It's after 4pm and I've done almost no (paying) work today. I have done a workshop, gone to a yoga class, and bought groceries. Now I'm very tired. Instead of working, I think I'll take the dog for a walk. (I'm going to end up working until midnight.)

I’m taking a shuttle to the ATL airport to avoid driving to a conference and it’s so nice. I’m in a comfy van, reading, sipping coffee and enjoying the sunrise. It’s only a two hour drive but I’m glad not to do it.

I didn't quite get everything done that I wanted to have done by today, but I did enough. Tomorrow will be a very long day, full of things that are a little bit intimidating, Friday for recovering and following up. It's still smokey but also beautiful.

I'm giving myself a little pep talk, and maybe it will help you, too. It's afternoon and you don't have much work left, but you need to get it done. After that, you can exercise, take a nice walk, enjoy dinner, knit, read, putter in the garden. Just get this last bit finished. Money is necessary.

Tonight, I discovered the song Pumped Up Kicks is 15 years old and, well. That seems wrong. Time is weird, and getting weirder.

Today I was the recipient of a gift that made me cry. It's been a really good week, full of surprise opportunities, recognizing my own fear and doing the things anyway.

As the weekend winds down, I’m reflecting on some good things: we went to a party & saw loved ones & friends in person. It was glorious. I met with my in person writing group after a week off & my story was still right there, patiently sitting in my brain. The weather has been wonderful for 2 days.

It finally quit raining for a whole day.

Why is it so much easier to think about how to get my life together than it is to just do the things that will result in my life being together? (I might be having a bit of a bad brain day)

Need some motivation. I have two short annoying things to write. I'm trying to do them in 20 mins or less each. First one starts at 4:35 with a goal of being done by 4:55. Will report back.

I hate privet. The smell, the invasiveness, the horrible headaches it causes. I see people in plant groups raving about the "wonderful" smell and the beauty of the blooms but it's awful. Horrible. Very bad. Zero stars.

Weird little mushrooms.

It's been a delightful chat, #FreelanceFriends! Thanks @wellfedwriter.bsky.social and @phendrickson.bsky.social for asking and answering such good questions. I'm off to find some lunch :)

I seem to have opted for tortilla chips and a slice of cheese for dinner. Some days that’s how it goes.

Whew. It hasn't been a hard day or anything, but the tired hit hard about 30 minutes ago. I have a short thing to write, and I want to practice playing flute for a little while before I pile up on the sofa. Just a few steps instead of miles.
