"I will not panic. I will not panic. I will not - screw it, PANIC TIME!"

Just sent Beta!Beck the first chunk of my Exchange fic to look over (6K plus words).

Which leaves me with roughly half to three quarters more to write.

Which I've given myself the self-imposed deadline of Wednesday after this one to finish.

Which would probably be doable EXCEPT I've got the Captain hanging around being the Captain, my totally random and weird desire to leave the house once in awhile, and the need to give the ENTIRE house the Cleaning I Usually Reserve For Moving Out Inspections this weekend (family coming to visit, must pretend I don't normally live in a pig sty like the college student I once was).

Captain agreed to help with The Cleaning, but then suddenly "remembered" that he might have to work on Saturday. Which I actually accepted reasonably well because it's not like he gets any say in when whether or not they call him in to work, but then I remembered...

ME: "You can't work Saturday. We're going to Harry Potter. You have to call in 'Harry Potter'."

Captain: "I'm pretty sure I can't actually do that."

ME: "I'll write you a note. Captain can not be at work today because his wife needs to see Snape die tragically. Please excuse him."

Captain: "Tell you what, you write me that note and I'll give it to my boss."

So... yes... Moral of this long drawn out and completely unrelated rambling is that I Have Stuff To Do and scheduling it all is very tricky (you can't clean the house too early because it will just get dirty again and then you have to clean it twice, etc) and I am going to see the Harry Potter movie, dammit.

Also, for some random reason, I woke up at two am and wrote around five hundred words of Exchange fic, then stumbled back to bed. Weird.
