Taking the day off work for our anniversary and to get a few things done.

Got quite a bit of work done last night on novel plotting and larger-picture type things. Characterization needs a lot of work — need to make sure the book isn’t on rails like a fun house ride.

Dog barking this morning at 6:30 am did not help my need for sleep. ;)

Had an anniversary dinner at La Costa with Nyse earlier, and both of us are entirely too full. Nice to have a ‘blow-it’ evening on the diet front, which is a good thing to do every so often. Also gave myself permission not to go to the gym tonight, but to resume on schedule Wednesday. What that does as well is give me another day to work out how I’m going to resolve the various workouts I’ve researched and the equipment available at 24-Hour Fitness.
