Work has still not begun on our home renovation. We are still waiting on the city for several of the apparently five thousand permits which must be obtained. I have nightmares about this house still being under renovation after the end of September.

Actually, "things not happening on time" has been a major theme the last couple of weeks since there is also a work project which was theoretically initially supposed to go live in mid-July (I never believed that) and then in mid-August and now it's looking like we'll be lucky if it's in mid-September. The incompetence is not mine and is utterly beyond my control. All I can do is sit and wait and grow increasingly frustrated.

I had either one of my sudden headcolds or a very very bad allergy attack this weekend (depends on whose story you believe; the former story is mine but my spouse is gradually convincing me of the validity of the latter); I was just about nonfunctional on Sunday, got better on Monday and Tuesday, decided to go about the usual LTHOMG on Wednesday as a trial run for another thing I had to do out of the house on Thursday. Wednesday went fine so I went ahead with Thursday, and that went fine -- until I was on my way home, when I stopped to pick up a prescription and just collapsed completely. Had the first massive coughing fit I'd had since Monday. Went home and was pretty useless the rest of the night.

I took the day off today. I am taking no chances.

Story progress (remember, it has 27 scenes and August has 31 days):
- 23 scenes rendered
- 22 of those laid out
- 20.5 of those have completed dialogue
