Cat-Opoly

This weekend was both productive and relaxing.

Friday night I worked on Call of the Siren character questionnaires. 

Saturday I had a practice Zoom call with Ed and Nancy Calkins (they feel ready for Calkins Day) followed by a Zoom call with our accountant for taxes, which are ready to go.

That was followed by some marketing and some more work on those character questionnaires.

Sunday Rebekah and I packed the Christmas trees away. She cleaned house; I got some work done.

She played video games; I read.

And we started a game of Cat-Opoly, a present from Jasmine at Christmas.



Although I was having a pretty mellow day, I did want to do something away from a screen (and away from reading) before I went back to work on Monday.

My resolve intensified when Rebekah pointed out that I've spent so much time in front of my computer over this past year (and especially over the past few weeks since I've broken my toe), that I have a worn spot where I plant my feet.



The nice thing about living with grown children and senior cats is that we can finally set up a game and leave it.

So we did - with plans to pop back into it, here and there, over the week.

And speaking of Calkins Day, registration is going well for this virtual event, and Ed and Nancy are super excited.

If you have an hour to spare (7 to 8 p.m. Feb. 13 CST), please help celebrate the accomplishment of a dyslexic writer who finally saw his dream come true - writing a publishing a book.

We will have REAL FOOD (if you have a few common ingredients handy) and time for questions.

The event is free.

A Respite and Giving Thanks: A Summary in Sound Bites

The week I spend in Raleigh notwithstanding, these last few days have been the most time off I've taken off in many, many years, very rejuvenating and productive.

So after a very long Wednesday work day that extended into my regularly scheduled bedtime before I was finished, here's how I spent the past few days:

Thanksgiving Day: Divine Liturgy, fiction writing, power walk, traditional dinner (poor boys, kettle chips,pumpkin pie), Monopoly marathon with my family

Black Friday: Power walk, lunch with a friend, fiction writing, practicing my open mic piece for Thursday, working on a marketing plan, finished the Monopoly marathon with my family

Small Business Saturday: Power walk, picked out new glasses, fiction writing, work (just a couple hours in the evening, didn't quite get it all done on Wednesday)

Sunday: Divine Liturgy, work, dinner with friends, power walk, work that was interrupted by someone needing to talk

And back to work today. I'm ready to tackle the week and eager to return to the job I love so much.

Still, I long for one more day...
