Color-Coded for Maximum Confusion!

Actually the goal is not confusion! I like my flight manual colorful, is all. And it’s not really color-coded, just…colorful. (Pay no attention to the super-huge discs. That’s just me being a doofus. On realizing that my flight manual was close to outgrowing the 3/4-inch size my notebook came with, I decided i should just […]

After the Weekend (Alas)

I don’t know why anyone ever thought a two-day weekend was enough. It clearly needs to be three days. One for recovery, one for errands and cleanup, one for relaxing. (I think four days would be even better, but let’s not be greedy. Yet.) Though to be honest, I didn’t get around to most of

Editing, the Part That Goes On and On and

I’m editing. Still. Again. That’s a lot of my life right now. Most of this manuscript was written in word-sprints when I was furloughed last spring, so it’s very much a mess. Eventually that mess caught up to me. I was unable to write the ending because I didn’t actually KNOW the rest of the

Staying Home, Week 6

Staying Home, Week 6

Monday Mornings Bite

Monday Mornings Bite

Mondays are hard. I try not to be one of those people living for the weekend, but the fact is, the weekends are MY time. And I want my time. Even more since I was furloughed for six weeks in April and May, and rediscovered just how GLORIOUS a large amount of me-time can be.

Planning My Days

I’ve resisted plans, routines, scheduling, for a very long time. Even now that I figured out they are good for me, and free me up for spontaneity, I still sabotage myself. But I want to be free! I want choices! I want to be completely paralyzed by options and do none of the things I
