Less than 24 Hours Away

We've been waiting all year and it's finally upon us. The kickoff to the 2009 NFL Season is here! Tomorrow night is just the appetizer, a Thursday night game (that I won't get to see until the second half because of work), but it's still football nonetheless. This Sunday my pregnant wife and I will pig out on tons of fast food, all while watching 12 hours of pro football. We can't wait.

As for Amanda, well, she's sick. She's sick a lot. Part of the problem is that she can't vomit, which blows when you're in the midst of any sort of baby sickness. But she's hanging in there. Hopefully at the end of the month we'll be able to determine the sick. Either way we have names picked-out, and in March we'll have the newest addition to the Cathey family.

Work has occupied a substantive amount of my time recently, which is frustrating, especially when you're putting in 11 hours per day. But I still write all of the time. Last night after getting home at 8:30 p.m. I fell asleep at the computer on the bedroom floor. I'd at least made it to page 50. But at least this is the LAST rewrite on 'Plunge.' We're getting close. And I'm done setting goals with rewrites. It's just pointless. This past weekend (at my parents) I planned on writing most of the time. What happened? I slept my ass off, that's what I did. And I think I deserved it. During the week I get on average 5.5 hours a night between writing, occasional gaming and waking-up to work out. There was a part of me awhile back that just wanted to work. I'd get home after a long work day and write. I'd fall asleep somewhere uncomfortable then get up and do it again. It's taxing. Now I'm taking a little more 'brainless' time. That 'brainless' time is consumed by movies, television and sometimes videogames. I'll go crazy if I don't take it.

Jesus...another vampire commercial. I'm so f'ing tired of vampires...


Until next time...
