Meko (the red pomeranian) is on my bed washing her face, a trick she has picked up from the cat. (You think that's funny, you should see my English cocker spaniel do it.) She's on my bed because we're having bad thunderstorms (one power outage this morning already, dammit), and the critters tend to come hide in my room when there are loud noises (like 24 on TV). Except that this actually puts her closer to the thunder, so... I don't know. The storm's let up now, so she's grinning and bathing and having herself a fine time.

Back to work.

I am trying any wacky thing at this point to boost my productivity--aromatherapy (tangerine! white ginger! green tea!), gem therapy (amethyst bracelets!), music (desk-dancing to guitars!), chocolate (mmmhazelnuts), exercise (uh... let's try the walk later, when it's not raining)... Vladimir suggested just enough booze to get me giddy, but drinking generally just makes me sleepy. This is counterproductive at best. I suppose I could always go out and score some coke like the big writers, but that hardly seems worth the effort. All of this is ignoring, of course, the fact that eventually you just have to roll up your sleeves and get down to slogging through it whether you feel "productive" or not.

P.S. Now I dead from cute.
