Ye Olde Blogge

Seriously. I got up at 6:35 this morning, but I couldn’t bear to write. I think, like profgrrrl, I work in bursts. Plus, I was downright tired. I think I can still make my goal of 15 pages this week, perhaps tonight and tomorrow. I wrote 27 pages one week, so I know I can…

Just joining in: Roe v. Wade Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure

Yeah, I ignored it. I watched my Tivo’d Amazing Race. Thankfully Bitch Ph.D. didn’t ignore it, and what she says sums up my reasons for not watching it. I feel completely powerless. And not just because the dems lost the election and now we have Bush again (that should be enough, but there’s more). I…

Total pages this week: 3 Running total: 3 I managed it! I didn’t really want to get out of bed this morning. I was all warm and cozy, but coffee was waiting for me and so I dragged myself out and down the stairs. I re-read the previous page and made some minor edits. I…

Well, here I am again, feeling too tired to write. I might still do it, but as of right now, I’m thinking I’m going to get up in the morning and do it. I was thinking about this yesterday. If I just got up 1/2 hour early, I’d have an hour before everyone else rouses…

Total pages written this week: 1 Running total: 1 I am struggling to keep up at work. It is a good and a bad thing. The fact that I’m struggling actually means that I’m doing a key part of my job and people are starting to come to me for projects and help. However, I’m…

Why, oh, why, can’t I get a handle on paperwork? Why do I wait until the pile is overflowing, spilling into the floor, before I go through it? I wish I could hide away from people at work today, so I can get some things done. Want to make a trip to the library and…

One of the things the NYT article implied, but didn’t outright state, was that blogging was a little selfish. It was taking away time from the kids. I’ve been thinking about this lately, simply because my own extracurricular activities have taken some time away from things I could be doing with the kids. And the…
