but I don't WANT to have fun today....

Yesterday ended up being a day of everything-but-writing (okay, I got about 900 words written), and today I've got social obligations that take me away from the keyboard all day. Argh. Seriously, I could be offered the chance for The Most Perfect Day of Fun and I'd be thinking "but...story! Writing! Just let me have my keyboard for a few hours!"
