Hmm, taking a few days off doesn’t make the work go away.
Today I got up early and went into the office and learned interesting things (including WOW I need to get an iPad, it’s like they were INVENTED for realtors…), then met with the boss briefly, then rushed off to do a quick favor for a friend, then hurried home to work hard on a freelance project, and water the orchids, and even got to work on this troublesome short story a bit (I made progress, if you can call it progress when you’ve only made the damn thing worse–but it’s the kind of worse that’s probably pointing to better, if I could but see it…), and had eggs and toast for dinner because I didn’t have time/energy for anything more creative, and read Mark’s latest chapter and gave him feedback on it (it’s excellent, like they all are), and–suddenly it’s 10:30.
I didn’t cross off any to-do list items. That must be a flaw in the list, because I was busy all day. Right? Right?? Humor me here.
