Tax Day is looming, and the week is slipping away from me like water through a sieve. Already it's Wednesday evening and the week is more than half over.
But first, an update on last week. After I wrote my post about my goals for the week, Izzy took another turn. We ended up switching her food altogether as I couldn't be sure anymore that it wasn't just that food, especially since there were a lot of reports in my feline diabetes Facebook group that the same food was causing problems for other people, too.
After that she went back to normal, but it was another distraction in an already difficult week. So while I managed to achieve some of my goals last week, I didn't accomplish everything I wanted. I didn't make any further progress on my Square site, since I didn't have time or spoons to take pictures, and I didn't work on dolls or taxes for the same reason.
What I did accomplish was working on my novel every day. I'm actually pretty pleased with how it's going, as I feel like I'm doing good work on both the novel and the re-creation of a daily writing habit.
As for this week, to be fair I did expect Monday to be a wash, as we spent the day at the museum to see the partial eclipse. Yesterday shouldn't have been a surprise either, as I had plans to meet a friend at the barn to ride together, and that often leaves me tired afterward. Thanks to the write-in we had scheduled in the evening, though, I still got a substantial amount of writing done.
And today I had a meeting at the Denver Museum of Miniatures, Dolls & Toys to talk about future plans for more doll events, some errands to run, and a babysitting gig in the evening.
The rest of the week (what little of it is left) will be similarly busy, unfortunately. I am babysitting some more (unexpected, though the income isn't unwelcome) and I have another ride planned with my friend.
I feel like at this point, the week is a goner and I just need to focus any remaining time on the most pressing of goals:
- Work on taxes
- Write every day
Yes, I still want to make sure I work on my novel at least a little every day, but other than that, I'm going to try to spend any free time I have between now and Friday on taxes. This weekend we have very few plans, so I should be able to devote most of that time to taxes.
Since Tax Day is Monday, I anticipate I'll be working on it still then, and probably won't officially start my week until Tuesday again.
See you on the other side!
