The Rest: 13,000 words
Feb. 1st, 2006 12:44 amThe final sample chapter is kind of finished. It's too short. I think I'll have to leave it for a couple of days, then add some more stuff about how horrible the only city on the planet is. :-) In the meantime, synopsis.
Had my eyes checked today - an annual diabetic ritual. They're fine. I gained weight over the holiday period, more because I wasn't exercising than because I was overeating, but it's started to go back down now I'm stomping around all over the place again. (More exercise and less podge = better control of my blood glucose levels, which have been rather dodgy recently.) I have all the other regular tests and checks to look forward to - feet, kidneys, long-term average blood glucose level, etc. Postponing the ankle surgery has given me a chance to get all this stuff done when it should be done, as well as completing a project at work; it's an ill wind etc.
