...and forgot how busy I am.
Last week, a friend of mine from NaNoWriMo posted on Facebook, "Does anyone know how to change brakes?" I'm no more humble than I am practical, so of course I immediately announced that I do!
I'm sure you see where this is going. I, somehow, missed it, so I had kind of a "headdesk" reaction when she immediately messaged me asking if I'd help her do her brakes. They were grinding and she didn't have enough money to take it to a shop.
Well, of course I wasn't going to back out then — how selfish would that be? — so I agreed to help. And so that's what I did yesterday afternoon.
Predictably, I got very little work done yesterday. We did the work in my parents' garage (hubby and I don't have one), and afterward I went to the Barnes & Noble cafe with my mom and to the barn to ride Panama.
It wasn't a bad day by any means, and I didn't have anything pressing to do so the timing was right. But it's also been over a week since I added any word count to my novel, so I feel a bit guilty for not working on it. My week is shaping up to be a busy one, in a non-work related way, so I'll have to be pretty determined if I'm going to carve out some time to work on that novel!
