July 12, 2005 - Gettin' it all done

I managed to get Tina from the airport tonight around 6:30, and got her home around 7. I then did some various home improvement projects, trying to make the world livable for Tina again (she "won't live in a construction zone", so I do my best to get it all cleaned up before she gets back, and I consistently fail). That lasted until about nine, when I sat down to write. I was supposed to meet Kirk and the gang at Jenni's but I never got a call that they were in until about 9:45, so I just got stuff done. It worked out well in the end. At the moment, it's around 1 AM, so this gets to be my journal entry for the 12th.

I've been looking through old journal entries and getting them posted or converting them from paper to electronics. I've also been kicking the crap out of ADF stuff for the past week, getting loads done on the Dedicant training pages, the GSP pages, and the Grove Organizer's Handbook and Oak Leaves. I'm setting myself up for a good break, I hope. I think I won't be refilling slots in my schedule as I finish projects. It's about time for a good spring cleaning.

I've been spending a lot of time on my back porch, laptop plugged in and writing. It's helped me get a lot of writing done, including three new stories which will be unveiled in good time.

I was also contacted by a writer for Paramount for a writing sample. That bothers me on some level. I'm not sure what it is, but I don't want to write professionally. I have better things to do with my time. I think I just don't see writing as an "honest living", and think that, in general, people who do it expect society to care about them and give them cash for whatever they do.

I think tonight might be a good night for a dip in the hot tub. It's been a while since I was in it last. I don't like using the hot tub when Tina's around because her window looks out into it, and I feel bad if I'm having fun with friends and she's in there trying to sleep.

Ah, hell. It's my hot tub. I'm goin' in!

Later edit in the day:

Well, you know me. I'm not big on birthdays, but I'm really big on packages. As such, I was a bit put out when I found out that it was Erien's birthday after the fact.

My hatred for such occasions is only surpassed by my love of mailing.
