13:00 I’ve decided to go for a long blog entry today, split up into several writing sessions. This probably counts as a slight form of procrastination, but then procrastinating allows me to work things out in the back of my mind. And I could hardly keep on staring at my shopping list.

I’ve got most of the things I need for the weekend figured out, but I need to decide what I want to eat over the weekend. So far I’ve got “salad” down in an option to turn this into a somewhat healthy writing weekend, though I may end up ordering Pizza at least once to compensate for the salad

I’m also tidying up my apartment a bit and am actually considering doing the dishes today. I’ve probably go enough clean ones left to make it through the weekend. But having things tidy now means I won’t have that procrastination option open for the weekend.

16:00 Just back from shopping, I’ve finally got my supplies for the weekend in. Promptly forgot to buy any bread of course, but that’s not much of an issue. I’ve got some in the freezer I can get out. And I’ve got plenty of time to do more shopping Monday. That’s not a guarantee I won’t go out shopping tomorrow as well, it just means that I won’t have to.

I haven’t written a lot yet today, but I’m about go dig in for a nice little session before I have to go out again around 17:00. Just as soon as I get over the drowsiness of coming home into a warm apartment after being out in the cold on the way back from the shops. I’m rather hoping to at least break 140k before I go out again, but we’ll have to wait and see on that one.

21:00 I got home about 45 minutes back, and only just made it to the 140k I had hoped to have before leaving. But I’ve put myself on an hourly schedule from now on, and I’ve got a big pot of Earl Grey standing ready to keep me going.

It’s going to take a good push in these last few hours of the day to get to my target for the day, but I think I can make it. And at least the other shoe has just dropped. I had a minor crisis going on back on Earth, and it’s now turned into a major one. That should allow me to tie together the last few loose ends quite nicely, in another 25k or so… I think.

23:53 Well I made it to my goal for the day. 144,441. That leaves some 22k for the weekend to make my ideal final score. I’m not sure how that will work out in the end, but I’m looking forward to trying. I certainly managed to get a bit of momentum back today, so there’s a good chance I’ll make it.

And whether I make it to my ideal of 166,661 or not, I’m certainly in a position to reach my more modest goal of topping 150k. In fact I’m pretty sure I’ll do that sometime tomorrow afternoon. It’s still a big push for the weekend any way you look at it, but I’ve got all the essential supplies in, so I’m in a good position to push for it.
