Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

Also, I cannot focus. I'm trying to write this thing and my brain has decided to think about everything else.
Yard sale tomorrow. Need signs. Should call old neighbor. Need to vacuum. When can I shampoo the carpets in the old house? Hope the heat isn't bothering the cat (we don't have central air and no longer have the Navy paying our electric bill). I should take the kids to the beach. I wonder if we could find a shave ice place on this side. Lunch? Gotta fix the garbage disposal. When can we get a pumpkin?

STAHP BRAIN!

Argh! I lost a HUGE chunk of the next Supervillainous strip. I had spent quite a bit of time on a panel last night - great composition, cool designs for ancillary characters, and I tapped the wrong damn menu option and opened something else, losing all that progress because I forgot to save. Threw a new panel together to stay on schedule, but it's not as good.

Write down a list of all the things you should do, so that you can tell your brain "don't worry, I won't forget that, I'll get back to it, but for now, let's focus on something else". Helps me, anyway.
 
I accidentally picked up a bag of rotten potatoes and got this nasty rotting potato liquid all over my hands. I've washed them several times but they still smell like shit.

Underling's boyfriend had a seizure at work and fell, hitting his face on a countertop. Got taken by ambulance to the hospital. She has, naturally, fled to his side. Which leaves me to do her work today. It'll be a late night tonight, I fear.

Just wait: once the owner hears about it, he's going be in full on panic mode, worrying if he's going to LIABLE for anything.

It's ok, I'll always remember.
Of course, with you, the tragedy of the story is not the actual 20 year old in the hospital with a mushy brain and the poor girl who loves him, it's my automatic use of "when it sounds like EE, I before E except after C and oh yeah in the word "seizure."

You's a cold, cold woman, Dei. Heartless, one might say. Prone to betrayal.
 
Look, everyone has their own grammar pet peeve. I purposely mix up less and fewer just to make my husband cry about it (and about Stannis). I can't stand people mixing up the ie/ei thing. Now you all know my weakness!

(My other weakness is hating people who don't make legit Haikus in CaH, but people knew that already ;) )

That is far from your only pet peeve :p
