now I'm pretty tired.
tired in a handsome way
so tired that I forgot to add to the title that it's also the 22nd of this month
I am about to take a shower,
turn on the fire in my wood burner,
prep some dinner
and chill with a movie.
I am proud of myself
and so is my family
and, so are - I guess - a bunch of you
( especially those who have been following me since the start ).
Even though this is only a perfectly imperfect first edition, this sure is exciting.
Or am perhaps feeling the two small percolators of coffee that I drank today? One too many, for a Hypersensitivosaurus like me, but I will forgive myself for this, on a day like today.
I feel that if it hadn't been for this extremely special date, 22-02-22,
I probably wouldn't have made this deadline target date, but I did it nevertheless ( and I shouldn't make this smaller of an effort than it really is ).
Now I should probably go celebrate this not so small step for me ( a giant leap for... ) but, for now, a quiet night will make do.
In fact, that is what I need.
Tomorrow afternoon, I will get a massage. It's gonna be the first time I pay for a massage, ever in my life, and I feel it's very much deserved.
I am also already looking forward to all your massages messages of praise ;<)
Applause for myself
FYI: For now, I only went for a first edition color print of 10 copies, to be delivered to my parents house, in The Netherlands,
in a couple of days ( a surprise for them ). I don't even remember if I picked hardcover or paperback but suffice to say that it's gonna be actual old-fashioned books.
One copy will be for my mom and dad, another one for my brother and his girlfriend, and yet another one for my sister, brother in law and two nephews, all living in Holland.
Then there's 7 copies left.
One of those is meant for me, another for my twin sister, my cunhado ( Portuguese bro in law ) and niece and nephew ( all five of us live in Portugal ).
That leaves 5 copies.
Not sure what will happen to those.
I will await a reaction from my parents and brother ( my Dutch based sister and her family will go on a holiday this weekend ) about the quality, before I decide whether I want to print more copies at the company that I selected to deal with the first edtion.
I will also await your response and animo for a physical copy yourself and see if I can find an affordable way for international shipping in the near future.
Much love and a hug from a proud and somewhat exhausted Vincent
aka Hypersensitivosaurus
