Not so weekly accountability post
Jun. 26th, 2021 02:01 pmWell, I tried. Jana got to go out of town to visit friends and family and it was going to be my catch -up and deal with things week. So, of course, I socialized most of the weekend and got deathly ill with my first head cold in nearly two years on Tuesday. I'm still not recovered and have inevitably lost my voice. I am supposed to do a reading and interview on a Facebook group tomorrow so today is frantic throat-soothing things in hopes that I recover in time. I am wildly behind on everything I have due, but I have discovered "Murder, She Wrote," so there's that? I went through many years where I either did not have a TV or only had one that picked up PBS so there are many popular shows that I have never seen.
What else is going on?
What else is going on?
- I had a delightful time at Madame Askew and Her Temporal Entourage's "Queer Steampunk" chat last Friday. I drank a lot of tea and talked a bunch, often two of my favorite things.
- I went to see "In the Heights' at the Riverview Theatre and enjoyed it quite a bit!
- I went to an in person play! Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society continues to rock (I saw all of their online shows during shutdown).
- I picked up another couple of events for July and August, plus one for tomorrow (assuming I can talk). These include a teaching gig at the Novel in Progress Book Camp in August (see pinned post for links, etc.).
- I talked to a couple of recruiters and looked at some job sites.
- I met with my small biz attorney, who said confidence-boosting things.
- I saw a couple of friends outside, while taking lots of cold meds and using a bunch of hand sanitizer.
- I coughed a lot and have had trouble sleeping. We are now taking the popular approach of "Catherine sleeps on the couch so she can cough a lot in peace without disturbing Jana AND entertain the cats who will spend the night leaping upon her drugged into oblivion except for waking up to cough body." Good times!
- Finished developmental edits on one of our forthcoming books.
- Worked on getting another one ready for ARC formatting (in progress).
