Oh, Joy! Oh, Rapture! It's Hump Day!

And after today, we'll be on the downside of the week, heading for a three-day weekend!!!

Woo-hoo! I, for one, am in desperate NEED of that long weekend.

How about you folks? You got anything planned for the last holiday of the summer? Going anywhere? Staying home?

I am staying home, though oldest son and I were considering a drive up to the desert to a place we've always wanted to eat (we see it when we drive to and from Nevada), depending on what the traffic is like.

I think even a short trip like that (couple of hours each direction) would help me revive a little bit. I've been pretty dead lately. Not only am I less productive when I'm dead, but I feel like sh*t, too.

Got 30 pages to write on my screenplay between now and tomorrow, but that's not going to happen. It's been a transitional week with daughter and youngest son going back to school this week. (Oldest started three weeks ago.)

Now, I'm all over the place, dropping off and picking up. Once things settle into a routine, we'll deal with the craziness of it and see if we can get some relief.

So, the 30 pages will be written by end of day Saturday, and then I'm going to see if I can get the next 30 done between Saturday and Sunday.

And, work on novel.

I haven't even been posting word count meters and progress lately, which shows you just how totally WORN OUT I have been. All I can think about is sleep.

So, I hope to catch up on that, too. :)

Anyway, off to work. I mean, off to drop of kids and then go to work.

Everybody have a good day!

What am I going to do this weekend? Hmm? Well, I think I'll work around the yard, getting things cleaned up. Maybe start that patio that I want and use up all those broken chunks of cement. Go into the woods and make some little viewing points. Maybe I'll write a little. Have a small get together with family and have a bbq.

Nah! Just vegetate. Three days? Oh yeah, vegetate!

I'm going to try to get my boss to let me take Tuesday and Wednesday as vacation days, since I have a ton of time saved up and have not had a chance to take any.

I'm not sure what I'll do with all that time if I do get it, but I'm sure I'll find something to occupy myself!

Fun fun fun

Rumor has it I'm throwing nugatorytm into Bluebell's shotgun seat, and we're driving to Pahrump to have an excessive holiday weekend - including a jaunt to Vegas to see Lance Burton's magic show - with dragovianknight. I'm looking forward to gobs of fun, late-night runs to Sonic, Dev showing me how to get past the first scenario of "Kingdom Hearts", #60 sunblock as we loll in the pool... everything that makes a holiday weekend worthwhile. Except of course for the traffic.

I know.

I was going to drive up this weekend, but she told me you'd asked her to go into Vegas with you, so I'm staying home.

Drive safe.

No long weekend for me, but I am going to drive up to the mountains east of the city to visit a nursery and buy some plants. Plus there's another dance lesson (at least we're not learning the waltz!) before the wedding and it's Father's Day here on Sunday. Plus dinner at my parents' house. : )

Fun!

Well, busy fun, anyway. : )

nightwolfwriter is spending the long weekend at DragonCon. I was going to go with him originally, but decided not to. With the scary professional test coming up I'm actually glad I did!

I plan to spend most of the weekend with my nose in one book or another, but I imagine I'll take my daughter on a few outings!

Cheers,

Wish

good luck with your writing!
