I woke up in the middle of the night, convinced that everything had gone terribly wrong with work and that I would never recover. It took me a long time to get to sleep and I only managed after making a careful plan for the morning to double-check everything and after reading a couple of chapters of Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. This is in the recently burgeoning school of simply written YA-ish non-Western fantasies. A shame as I was looking forward to an intelligent literary book with a Mayan-based fantasy world. Sadly, it is like the rest of its kind and is lightweight and forgettable, and not particularly elegantly written.
Anyway, I eventually went to sleep and in the morning things didn’t seem so bad.
I am dashing to complete other work these days and have a phone meeting scheduled at 9 in the evening. Quite irritating to realise this morning that, actually, I don’t need a call for the information I want and in fact, it would probably be preferable to avoid it.
