MON. MAY 1
Oh, I blew it again. We turned in our script Friday, after staying up almost all night Thurs. night, then we had to switch gears to prep for a really important pitch yesterday (Monday), so somehow I just never got around to doing that which I should be doing. My bad.
If anyone is even still reading, could you click on the comments and let me know? Maybe that will help me be more consistent here.
Okay, yesterday.
We had a huge pitch meeting for which we were woefully underprepared at 3:00, so food was sort of an afterthought for most of the day. I made a Lean Cuisine baked chicken thingie for breakfast because it was the easiest thing I could think of, then strapped myself to my computer and kept working w/o stop until I had to throw my hair and clothes together to get to the meeting.
Because of the big immigration marches yesterday, we had to meet at a deli (the office of the producer we were meeting w/ was on the march route and they had to leave at noon). The senior producer we were meeting with had a piece of chocolate blackout cake, and it was murder watching him eat it. (He offered bites all around, and Lee took a few, but since I'm the major pitcher, I didn't want to take the risk of getting chocolate crumbs on my teeth.)
We picked up the kids late (a LOOOOOONG meeting -- a good one, though), and stopped at a fish-&-chips place to pick up dinner, as I was devolving into my post-pitch numbness and knew I couldn't possibly cook anything worth eating. I had 2 pieces of fried cod, 4 oz. of clams, and appx 4 oz. of chips, aka fries, plus about 1/3 c. of tartar sauce. It was heaven.
Today (Tues.) I am home all day. Normally I would say it's an all -writing day... but we now have nothing to write. So I guess it's time to catch up on the last month of stuff I haven't gotten done. I think I'll make meat loaf for dinner, as I have already-defrosted hamburger waiting to be cooked....

Hi there Janet - I'm still here! I'm inspired by your dedication to this blog. Even when you miss days, you still come back to it. I have to admit, sometimes I do get hungry reading it though! :)
