Trying to keep track

Today, I spent the day setting up a new project management system, complete with the learning curve. For a while now, I’ve been using Asana to keep track of my projects. At first, I really liked it. But lately, it’s gotten hard for me to see it and to find where everything is. I keep … Continue reading Trying to keep track

Taming of Office Cat

Probably because I woke up extra early this morning and got up before the pets came to get me up, Temmy didn’t try to break into my office first thing this morning. Today, she waited until after she’d been fed before trying to break in. I think it was her way of telling me to … Continue reading Taming of Office Cat

Out visiting

I headed out to a local craft show today. It feels really strange to be on the buying side of the table rather than the selling. I got to talk with some friends who were there vending. I probably should have stayed longer, but social anxiety kicked in and I had to get out. If … Continue reading Out visiting

Temmy’s not good, very bad day

Let me start by saying that she is fine and back to being happy. Although, she did take a deep nap this evening and snored awfully loudly. I thought it was one of the dogs snoring. She is currently sitting on my lap purring while I’m writing this. But it wasn’t a good day for … Continue reading Temmy’s not good, very bad day

I apologized to my phone today

Worked a bit on the newest story for Fenrir’s Tales today, but my heart just wasn’t in it. I stopped and had lunch, then I went to read and take a nap. The book I was reading is one that if I said the title, you’d know it. It’s non-fiction and highly overrated. It’s a … Continue reading I apologized to my phone today

Amaryllis and speed bumps

So it was back to the office today. Temmy was a little more curious today. I had to put up a barrier because she was obnoxious and I needed a moment to work without her trying to climb on everything. She was extremely smug when she found her way around that anyway. But, I did … Continue reading Amaryllis and speed bumps

Sometimes you just have to give in

Day 2 of my office being open and I didn’t go in there today at all. Today, I just had to take a moment to get caught up on several things I’ve been putting off. I have been doing bookkeeping since this morning. It really needed done. I didn’t realize that I’d already done a … Continue reading Sometimes you just have to give in

The office is open for play!

I dusted and moved back into my office today. Even though I call it my “office,” it’s really the room where I do my writing. I don’t call my writing “work” if I can help it. Writing and painting are fun creative acts that I enjoy, not work. Publishing, getting the creativity out to the … Continue reading The office is open for play!

A Loki Adventure #9 is done

I went to bed early again last night, but this time I set my alarms. With the time change, I knew that it would be really bad if I didn’t. Temmy still woke me up several minutes before the alarms went off (of course). When I finally looked at my clock to see what time … Continue reading A Loki Adventure #9 is done

Why didn’t I set my alarms?

I was tired last night and went to be extra early. I’d been hoping to get a few more pages read than normal, and I did, but not without having to re-read several paragraphs. As I was setting my sleep apps, I told myself to set the alarms like I always do, but I was … Continue reading Why didn’t I set my alarms?
