I’m just sitting here in the relative silence, ignoring the thousands of random thoughts, to-do list items, and NaNoWriMo story ideas that are flitting above my head, begging to be caught and tagged. Most of them have probably been “tagged” (written down) anyway, but I’m just too tired to collect them.
It’s a busy week. I suddenly have two interviews, along with two new tutoring students, one who decided to be a beast today, and the other is just, well, adorable (in kindergarten with developmental delays and I LOVE HER). I have to try to bring The Boy back down to Earth to get final assignments in to his current school before the Big Switch on Monday, while also prepping him on two new pieces of band music for a concert with his new band class the week after next. I also have to see his new doctor about getting him out of his PE requirement so he can even have band, and darn it, I didn’t turn in that library book. What am I going to make with that chicken sitting in the sink defrosting? I haven’t written a thing today, meaning I’m exactly 1667 words behind, and now my projected end date will be past the November 30 deadline if I don’t do something about it. I have that registration paperwork to complete and get back to the new school, too, and when am I going to pick up the new tuba? I’ve committed to helping The Man paint at his current work site, but I think I can only work a half day tomorrow, and not at all on Thursday, due to interviews and other stuff. We really should get a new gas tank and hookup before cooking Thanksgiving dinner. And I have to wash these jeans – they can probably stand on their own by now. Speaking of washing, The Boy’s hair is way overdue…
Hm. How ’bout that? Got ’em tagged after all, didn’t I? I’m sure I missed some, floating up there…
