Panic Mode

After the madness of Authors After Dark, there was nothing left for me to do except pack to move to Ireland. This I regard with a great deal of alarm and no shortage of panic. Moving to another country is an exciting idea that makes me very happy, but the reality of sorting, packing and discarding my belongings is a tedious and seemingly endless process that someone of my lazy nature would prefer to avoid.

Why I don't have minions to do this, I don't know!

I've been so panic stricken by the process and trying to organise everything that I forgot to blog today! I can't believe that! It's so difficult to balance things with the pressure of the brevity of time left and the need to write nonetheless. Yesterday while I would normally be writing my blog in leisurely moments, I was sorting out my office which my replacement has to use while I'm gone so I couldn't leave all those papers unfiled, piles of books to deal with and general chaos. I am happy to report that the desk is once more visible and the floor free of papers hastily dropped instead of filed.

But things are less orderly at home and I am tired of all the voices in my head giving me conflicting opinions about what I should be doing first and confusing me >_< which is why I forgot to blog. The sudden realisation that it was Sunday and I ought to have had my post ready to go yesterday at last hit me. Last night, when I meant to do the post, I got distracted by a theme sparking on Twitter that lead to a micro fiction piece which I wrote, polished, debated and then sent off to a contest that I had just been reminded about. Then I worked on another story that's due soon because I was on a roll and all thought of the blog got jettisoned in favour of new idea, shiny.

Hmmm, maybe I need some guest posts for the near future! Volunteers? Meanwhile, I'm going to get back to packing while I watch some of my favourite comedy (the genius Peter Cook) to try to keep me from getting too crazy with panic.
