I write this after having a day of unplanned relaxation. It wasn’t my intention; Sunday and Monday were epic workdays where I made major headway on framing the arguments for my current thesis chapter, as well as outlining tell me no lies. However, I woke up to sunshine streaming through my windows. Given that the past few weeks have looked like this…
That is rain on the window. Yes, in AUGUST.
and this…
Mid-day, and already dark and dreary. Ugh.
…it’s little surprise that I abandoned working for laying out in the backyard with a book.
As a result, I’m slightly behind on my writing goals, which means I need to write roughly 3200 words today to catch up. I’m a little worried about how things are going to go this weekend, as I’ve been tapped to drive to Los Angeles so I can help my mom move my sister into her new apartment before school starts. We’ll be staying at my apartment in Santa Barbara to help break up the trip a little bit, which is definitely exciting — I miss my deck garden, and I left a few things behind that I’d like to pick up. Still, I’m not sure exactly how much I’m going to get done, so I am resigning myself to the fact that I might not make 50K by the end of the month.
However, not all was fun and games today! I wrote a silly blog post about my first story, and more importantly, I finally battled the mess of my Google reader.
