Yesterday, hubby decided that we were going to re-arrange our bedroom. Ick. I sooooo did not want to bother. I liked everything more or less where it was, and the arrangement of the doors (and the panel to get into the bathroom plumbing, and the huge but poorly placed window) make arranging the room not so easy. Especially since we have 3 dressers between us, 2 of which are of the wide but short variety. And a mini fridge, a tv stand masquerading as a bedside table, and a vanity that hubby wouldn’t let me throw out.

Ok, I’m rambling. Point is, I haven’t written anything for a few days, either too busy or too tired. What I am doing (today) is going through the huge stack of notes that we writers seem to gather like ticks to sheep (how’s that one Travis?). I’ve been meaning to do this for literally months, but just never get around to it.

So, I spent an hour or so typing notes into various files in my word processor, and I still have a stack left to add in there. It seems to be the good energy that comes along with starting another project. You know? One project leads to another. We re-arranged and started cleaning our bedroom, so now I’m cleaning up the paper mess that I keep on my bedside table. Maybe next weekend I can get to the closet! Um, or not.

I think closet cleaning is pushing it a bit.

Half the weekend was spent getting a new phone plan and phones, but I still feel like we got a lot accomplished. And we spent the whole weekend together, which was the goal. Usually I’m so desperate to find a way to make enough off freelancing and finishing my novel (yeah right- make enough after my day job?) that I end up ignoring hubby almost every weeknight, and most of the weekend. Sometimes you just have to stop and pay attention to what’s most important.

So please forgive me if I’m not as prolific as I’ve been lately, I’m working on that whole balance thing. I doubt anyone truly achieves balance, but I think this is one of those things where making the effort is what matters. Then again, usually when I swear off writing, I end up writing more. I’m good with that too.
