Slip sliding away
Thursday, February 14, 2008
Happy VD everyone! Share the love, not the cooties!
Mother Nature is not my friend at the moment. She's placed significant amounts of ice in my way, making walking anywhere a pain -- and it's totally not helping with the wrecked ankle and pulled tendon. Ouch.
But enough about my bum leg. My reference to slip sliding away is how I feel my time has been going lately. Sure, I'm sitting at the keyboard and getting stuff done, but it seems to be taking me a lot longer than before to hammer out a page, an article or a query letter.
Maybe this is one of those lack-of-daylight-cause-its-winter things. Or maybe I'm slowing down in my (gasp) old age.
:::wipes away a tear gently so as not to strain the delicate skin around my eyes:::
Or perhaps things always took this long, but I never realized it before. Shoot, if that's the case, I really need to be careful about how I pile on the projects. Seriously, I'm breaking into a sweat just thinking about what I have left to do this month.
And for those in the province of Ontario, Monday is a holiday. It's Family Day -- our first one ever -- and despite the lame name (I was hoping for Rock On Day or What Would Madonna Do Day), it's a much-needed break for those on the 9-5 train. For me, it doesn't change anything since I'll still be sitting at the computer, staring at the screen until my forehead bleeds again. ;)
So tell me, are you findng yourself in a February slowdown?

Not to mention less time stuck on GO Trains trying to get home.
I just need to keep my eye on the prize - Cuba in April. One blessed week where the only thing I need to to is revise the fekking manuscript that I fekking need to finish before I go.
