• Put my original fic in its own folder on my desktop
  
• Backed it up into its own thumb drive

And now I need to wrestle with the CatFeet fic a little more. It feels done to me, but I dunno...

GIP!

Which is also, you know, the way I'm feeling today, because...

YAY!

We're going to Moab for the Jeep Safari tomorrow.

This means, of course, that I have a crapload of things to do.

• Pack
  
• Laundry
  
• Bank
  
• Post Office, so I can pay for the eBay auction I sniped to within an inch of its life last night, and also ship off the BeagleFic to F&SF
  
• Eye appointment, which I have at 3:20 and really need because I really should have done that last year
  
• Set up the VCR to tape the shows we're going to miss
  
• Clean the kitchen so we don't come home to ickiness
  
• Set the cats up
  
• Do my nails so they're not freakishly long
  
• Make sure the trash goes out tonight Which turned out to be useless, because they hadn't picked it up by the time we left.
  
• Ask the Hubby if the campground allows dogs Checked the website. "Leashed friendly pets welcome."

I'm sure I'm forgetting something. I'm positive of it. *flails*

The good news is that we actually got a spot in a campground for Tues-Thurs, and they have wi-fi. Also, a change of scenery generally shakes something or other loose, writing-wise.

Also?

I LOVE MOAB. We didn't go last year for various reasons (probably a good thing, because the Hubby opened up his rear pumpkin on the Willys and discovered a big ol' scary CRACK in part of the housing), and I missed it.

So. I may be out of LJ for a week or so, depending.
