Yesterday was a day of unexpected
obstacles. Nothing seemed to fit. I bought the pieces to go through the wall to
the chimney. (Remember the big hole in the wall?) Well, the hole didn't really
meet up with the chimney correctly, so I had to enlarge it. Enlarging it meant
spending nearly five hours swinging a five pound hammer. Yes I succeeded in making it the right size,
but today I am paying for the effort expended.
I had many chores on my to-do list
for today, but all were set aside in favor of the sacred Nap. It has been too
long since I honored the Goddess of the Nap and today she demanded her due.
After we walked the dogs I curled up on the couch and spend the day with the
Lady of Rest. I awakened again about four, somewhat refreshed and ready to face
the world once again. My beautiful partner changed the date on the to-do like
to Monday. Love her.
Okay, next post I will announce the
winners of the draw. Someone will win a $25.00 gift coupon from The Purple
Raven Boutique.
and someone will win a $25.00 coupon from Powder River Editing.
Now for round four of this year’s
ROW80 efforts. Life is extremely busy
right now, so I will try to keep the goals within reach.
Goals:
1.
Write 5000 words per week until first draft of
WIP is complete.
2.
Accept more requests for interviews. (Currently
I only do about one in five. Bad me! I’m told I need to open up and get over my
shyness.)
3.
Read and comment on at least one blog per day.
Well, that’s it
for me this time folks. If I manage to accomplish all the non-writerly things I
have on my plate I may add a few more, but for now, this is it. I wish you all great success with your goals
and if I can help you in any way, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Aha! Prudence, your timing is uncanny. I woke from my nap to find the notice of this Nap post in my inbox.
ReplyDeletehehehe Yep, sometimes we just have to go to the altar and nap to re-charge our batteries. Hope you enjoyed yours. :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling recharged, Prudence. Best of luck with your goals this round!
ReplyDeleteHi J.R., I do feel a lot better, so much so, I may just do it again today. For therapeutic reasons only, you understand. :)
DeleteLooks like you have some good goals for ROW80. I failed so badly in the last round, I'm not sure I'm up for trying it again. I do want to set goals for myself, though.
ReplyDeleteHey Alana, don't beat yourself up over it girl. It doesn't always work. The idea is to set the goals so they are attainable without killer stress. They can be adjusted anytime if life takes a sudden twist. (As it often does) Another trick I have found helpful is to enlist a friend who will nag you to keep you on track.
DeleteGive it another chance; give yourself another chance to succeed. You can do it, yes you can!
Ah, the much nap. We all need those once in a while.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the stove install. And the writing goals!

Hi Patricia. Yep, the nap was so restorative I'm giving consideration to making it a daily ritual. hee hee hee
DeleteNice goals, Prudence. Somehow I never thought of you as shy, at least not online. Best of luck with the stove install, sounds like a "colorful language" inspiring task to me :)
ReplyDeleteHi Gene. Yes, I learned a lot of "carpenter's language" from my brother. It took the full vocabulary to get this far. tee hee
