Back in January we donated a dinner that we'd put on for eight people. We set the date in February if I remember correctly. Well, it's tomorrow night. Bad, bad planning on my party, but I really hadn't planned on having a book due when I set the date.
It's a Texas BBQ theme. As of ten o'clock this morning, I'd done nothing to get ready except send email reminders to the guests. I called hubby from Crossfit and told him to call three of the couples since I hadn't gotten a reply to my reminder. I spent the rest of the day trying to get ready for the party. It's been hell. I'm still not done.
Of course, my editor wanted ideas for the cover which I emailed tonight. There are more pages to write though I set a very minimal goal for myself on Thursday and Friday so should have no trouble reaching that. In case you're wondering I've yet to write a word, but since I didn't blog yesterday wanted to at least do something tonight. And I really can crank out three pages pretty fast since I've had a scene in my head most of the day.
I did Crossfit today. That's the one thing I've been making time for especially since my climbing partner has been two busy to climb. I'm still feeling sore from the Thrusters I did on Tuesday. Ouch!
Warm-up: 750 m row
Skills: Sumo deadlift high press (SDHP)
Workout: 2 Rounds of Run, 10 SDHP (10 lbs barbell) and 10 air squats.
Cool down: Roll my way-too-tight legs and hips
Hope all is going well in your corner of the world. I'm feeling very isolated and alone right now. I really hate deadline time.

We're here, we're here!! You're not alone...
Hang in there. I think things happen in waves, so when this tsunami is past, it'll be smooth sailing.
*G*
I agree with Marianne. There's usually a squall before clear weather. You're in the squally time, but once this is past you'll be loving the sunshine! :)
And you're not alone...we're here, urging you to succeed, applauding every step forward and so understanding each time the pages don't all get written or something diversionary comes up. But you know, this dinner sounds like it is going to be fun. Maybe a breather would be a good thing about now?
Sending heaps of good thoughts your way! :)
Yep, we are all here for you.
Summer has made an unwelcome appearance here. Hot and humid. Hot and dry I could cope with, but I really loathe, hate, and despise humidity.
Other than that, it's pretty boring at our house. :)
I understand the feeling isolated and alone thing. But, I hope you know how much we are here for you! Sending Hugs!
Acck - you can do it, Melissa! Don't you think these times really prove the saying "it never rains, only pours?" :P
Deadlines seam realing stressing!
Good luck :) Though I am sure you have the situation under control!!
You are writing and still are able to do this crossfit :-) They really say great mind in good body!
