Such incredible, stupid, unmanageable hell.
It was so very hellish that when my flatmate called to find out what was going on, I promptly burst into tears.
It's a work matter, not a writing one (Oh, how I long for the day when writing is my work!) , so I'm not going to go into detail here. Needless to say, it was a terrible, terrible, terrible day.
Obviously, no writing was done. No writing will be done today, either. Or tomorrow. I'm giving myself the rest of the week off writing. Luckily for me, I have a project that will keep me occupied, and while it isn't writing, it is related to my writing future. So I won't feel like I'm totally slacking off.
Right, I'm off to catch up and get to work. Hopefully today will be much better.

My heart goes out to you, S.M.! Yes, here's hoping today is much, much better for you! (((HUGS)))
Thanks so much, Pam. A good thing from all this, I'm now more determined to implement the changes I started earlier this week!
