Holiday Over

lagilmanA lovely holiday break, capped by a day spent with the immediate family, talking and walking and eating (and drinking a marvelous 1995 Brunello my b-i-l had in the cellar, oh, yum.) But I kicked my sister out this morning (ok, she kicked herself out), and was back at the desk by 7am.
Actually, at 7am I said to myself "self, get to the desk" and then yelled at myself for beating myself up because Dog, woman, it was only SEVEN!.
This week - counting from today through next Friday - has massive stuff on the to-do list, starting with recovering from both the holiday and the laptop being in the shop for a full body changeover (I think they're a little terrified of how hard I am on keyboards. It was suggested that I get a new desktop, with a separate keyboard. They're probably right). Lots and lots of work, and errands, and OMG and Ack.
Oh: Because of the aforementioned delays, yesterday's scheduled Practical Meerkat's 52 Bits of Advice will be going up on Sunday. Grrr. Also, argh. But it will go up.
Meanwhile, this morning I hit - and passed - the 15,000 word mark on "From Whence You Came." I was estimating 20-25,000 words, and it looks like that's about right. We're currently a grand total of $593 away from being fully funded/making it happen.... *squeaks*
Caution, and prudence, were called for.
Caution and prudence had never met Deshai Harini.
[remember: back the project now, and your account won't be charged until (if) we hit goal on 2 January!]
And y'all? What're you facing, on this post-holiday weekend?
