caitri1) I have not been sleeping well with Scott gone, mostly because I am weak and if allowed to stay up til 2am on a regular basis I will and partly because the dogs miss him and are extra hyper at night.
2) Sideways, Scott left Nairobi just in time for it to be attacked by terrorists today. He called before the news was out, so I know he's safe in his hotel in Tanzania. But he will still have to go back to Nairobi in two weeks for a night at a hotel before his first flight homewards, which makes me so anxious I have literally been sick to my stomach and shaking all day.
3) Called PODS so they could pick up the PODS, but Scott was the one who set up the account so I can't do anything until he authorizes me. So they are gonna email him paperwork to do so. But his wifi is iffy right now--we had a ten minute call by Google that was a lot of "What? What?"
4) Nasty gram from old!man!book editor who pointed out a bunch of minor errors in the files I sent him (which, fair enough, minor word differences in TOC and actual chapters) and because I didn't send a thumb drive with the hard copy (...because the main acquiring editor said they don't do that anymore, that's what their FTP servers or for...except he wanted a paper copy because again old man...) so I spent an hour doing minor copy-editing...and I've already done a TON of copy-editing on this, it's time for SOMEONE ELSE TO DO IT, DARNIT, and then I need to go to Kinko's again.
**exhausted sigh**
