Best laid plans and all that
So, I had the awesome intention of getting a boatload of work done today. I did the Mom thing in the morning, got the kid fed, ran a few errands. Then I printed out my Work In Progress (WIP) and started reading, red pen in hand. The specific plan was to fix the chapters so I know where the heck I'm going next. Things are feeling a little gooshy, with some chapters that rock and others that are possibly off track and need to be moved or deleted or something.
I fell asleep for
three hours. This is one of the problems with sleep deprivation. Rats.
It's a darn good thing I set my alarm because gosh knows how long I'd have slept. My son had soccer tryouts at 5:30 so I got up just in time to get us ready for that plus dash outside to get some daffodils. They're in bloom at last. Now I have a bouquet in my room and two others elsewhere in the house. Lovely.
After I dropped him off at the tryouts and got his number pinned to his back I realized that I had my laptop and my manuscript (MS) with me but NOT my purse. Uh oh. That shot the two hours I was going to spend sitting at Starbucks... No money. No phone. Rats. So I went home and made cookies for his lunch, but I made them extra big so I had fewer batches, thus finishing in time to go pick him up and listen to the usual competitive soccer hoo-ha, which I've heard before now. Whatever.
I guess the MS is going to the gym with me tomorrow morning.
