This summer I have a long list of writing projects to get done. I have not worked on them at all. I submitted one article for a contest but aside from that nothing. I need to get focused. It just seems like there is so much going on I have no time to consider my writing tasks.
At work, my department is moving. This week is filled with finishing the packing process and prepping for the movers. They are coming on Monday to take all of our stuff upstairs. It may be a bit of a crazy week plus for myself and the student workers. Of course there are some things that can be packed in my office now and other things that have to wait for the last minute. The problem is making the judgement call on each item.
Last weekend I visited Vicki which was great. I also discovered a less expensive way to travel to visit the other two girls in Georgia – that is SUPER exciting. The cost savings means instead of going down every other year we may be able to go down every year and possibly more often then that.
This weekend I am hoping to get some of my craft room and office organized. I have a number of tasks to get done and hopefully can make some good progress. Hopefully I can work on a system for keeping track of my writing projects – where they are, leads, and so on. I’ve got ideas in my head but at the same time I haven’t solidified what I want done. One of the things I want to do this weekend is to sort through all my available yarn and put it into the bins that Ken set up for me (it is a wire crate type set of shelves). This will make it easier for me to see what I have which will lead to me not buying yarn unless I need it rather than guessing that I might need it. The crafter in my head is saying you always need more yarn – there can never be enough yarn, but I’m gagging her (or trying to) and being a responsible adult.
I have a friend coming out to have lunch and chat. I’m looking forward to her visit as we always have a good time together. Ken will be off with his brother cutting up wood. It will be just us girls. I’m excited for this as I don’t often get time with friends just to hang out.
Hopefully all of the activities this weekend will be multiple steps towards getting some of these writing projects and tasks done. My biggest obstacle at this point is my messy office and that will be my focus this weekend. Then I can hopefully post (somewhere) a list of things to get done and start crossing them off.
