Ugh! Today started with a bang and I feel like I've had a full day already at 11 a.m. The boy child had a sore throat last night. Then again this a.m. Strep is going around so off we go to the doc as soon as the bus leaves. No strep but extra swab went out. School with him. Store for me. The grocery store. The. Grocery. Store. And tomorrow they are calling for the kick off of some super icky weather and accumulation so me and every elderly person in the greater Baltimore area tried to shop simultaneously this morning. Stupid ass me just needed some normal shopping stuff. Somehow that always coincides with 'weather events'. I just must have a lucky horseshoe up my ass or some such.
Then library for returns (due to impending weather). Then home to unload. Then started veg soup for tonight because really good fresh soup makes me happy. Can't figure out the blaring headache until I remember: tada! I have not eaten. So I heat up my lunch while I finish soup. And I take three bites and sit to answer emails and...phone rings. Come get boy child! He is miserable.
Sigh. No food for me. Out to school, collect child, home for soup tweaking, ate and now...my god. No shit, I may be a wuss but I am so tired. And I say to the man, and now I must start the new book.
Dead silence. Then. "No, you must not start the new book. You can take a day off once in a while. Or two."
"I took of yesterday," lied I.
"No you didn't. You wrote a short and read for your anthology."
Hmm.
"I took the day off before that."
"NO you didn't. You spent all day doing promo and paperwork."
Hmm. Who knew he paid attention so well?
Guess what. I'm taking the rest of the day off. And maybe tomorrow. That will be not one, but two. Two days. That new book can wait two days, right? Right!? Well, it'll just have to. As will the antho, the novella, the short and proofing. No earthly clue why I'm mentally deflated...
XOXO

A day off now and again is important(says the woman who doesn't take any)...(O_O)
So put your feet up and read something for pleasure. Take a bubble bath. Lay in that streak of sun like a cat and soak it in before the icky weather arrives.
You deserve it!
Nothing wrong with a day off now and again, especially with two feet of snow coming our way. I may get a day or six off myself. lol
two days off, two feet of snow and a cmputer that's acting like a bitch. great. worst forking nightmare. But I have books and books do not crash. sigh.
Be safe and warm, ladies.

Love, love, LOVE the polish colour!
Take it easy and feel better soon.
Love the nail polish. I want creepy green! Snow predicted here tomorrow and I was out of cat treats. One won't eat without them these days so I had to go to the store. Insane people act like they'll be snowed in for a month instead of a day.
I am wearing blue, too! But mine is more cobalt. We should get together for a polish party!
XXX,
Alison
