Catching Up in the Rain
Jul. 22nd, 2010 10:17 amThe rain is helping me catch up on all the rest of my life. As the world's laziest neighbor, I've been painting the neighbor's side of our fence in TINY increments. Yesterday, I had time for about three or four slats. Today, as long as it keeps raining, NONE!
Today, I need to read. I've got a ton of Wyrdsmiths critiquing to do before the meeting tonight. Unfortunately, I fell behind on Kelly's stuff, and Kelly writes so fast that means that I'm now in possession of a small ton. But, once I stretch out on my couch with a cat on my knees, it will be a quick, fun read.
Yesterday was another one of those ridiculously busy days. I had gutter installers coming at some point (you know, the whole between noon and midnight,) and a staff photographer from the Pioneer Press at 3:00 PM. And guess when the gutter guys came? That's right! 3:00 PM! But, as it happens our house is such a mess, I decided that I'd offer to go to some other location with the photographer. We ended up at that cemetery on Front, Calvary? He offered to go to a place featured in the book, but I didn't think I could get onto the roof of the Saint Paul Farmer's Market or into any house in Cathedral Hill. Anyway, I think the cemetery will be fine. People expect cemeteries and vampires, and I did NOT dress goth, so it might make a fun juxaposition. We'll have to wait and see. The article is supposed to come out Sunday, August 1.
I will also be busy doing a few other things today. It's fish tank changing day, folder volunteering at Mason's school, AND recycling. (Recycling is kind of a big deal at our house, since somehow we always manage to accumulate a LOT. And, if I miss it, the house is taken over by bags of recycling.)
Sometimes I wonder how we ever got stuff done around the house when I worked a full-time job AND wrote novels.
