Cranky Pants

I have a lot going on right now. Three manga deadlines, one of which is coming up fast. Four books at the printers, which must ship Monday. Two more books that need to go into production asap. An adult site that never seems like it will be finished, because every time it looks like it's done, we find something else we need to fix before we can go live. (Plus, the worries about how we will need to do weekly updates, and while two of us here are good with schedules, one of us does not understand the concept of "time" or "deadlines".) Our online forum is being retarded again, and I can't post to it 98% of the time because the server (which we increased the bandwidth for) is overloaded by spam bots and Google spiders. Bills are coming due and the rent is becoming a worry, since this is a short month. Other business stuff is going on behind the scenes that might mean new opportunities for us (if we can work like dogs, hell for leather, twenty-four-seven) that I can't talk about yet, because it's not a done deal, but it does mean extra work right now and extra worry to try to get it. And on top of all of this, the end of our lease is coming up, and I don't know yet if we will have to move house or not. All of this fun during my period! Whee!

Yesterday, I ended up getting very little done, sadly. The whole period-making-me-sick thing had kicked in, and I literally could not concentrate for half the day. It really makes me angry when I can't get work done because of my stupid uterus. It looks and feels like weakness, and anyone who knows me will know that I despise being weak. I still managed to get auctions done, answer some email, sort some mail, process orders, do some paperwork, work on the adult site, go to the PMB, and get another box of junk sorted and tossed out of the apartment. The day before, I got two boxes and one 33-gallon trash bag of stuff thrown away. This apartment collects useless paper like other places collect dust, I swear. And with the whole up-in-the-air nature of the lease, I feel like I should be ready, just in case, which means more auctions and trips to Half Price Books. (Even though what they offer is ridiculously low, it's better than throwing stuff away.)

Today I have to go give the printer some more money, again, and then deal with more stuff around here. And that damn adult site had better go live today, because it's really starting to irk me that something that was promised to launch in January is not yet done at the end of February.
