ROW 80 Update - 10/9/11
It's that time of year again. Fall. And with the fall, or other seasonal changes that can't remain consistent from day to day, I have my semi-annual headache. You know the one. Sinuses feel like they are ready to explode from the pressure; you are vampirically allergic to the light, especially sunlight; and standing up makes you motion sick. The headache could last a day or a week. It's throwing all my goals out the door so I can focus on not vomiting every time I move.
I have put in a single hour of edits a couple of days ago; however, it took me three hours to get to that point. My laptop is an old refurbished Compaq Evo N620c and it has a tendency to go through bouts of overheating. I have to constantly unfreeze things by removing the overheated battery and let it cool enough to get things working again. And, thanks to my cats bad chewing habits, the cord to the cooling pad was chewed through and I'm having a heck of a time replacing it. If I'm lucky, Black Friday sales will have a reasonably priced laptop I can buy to replace this old one.
I'm going to try to get more edits in today, but it all depends on the headache and laptop. Wish me luck!
Happy Reading!

Sorry about the headache. =( I totally know how that feels. No way to work on the goals when that happens. But it's okay, because it's not that you're slacking off, just that life got in the way.
Thanks, Angela. You're right, I couldn't help what was dealt to me that week and I have to just keep at it.
