To-Do? Write a Blog Post for You!

Oh my goodness! I feel like I have so much to do. I'm pretending the stress is excitement. (It's a little bit of stress, though.) Everything always gets done, somehow, but knowing I have more tasks than hours in the day makes me want to play games on my phone, since I'll have to go to bed with tasks undone anyway! 

Luckily, everyone I work for/with and everyone I know/have ever met seems to have been thrown off by February. It was already a short month, it went by so fast, and we spent most of it inside, huddled together, demonstrating how we could see our own breath. Inside. So I have a new book to edit (oh my goodness, I can't wait, this series is so good, the cliffhanger at the end of the last one was horrendous, a love triangle that must be untangled plus the fate of the whole race), essays to grade (lots and lots of essays), clothes to wash before I can pack them for the race on Saturday (or is it good luck if they stink), and a brilliant query letter to write that will get my client published before the daffodils bloom. Also, my dog needs a bath.

Am I the only one who keeps track of what I need to do by leaving the windows open on my computer until it can't handle anymore and it shuts down?


At least dinner was easy. We had leftovers for dinner tonight, and jicama fries! Find the recipe here. (We don't use the chipotle powder.) I kind of dropped the jicama and split it open on the way inside from the car, so that made it easier to cut, but we also had to make sure we used it up this week! Steve had leftover shepherd's pie and I had the spaghetti squash casserole from last night. I ran three miles on the treadmill, and it was boring and I wanted to quit, and that makes me think "how are you going to run 13.1??" but I've trained, I'm ready, and hopefully I'll either make some new friends, or they'll have funny signs to read along the way.
