Baked goods, bads, and morally ambiguouses.

First week at ConHugeCo seems to have gone well, though slowly. There's a delay in getting me onto the appropriate systems, so I can only do a little until that happens. Still, I've been advised to be patient and enjoy the slow time I have now.

The schedule of writing in the morning has worked, though there are problems. The first is that I need to swear off LiveJournal in the mornings, or I cut a chunk out of my writing time. So I'll be disappearing even more. The second is that although I got up at 6:15-6:30 for my old job regularly, I seem to be incapable of getting up until 7:00 now. I hit the snooze button and then don't hear it recur -- and this is the sort of alarm that's supposed to go off for a full minute before it shuts down. So either that's broken, or I'm sleeping through a full minute of beeps. I may switch alarm clocks and see what happens.

I'm looking into getting a gym membership, since I'll be walking less with the shorter commute. Any advice from Boston people on a good gym for an overweight woman with body self-image issues?

And now I'm going to read through the novel, decide whether I've fixed the major problems, and begin a polishing edit. I've already played a merry game of "cull the adverbs" with half of the draft. Here, little adverb, let me find you so I can STOMP ON YOU!
