I have to say that I am lacking in spirit today. Not a good place to be at this point.
So much to do. At work, at home, with writing.
The Giants clinched the NL West last night. And did it in 150 games. The fastest since they moved to San Francisco. I should be excited. I mean I am, but the exuberance is tempered by everything else.
Computer is not working right at home. It works... but I need to figure out how to solve the issue it has. I have the Maple Woods conference coming up and I need something else besides the poetry to have for my agent meeting. Have time to do a new short story, or work on sprucing up one I've already done. I need to decide and get it done. I have ample time now, procrastination will of course change that. I have to take control of this.
The pets are a big issue at home. Quite frankly - I don't really know the answer, but I feel I will have to create one.
I need to make some very specific plans and goals for the week ahead. I know I'm not in the best frame of mind to do this, but I can't afford to wait to be in a better frame of mind. That is a luxury I simply cannot afford. (big sigh, followed by kicking myself in the butt) I know... The visual isn't pretty.
Monday was my writing group meeting. We had an interesting local author, Joel Goldman speak. He was very interesting. His genre is mystery. Lot of really good information. Picked up his first book, Motion To Kill - put it in my to read pile. I'm not really a mystery reader, but I think this sounds very intriguing.
