Regarding overwhelming everydayness

I’ve worked, on average, 55-60 hours a week for the past month and a half.

I’ve had many headaches. I’ve lost many hours of sleep.

I am trying to create more hours in my day. I am weaning myself off of social media (Facebook is work. I’m not looking for another job.), though leaving one usually means an upswing in another. (Goodbye Facebook? Hello, Twitter.)

I taught my last class for the semester this week. I have one more faculty meeting, then one computer meeting, then that’s it.

I have two large AP projects to work on this month, one of which will be announced in July (I hope). Once those are finished, I am devoting myself at finishing the fourth draft of my novel and reading as much as I can to prepare for the fall.

Hold me to this, internet. Help me keep this promise—

I will finish the next draft of Conjoined States;

I will read ten books between June 23 and August 27;

I will spend time enjoying where I live;

I will catch up on sleep.
