So Much to Do, So Little Time

I need to figure out what I’m going to write for my August Story because I really need to have it done by August 29th or so. Basically, before I leave for DragonCon. It would best to have it posted by the weekend before because once the week starts I’ll have Graphic Novel Book Club on Monday night, work late on Tuesday, and I’ll need to make sure I’m properly packed on Wednesday so that I can leave after work on Thursday. I also need to see if Casey can pick up my stuff for me. And I need to grab her congratulations card too since she just finished grad school. The dollar stor would probably be a good place to start. I’ll need some strong glue, silver pain, maybe a good black paint too. I should poke around their stuff and see if I see anything I could spray paint part of me wants to get a baseball bat and spray it different colors and then add like Saturn’s Glyph in purple, but I’ve only got two weeks to put all this shit together, and that includes writing my August story.

I’m tired--which is pretty much the norm and no more so than usual--and hungry and battling a headache and I have to pee and I’m stuck at this desk for another forty-five minutes by myself. I don’t mind being alone except I don’t want to work with kids and there isn’t anyone to watch my stuff when I go to the bathroom. I know I had the potential to be bored, and probably would be at least part of the time I’m great at gifting quietly when I can read or write which is exactly why I decided to bring my notebook and planner with me. I wonder if I’ll ever be able to read any of this later. That is the problem with handwriting stuff. It’s nearly impossible for me to figure out what exactly I wrote later. It’s hard to count words and I really need to get to my word goal today, preferably a little extra since I was about one hundred shy last night of my goal for the daily count this week. That’s another thing I need to do before DragonCon, meet my writing goal for the month. I’ll be cool if I can get extra. It would be amazing to get some writing done while I’m in Atlanta but I don’t want to count on having the time or energy to do it.

I have spent an incredible amount of time texting on my Apple Watch today--it makes me so thankful to have it because it’s allowed me to fangirl about DragonCon with some of my partners in crime. Stuff like this makes it well worth the money I paid for it. I know it’s not one of life’s necessities, but it’s just so convenient not to have to always pull out my phone to read a text or text back. I can change the volume or a song. I can play a game of solitaire or start a timer. One of the best things is that since I also use it to help me track myself, is that it helps me get up in the morning when my alarm gets off by making noise as well as vibrating on my wrist.
