ARGHASDFSPK stressed
I'm really spacey / out of it today.
BUT
has to get this book cover adjusted for print. Spine had been estimated at 18mm, actual that it needs to be is 19.3mm.
SO
I have to adjust the layout, crop marks, etc, so that it prints proper
Seems easy enough.
Took me two hours, I thought I was almost done.
Then I just JUST realized that my spine width is 0.005" less than what it should be [and as a result, all of my horizontals are off as well, as laying out from the center], as I must have dropped a decimal place at some point, in laying out my guides, and converting from mm to inches.
Did the math, I think that is like... 2 pixels off. confused
Which in theory, could be left as is.
BUT
I'm incredibly over much perfectionist - and I know that I am, and I get frustrated with myself that I can't just let things be as they are. As it wastes so much time.
I need to get this sent to friend so that it gets uploaded into Costco's queue and prints out, so that I can courier it up so that it gets there tomorrow, so that the publisher can stick the inner text disc with it, and then ship it off to the printing place in Quebec so that it all gets printed, bound, etc in time for launch date.
*tries to breathe*
I really, REALLY need a drink sad
Brain is in hyper mode, and my dexedrine has me quivering twitchy, need alcohol to counteract so that I can focus rather than having hands tremble and knocking the mouse off from where I was trying to point it for the past twenty minutes -- but my friend decide 'not drinking anymore' and the bottle of gin in the freezer isn't there anymore.
I know, I know -- alcohol does not solve problems in the long run. I'm not looking for it to - I'm looking for the depressant effect to quell some of the tremor in my hands and slow my brain down a bit out of crazy-insane-warp-speed. Some days the dexedrine kicks in really hard and fast depending on the rest of my body [which I haven't figured out how to predict yet] - I've only had half of today's dosage so far, but now I'm all tremble-tremor exhausted hyper, and need a nap. Taking the rest of today's dosage might make me not feel as exhausted for a while, but I'd probably get incredibly irritable and noise of fridge and stuff would be like rakes in my brain stabbing down nerve endings.
And I'm still exhausted from last weekend - shot cousin's wedding, which was really lovely and fun to shoot at Fielding Park, Lively, Ontario. Was out in the sun from ~1pm until sunset all day Saturday, plus 4 hours of sun on the drive up to Sudbury on Friday, plus about six hours of sun on Sunday --- sun makes ama extremely tired, and that was way too much sunlight.
Right now feels like need nap time, but need to get this done confused
