Daydreams

So it's Thursday. I've declared today an "I'm not leaving the house" day. Riiiight. I have so much running around to do tomorrow in preparation for my weekend trip that I may run a couple of quick errands today, like washing the car and running to the grocery store. Things I can do on this side of town without having to even bother with makeup. Of course, that would require me actually getting dressed. It's only 10:40 a.m. I just haven't made it that far!

So it's Thursday, and the way I see it, my week's almost over. I've been so busy this week and had days where I haven't even been home. I really figured I'd be bored out of my skull and itching to go back to work by now. I figured there would have been too much quality time with my Kindle and my back porch. I haven't made it there yet! What have I been doing? Oh. Lunches, coffee and dinners with friends and family. Shopping. (But we still have to do some clothes shopping for the kids.) Showing my car some love, so it doesn't leave me stranded. (I think it likes me a lot better now.) Things that needed to be taken care of that I usually can't squeeze into my day.

So I'm dusting my living room and reflecting on the week, how little of it is left, and the fact that the rest is going to be awesome but busy. And I'm thinking of my blog, and how much fun I'm having with it. It's so neat to be just going about the business of cleaning or whatever, have a thought or an idea, sit down to flesh it out, share it, and then go back to whatever I was doing. So I've decided: This is what I want my life to be. Writing, with time to take care of everything else. I spoke to a best-selling author once who grabs a big water bottle every morning, shuts the door to her office and writes from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. every day. I could get so much more done with those hours, especially when you eliminate driving time to the office. Now, how do I get there from here? LOL (Winning the lotto requires actually playing it, right? Darn!)

Okay. Musing over. Back to chasing dustbunnies. (They're evasive little buggers!) I'm really going to have to get dressed sometime today, but it will never happen sitting at the computer!
