Ack!
No time, ZERO! Working overtime at the DayJob so as to pre-catch up for being away all next week. Strained my back a bit, as sometimes happens when I forget to take breaks, so I now move more slowly exactly when I need to be moving faster.
Trying to prepare for a trip that includes: attending a convention where I must dress not like a slob, and be able to speak intelligently on a writerly subject; hanging out with writer pals, where I can wear any ol’ thing, but must read stuff out loud, provide beverages, and prepare to do arts & crafts; and day-hiking in the White Mountains, where I must somehow also appear with at least 3 cakes in hand.
I am NOT baking those cakes. I will buy pre-baked.
I managed to squeeze in some good writing time on Monday, plus the gym — then it was bye-bye to all that, and hello prep-chaos.
Although, on Monday I did drive all the way to the Funky Monkey and only remembered when I got there that it’s closed on Mondays. Had to do Panera’s instead.
Where I wanted to be vs. where I was
Time’s up! Hit the ground running!

Well, I can attest from personal experience that you succeeded at the first two/thirds of your grand plan. Hope the finale goes well!

I’ve arrived at phase 3, my sister is halfway up a mountain, and there’s a party going on downstairs right now.
Plus: did my laundry.
