A day of blah
Posted by mofembot Sun, 28 Sep 2008 10:35:00 GMT
Just one of those focus-free kinds of days following a big push to meet a ridiculously tight deadline. I’m feeling the usual spasm of guilt for not having written anything for-frickin’ ever on this site, and I am similarly feeling that I ought to make a Firm Resolution to Do Better. I should be writing more.
Since the last time I made an entry here, I have been to Russia and the Baltic States with my parents and husband and one out of three daughters. (Well, okay, husband and daughter went only to Russia and to Riga.) The days/hours leading up to our departure were filled with getting work done for my client, and the days/hours after our return were spent in similar fashion right up to this past Friday’s deadline.—And with running back and forth to the Marseille airport and environs (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday). That’s a lot of running around, especially when I include the side-trip taking my parents to the Pont du Gard (fabulous Roman aqueduct) and Nîmes after dropping off daughter at school and hubby at airport on Monday.
I am tired, dissatisfied with my inability to get Truly Organized (where the hell did I put those grommets???)… and trying hard not to be too worried about the global financial meltdown and its possible implications for future employment, the upcoming US election, health, and so on.
Despite my instincts for preserving my deathless prose, this is one entry that may indeed find itself on the cutting-room floor. Bleargh.
