So this weekend I will finally get to see the movie that got me into SAG, which I may or may not actually be able to see myself in. While the 60s have generally held less than little interest for me, the New York Times loved the movie so much in the way I love movies I'm actually excited about it.

I will also see a production of a short play I wrote directed by someone I don't know.

I will do rewrites on chapters 1-3, and start chapters 6-9.

I will absolutely, positively take time out to write the opening scene of my novel.

I will do a hell of a lot of work.

Also, laundry.

And! We might even manage to get the office at least partially set up.

I have marzipan.

And cheese. Just not together.

Next week I should even manage to get to fencing, as I think these next chapters will be easier than what I just lived through. Thank god. I hate missing it and particularly when the weather gets just slightly crisp and sharp every bit of fiction that made me pick up fencing in the first place just makes me ache every moment I don't have a sword in my hand. Really.

Let's see, need to get hotel stuff squared away for the Regency Ball.

Tons of email to respond to as ever.

And got the best piece of feedback ever on Descensus yesterday.

If the blood test doesn't come back saying he has it, he shouldn't assume he doesn't -- they are pretty unreliable. And then going the biopsy route or just doing the elimination diet (which will prevent him from ever getting a real diagnosis beyond "presumed celiac" if he does it and it works because you have to be eating gluten at the time of the tests for it to work) might be worth investigating.

He shold know that once he stops eating gluten he'll feel better within days. But that his system will still be really screwed up and that eating anything fatty or high in fiber should be done with extreme caution for the first couple of weeks.

He may also want to go get a massage or go to a sauna in about a week after going GF to help get teh toxins out of his system. It helped me a lot.

Chicke and tuna are his friends. Products by Glutino and Foods by George are the only ones that are reliably awesome and Whole Foods has a great GF product selection as a rule.

Thank you so much! I'll pass the information on to my brother and mother.
