Just Jot it July – Busyness

19 Comments

On Monday, Alex started camp, and silly me, I thought that meant I’d have time to myself this week.

Monday morning started at 4am, with a very excited camper. Most of my day was lost having a nap.

Tuesday wake-up time was better, but I still had to go to camp to feed him, since it’s not “allowed” at YMCA day camps for the employees to “do anything like giving kids medicine, etc.” …which apparently lumps in feeding my kid because he’s tube fed. … It’s FEEDING! You’re not going to overdose him! After that, I had to go and meet a real estate agent at my mother’s condo. I’m trying to sell it since she’s in a retirement home. The good news? I may be able to get $1,000 more for it now than I bought it for five years ago. (Yes, I own it. Long story.) (And yes, that’s only three zeros.)

Tomorrow, Alex’s brother, Fred, is going to feed him, but I have to go in the morning to bottle my white wine (at this point I’m thinking maybe that should be whine) (unless my dear dear best friend does it for me *bats eyelashes*) and then I’m picking up mom for a trip to the bank and the doctor. Woohoo! Fun times.

THURSDAY, I have 124 papers to deliver in the morning, then take a nice hour long drive to feed Alex because they’re going on a field trip that day, and an hour back home. To the same city I’m going to for my vacation on Friday. Because I needed to drive there twice.

But the bestest news is, I’m on vacation next week!! Four days and three nights in Kingston to do research/get inspired for my novels (I can say novels with a plural now, because I’m almost 8,000 words into the sequel) and then a week at home all by my lonesome. Isn’t that awesome??

Now all I have to do is get through the next couple of days.

P.S. For all you SoCS participants, I’ll be posting the prompt early Friday and scheduling my own Saturday SoCS post but I won’t be online for the weekend. More about that on Friday.

    I hope you enjoy your vacation. I think summers are busier than other seasons because there are so many activities going on, and for those of us who slack off of outings in the winter time, we have a lot more to do in this short season. Hence, summers are no longer my reward for getting through the winter. It’s the other way around. :-0

      Thanks very much for your well wishes, Debi. 🙂

    Geez! Woman, you just can’t seem to catch a break!! Is the four days and 3 nights really a rest?!

    In 5 years an increase of $1000 seems pitiful (I’d be crying) especially considering here in the NT (where I live) Costs of housing has raised considerably. To give you an idea. The apartment I previously lived in, was up for sale in 2005 for $90K (this is a two bedroom, 1 bathroom) It was recently valued at $490K – in 9 years!~ WTF (What the Fungus)

    I now live in a 4 bedroom home that cost $650 rent per week. (that was week) Suffice to say, I will not be buying in the NT anytime soon.

    Hope that you truly do get some rest soon!
