Thank God That For All Practical Purposes, It's Friday!

Whew! That's a mouth full! Er...a keyboard full? Well, it's full of something...that's for sure. :)

Anyway. The freaky guy at work got even freakier. Seems he hears voices talking to him. Should have guessed.

But, I only have to work two hours tomorrow (HOORAY!) and then I get to head out of town to Nevada for the weekend. Woo-hoo! Even if it's not really days off, it's still out of town. Out of town is good.

Today was crazy with too many things to do and not enough time to do them. Not that that's different from any other day except that there was even more of that today. :)

Went to bed late last night, but for the first time in FOREVER, I actually slept ALL night. Hooray!

Got up EARLY this morning to make homemade lotion/cream for a homemade bath/toiletry items swap. Has to be there tomorrow, so I had to send it overnight. Talk about EXPENSIVE!

And, of course, since it was Thursday, my youngest son had late start day. That meant taking my daughter to high school at 7:00 for 0 period, taking my oldest son to college to wait for his 8:00 class. Taking my youngest son to work with me and then at 8:30, taking him to middle school. I hate late start days.

Then, at 11:15, I had to leave to pick up my oldest son, get him lunch, and take him to his job at the high school.

Then, I had to go back to work and figure out how to cover payroll for the week, stress over that all afternoon, work a few miracles.

And, pick up kids, run a million and one errands after work, and get home at 7:00 tonight. (But, on the plus side, I ran to Barnes & Noble and picked up a book someone on a fantasy writing list recommended that just happens to be written by someone whose LJ posts I really enjoy. Can't wait to read it.)

So, I get home, feeling pretty sick, totally exhausted, and I look at my novel file and groan cause I didn't even get a chance to do any of my writing this morning. Normally I can do at least a page, sometimes two, if I'm on a roll.

So, here I sat, looking at it, whining to my sister, who I was e-mailing (Hi, Dev!), that I just couldn't write tonight. Sniffle...I just couldn't.

So, if it's one thing I've learned, it's that I CAN. So, I did.

Of course, here's my concern. Getting my writing done this weekend while I'm out of town. I'm going to take my laptop, if I remember (I'm soooo brain dead sometimes!). But, time is the problem. And, I CANNOT miss a day.

Well, I'll work it out.

Time to sleep now. Got to feel better for tomorrow. Going to visit my sister (Hi again, Dev!). And, we're off to Vegas for a show!!! Hooray!
