Work and gym

I have a doctor's appointment (nothing major, I hope and expect) tomorrow, and will therefore be working from home, with a break while I'm at the doctor's office. I also have a manuscript that I'm supposed to have finished editing and turn in to production by Thursday afternoon. So, when I realized at a quarter to five that we might need the author to send us some more material (so the practice tests will match the state test blueprint in terms of content in different areas), and then my boss reminded me that I needed to check the fine details of that before emailing the author. (This is the difference between "it needs to be 30% physical science" and "we need at least one question on each practice test about lenses"). She asked whether I would have time to do that before I left. I said "yes," which was more decision than prediction: if necessary, I was going to stay a bit late so I could write to the author. It turned out that I had time to get that information, email the author, and put all the files I may need tomorrow on a thumb drive without staying past 5:30. [I got out the door slight late this morning, so wasn't at work until 9:30, hence staying until 5:30; some days I leave at 5:15 or even 5:00, though that requires really good transit luck or taking a shorter lunch break.]

I went to the gym, where I did a few things and then headed home; I wanted to get some stuff done here, and not to overuse the shoulder. I had read the freebie paper on the train in, so read a book on the cardio bike.
