I don’t know why you say good-bye, I say hello
By Me | December 16, 2006
So, yeah … where was I?
We have a furnace now. Ahhhhhh … Warmth is nice, isn’t it? Warmth in December in the Catskills is not only nice, it’s important.
But now that’s done, I can change the subject.
God, I’m tired! I don’t even really know why I’m so exhausted …
[Well, shit, Dawn, no reason why you should be feeling pooped, is there? Spouse remains fixed in his cave, climbing into his monitor watching Japanese anime; paranoid schizophrenia in first born male child is always a snap to deal with, of course; first born female child stresing out about going off to college next year and having to start a life (scary stuff) and you’re trying to be supportive and failing miserably; second born female child just barely saved from yet another nervous breakdown as we figure out the latest terminally stupid thing that teachers did and youngest regularly skirting death just because that’s the phase he’s going through right now; reveues are down and we’re desparately trying to sell a few books, getting lots of AdWords clicks (which are costing money) but not making any sales (which means not making money), not to mention all the fun of installing osCommerce and lots of plugins, plus trying to cover small business news when nothing has been happening since before the election … nope, no reason why you should be tired … ]
But you didn’t come here to listen to me whine, did you?
I’ll be publishing the last issue of my newsletter for the year. I don’t get to go on vacation because I have a bunch of projects I need to get done.
I have eight manuscripts to read between now and New Year’s Day.
I have web site maintenance stuff to do before New Year’s Day, too … and I don’t just mean date changes, either.
And I have business maintenance stuff to do. And computer maintenance stuff to do.
Welcome to Dawn’s Vacation. I won’t promise any pictures; they probably wouldn’t be pretty anyway.
The Long and the Short of It is that I haven’t had a minute to scratch my ass lately. Or at least, that’s how it feels to me.
That pisses me off.
But then … sometimes, I think maybe I have unrealistic expectations of myself.

I have a ton of projects on the burner myself. I see November and December as “preparations for 2007″. (It’s gonna be our year, you’ll see!)
btw, did you ever catch this thread on Problem Adults?

Well, geez … you know, I do have submissions guidelines posted on both my book sites.
‘Fraid I missed that thread, pumpkin — and that’s saying something, considering all the yelling!
I figure 2007’s gotta be my year. It couldn’t possibly get any worse.

Yay for the heat finally,
you are the hardest woring woman in town. Just remember your family loves you, and that love holds you all together.
Take a breath babe, you deserve a break.
Good things are coming…
