So Close
Aug 31, 2007 Blog General, Unordered Miscellany
When I began this journey 22 days ago to update my blog daily for 30 days, I really didn’t think that I’d make it. Hell, I became pretty excited that I was able to blog for one week straight. Now I’m sitting on top of 3 weeks of active blogging and the finish line is in sight.
Yet I almost quit. Tonight.
This has been one of those weeks where everything fell apart. Thursday was actually a pretty productive day, but the rest of the week I couldn’t keep my shit together no matter how hard I tried. I battled crisis after crisis on both the work and the home front day after day. Sadly I discovered that my crisis management skills are as reliable as FEMA. If I get too overwhelmed, I shut down. Especially at home.
How I managed to continue writing is beyond me. I look back at the posts this week and seriously wonder where those words came from. If one thing, I’ve learned that I can really tackle a task if I can stay focused on it. Being able to focus, though, is usually the source of most of my problems.
I so desperately wanted to just drop into my bed tonight without even turning on this damned computer. I’m mad at it for reminding me to write every time I walked by. It nagged even. I swear. Stupid machine. I hate it right now, but I know I’ll be thanking it in a week. It’s just easier to place blame when you’re tired and grumpy.
One week left. So close. I can’t quit now.
In other news, I got my Ford Exploder back from the transmission shop today. Transmission works great. But now my A/C doesn’t blow anything but hot air. Just my luck. Doesn’t help that the Vegas air outside my car averages 105 degrees this time of year.
