Got done more than I thought I would, considering the annoying headache I have. Chapter Five may get split in twain, but it's definitely complete now, in first draft anyhow.

The work I'm doing is clumsy- I feel like, in literary terms, I'm swinging wide trying to fight my reflection in a giant cube of gelatin. I hope the edit cleans this up a LOT.

Tinkering with computer revealed that the CD drive and the DVD-R drive work all right... they're just UNGODLY SLOW. The problem was that none of the transfer disks would work. I eventually tried a different CD burning program, and that disk read... but the new machine doesn't have any zip-file utility. Will try again tomorrow.

While the contractors were putting in the cabinets and restoring the old kitchen countertop (they finish that up tomorrow, followed by painting the remaining old cabinets to match the new), I had to finally replace the fill valve in my toilet. This was every bit as much fun as you'd think it was, what with massive mineral deposits in the tank, a water valve that wouldn't quite shut all the way off, and a tank that doesn't quite drain all the way. (Until you pull the fill valve, that is, whereupon it drains a lot more than you'd think. Onto carpet.)

Hope the allergy headache goes away tomorrow. I need to build up a buffer so I can do some non-Safeharbor writing.
