Wendy's Week

Decent week, all in all.

Good stuff:
- Got to work by 9 each day except one. I don't remember which one it was, but I got into my office at 9:15. Put in a total of 23.25 hours between writing and the day job.
- Speaking of writing, got about 1200 words in. It was mostly editing. Hoping to get more forward progress this week. I'd love it if the draft was done before I leave for the Deep Thinkers Retreat in a couple weeks.
- Went shopping for tartans. Didn't find any. Well, yeah, I did, but one was a wool/poly blend. The other I didn't check the fiber content because it was pink and black. I didn't think Eric would want to wear that one. Looks like I'll be e-mailing my favorite rendezvous vendor for swatches.
- Met with rendezvous friends last night for dessert. They were on their way home from FL and delivered the stoves we ordered while we were there. One is a cook stove (18th century style Coleman), and the other goes inside the tent for heat. Eric wants to use the tax refund to order a tent more to his liking than the one my dad gave us. I'm okay with free, but I think the style he wants to get will be easier to put up. Even if it's not, well, he wants what he wants, and if it gets him to rendezvous, I'll play nice.
- I'm a great aunt as of yesterday. My niece, Lauren, had a little boy, Caleb Allen. I don't have any other particulars other than it was a long labor but everyone seems to be fine and should be home tomorrow or the next day.
- Even though I only swam twice, I did go for a walk on the third day. It was 66* and seemed a better use of my time.

Not so good stuff:
- Still haven't put away my rendezvous clothes.
- No decluttering to speak of. I was impressed that I managed to keep the kitchen as clean as I did.
- Not sure why the new schedule kicked my butt the way it did. By Friday night I was so burned out I ordered a glass of wine with dinner before I could stop myself.
- Didn't get as much done on the house as I would have liked because I was focused on "office" work. Not sure how to achieve a better balance unless I project a few extra hours a week for housework and call them work hours.

This week:
- Get tax stuff together
- Focus on the house a little more
- Progress on the book
- Do the stuff I meant to do last week and didn't
- Work 25 hours

It sure feels like my week was busier than that, but it's all I'm coming up with. Maybe this week I'll get my brain back in gear.
