Monday Mumblings
Fresh (almost) daily from
Julie Barrett
It's Monday and I'm swamped. kthxbye.
Really, I should drop everything and write an entry at least once a day, even if it's a short entry.
Took
something to help me sleep last night, and still didn't sleep. This
business of not sleeping during the week and attempting to catch up on
weekends is getting really old.
Got about halfway though the
audio play yesterday and petered out. Perhaps I can finish it off
today, after I get other work done.
Friday we drove down into
Dallas to pick up a new belt for the dryer. $18 for that, and another
$38 for a replacement lint filter. The filter worked...sort of. The
handle had broken off and Paul had repaired the screen two or three
times. It was ready to be replaced. The first thing I noticed was that
this filter has a more sturdy screen. Yay.
Then we took off to
the Half Price Books flagship store and rummaged around. I picked up a
CD for my "golden throats" collection. I don't just collect bad food! I
collect bad music, too! And speaking of bad food, I found a book full
of amazing, unappetizing pictures for What Is It? Wednesday use. I plan
to hit the Plano Half Price Books today. Chris is going to attempt to
take a course online today, so I'll be nice and leave him with a quiet
house. Make me go to the bookstore. Twist my arm. Okay, I'll go.
Work
for Fencon continues apace. If you've ever been to a genre convention,
you may have an idea of what goes on behind the scenes. Really, it's
like putting together any other type of event. Meeting spaces must be
arranged. Speakers must be engaged (and we hope they're engaging!).
Schedules must be planned. We generally have 80+ guests and program
participants every year and several tracks of programming, which means
there's a lot to coordinate. As Programming Chair, a lot of that work
falls under my responsibility. I have people to help, and I've been
building some software tools to assist all of us in running the event.
Still, it's a huge amount of work.
Speaking of which, it's
nearly noon. I've finally just caught up on my morning correspondence
and managed a start on laundry. Better go grab a little lunch and work
some more...

I can sympathize with the whole sleep dilemma, I've had the same problem in recent months and can't quite figure it out. Feel like I could pass right out during the day but then at night it's all waking up and tossing and turning. What gives!
