Mon. July 22, 2024: Intent for the Week — Restore & Recalibrate

That is not a photo of the New Girl — it’s a stock photo. New Girl is a muted tortoiseshell, with lots of gray and black. I suspect there’s some Siamese in there, too. Double the ‘tude — and she definitely gives excellent side eye.

I’m going to stay fairly quiet this week, focus on the work, not do much outside of the house. I need to rest; as I age, I need more recovery time, and last week was a lot. I also need to take what I learn, apply it to what I’ve been learning in the Capacity Building Program, and make some decisions.

There’s follow up, there are proposals and LOIs to head out the door, there’s a short story to write, an article to work on, edits to deal with, a book to review, and script coverage work.

I know I was exposed to COVID on Saturday afternoon (the person let me know they tested positive last night), and I was probably exposed several times in the city. Isolation for a few days is the safe choice. “Resting and testing” are my watchwords this week, and trusting that vaccines work. I know I was exposed twice in the last month, and the vaccines held, so let’s hope that remains true. Other than being tired (which is understandable), I feel fine. Let’s hope it continues, although symptoms probably wouldn’t show up for another day or two. I don’t HAVE to be anywhere until Saturday, and then Sunday is the poem, so, fingers crossed.

What’s your intent for the week?
