A successful day, a little more achieved.

In the last few weeks our house has been riddled with sick bugs.  Working on this project has been a real challenge as evenings are my prime drawing time and unless it’s absolutely, absolutely necessary I don’t like to short-change the children on cuddles when they need them if they are poorly.  The sick cuddles of course led to me also catching an impressive sickness bug and I spent a huge portion of Friday night on the bathroom floor and unable to work for another evening.  Thankfully I was back up and bouncing by Saturday and the house is relatively bug-free for a change.  I’m stocking the children up with lots of fresh fruit, vegetables and pro-biotic yoghurts in an attempt to keep them in optimum health for February so that I can make my deadline of the 27^th.

So, today was successful because I managed to draw out another final black and white image for the book.  My client approved the thumb sketches during the week so I have two finals to work on currently and another thumb in process to approve.  

Now I just have to hit this deadline so must put my nose back to the grindstone!  My husband is helping by cooking dinner and the children are all asleep.  Baby O will probably wake around ten o’clock for a feed so I have an hour, then a couple more after settling him if I can stay awake.  My poor husband will be glad when this project is over so that I can give him some attention again.  He works from home so I am his social life and it suffers somewhat when I’m busy in the evenings.
