it's almost 1:00 and i'm in a daze. i've been working since 10:00 this morning. i've been banging away on this project like it's due tomorrow when it fact i still have until the end of the week. i think one reason is i'm still not entirely proficient with actionscripting, so it takes me a little longer to do everything. i'm definitely going to go over my original time estimate, but it won't make any difference since i'm getting paid per project instead of hourly. i'm learning as i go, but it's exhausting. i'll have cause for celebration once this work week is over. i'm tired but antsy at the same time. i pace around the house when i need to brainstorm and crash into my bed for the occasional break.

i did leave the house briefly to return some library books and get groceries. learning from my mistake yesterday, i busted out the shorts for the first time this season. the temperature was only in the 70's when i left the house but it felt warmer because of the humidity. later at one point the temperature got into the 80's, but dropped 10 degrees when an ominous stormcloud grazed the area. it didn't rain, but the sky almost went black and the winds were strong enough that i was worried my motorcycle would get blown over.

once i got back, i worked the rest of the day in my underwear, one of the perks of freelancing from home.

i hardly had time to eat, keeping my meals simple: oatmeal for breakfast, some scrambled eggs for lunch, and then a tunafish sandwich for dinner. tomorrow night i'm making pasta, which will make for a very filling yet gassy evening.
