This doesn't feel like a Tuesday

Okay, so...quick wrap-up of today: went to therapy, and it was very good. Went grocery shopping. Went to the new PetSmart location, and it's saying things like that that really bring home where my life is at now. ;) Pretty much spent the rest of the day head down and working, and I put DH1 if not in the can, then at least got an RC out there. It's 1 in the morning, though, so...there's that. Healthwatch was all right today. Three pills, widely spaced. Feeling on the mend.

Tomorrow DH0 and outtakes? I guess? Thursday is travel, Friday through Sunday is Breakout and travel back. History has shown that I'll need Monday for recovery, but I'm not 100% sure I have time to blow the whole day. We shall see.

I know I have one more day, but there's so much to do and I'm uncertain of the timing of everything that I'm just gonna call hiatus tonight. So...probably no blog posts until Monday earliest, and as stated before, maybe not even then if I decide to do con writeups instead. While the blog goes silent, assume I am either (a) working, (b) on the road, or (c) attending Breakout.

Until then!

Okay, I lied. One more blog post before I go on con hiatus. :) The landscape shifted today...DH deadlines got pushed back cuz I didn't do so great a job on the first go-round. Spent some time today nailing down specs and getting help for the next try, but besides that, work-wise just tried to get back on track with the dailies I've been skipping and that was pretty much it. Feels bad to have blown a deadline and done a bad job, but all things considered, things could have been a lot worse. I basically have a second chance now, I'm better prepared, and nobody's angry, so there's a lot of positive to be found here. Per therapy, I'm trying to not focus so much on the negative stuff and think more on the positive side of things; basically everything is a mixed bag, so I don't have to think in such pass/fail terms. It's good to have an opportunity to do better, and at least now I don't have anything hanging over me for the con.

Ah, the con. I'm looking forward to it, to be sure, but I haven't been, like...super excited. Phil had a similar sentiment; for him, it had a lot to do with being so busy, and honestly it was that way for me, too, but also I feel like time has just been rocketing...like I'm unprepared somehow? Which is ridiculous. I mean, how prepared do I even have to be, ya know? And even then, this has been as well planned as any con trip or whatever, so...I don't really know what's bothering me. I'm sure it's going to be great.

So with that, now starts the blog hiatus. :) I may check back Monday. I may not. I'm vaguely trying to keep Monday as a recovery day, as history shows I should do. It'll depend on if the verve I worked up from today's work session for working on DH will carry over to next week. But also it's clear I need to take a breath and get organized again, so...Monday may be a good day for that instead of diving back into the nitty-gritty. Or...it may just be a good day to sit around and do nothing. I guess it basically depends how the con goes? Or how the drop goes, more likely.

Anyway. Speaking of preparedness, I haven't packed yet, not that I think it'll take me a long time or anything, but also I'm fairly sleepy and wouldn't mind getting to bed on the early side, considering the drive I've got ahead of me tomorrow. So...I think that's about it. Back sometime next week. Onward to gaming!
