Monday's State-of-the-Meerkat

[lagilman]

Was in bed this morning, waiting for the feline alarm to ring, thinking about the nicely-gelling plans for the California Road Trip, and suddenly realized that I have Something Major due the day before I'm supposed to head out there. Which caused me to run backward over my schedule in my head, from October to now, and realize that I'm already off-schedule for everything I have to do.

Gack.

Time to ramp up again.

(the problem with All Things Planned is that I'm also under orders not to a) overwork, b) disappear for days at a time, and c) go without sleep. The Plan did not allow for things like sleep or a social life. Or a kitchen renovation. And yes, Catie, I can hear you laughing from here...)

It's all doable. The Plan says so. *nods firmly*

EtA; And now I'm even more behind, thanks to various no-shows and delays not of my making. The phrase "needs killin'" has resonance in my life right now... and yet, since I didn't actually expect any of those things to go right today, I'm angry but not upset. Hi ho hi ho it's off to Mordor we go...

*laughs* *hugs* Oh dear. :)

I need to make a "Man Plans, God Laughs" icon for all of us, don't I. :)

California? Do you mean WFC? Road trip? Are you driving there?

[lagilman]

Driving there? *laughs hysterically* Um, no. I'm going out early to do a joint signing at Mysterious Galaxy with our own otterdance/Lynn Flewelling, and then up to San Francisco for more Stuff....
