Budget (not ab) crunches

I crunched so hard on my budget yesterday that my brain’s just fried today. The big weekly meeting was cancelled as well, which leaves a 4 hour gap of totally free time. (Two hours for the meeting, two to get ready for it)

Sure, I could find some things to do, but it’s a festive day here. Everyone’s mind is on being off tomorrow. So here’s a few bullet points that are flitting through my distracted mind today.


  • I have 17,500 words to write in 6 days. I’m still convinced I will complete my novel by 11/30. But it’s going to be tough.
  • I want to lose 10 lbs before the esteemed author of another blog does. Which is hopefully by Christmas. For me, anyway. I don’t think he’ll do it. He lives very close to a Krispy Kreme store, and I do not. 😉 (I’m very competitive.) For the record, my DNW today was 163.
  • Maybe I should hit the Y tonight. I want to sign up for Pilates next session anyway.
  • I just realized that my new fall-ish title graphic looks more like a forest fire than a highly-contrasted photo of fall foliage
  • No, Thor does not get me cool drugs. Or any drugs for that matter. He’s the most upstanding pharmacist ever. Unfortunately, he caught the bug I had last weekend. 🙁
  • An old friend is in town for the holiday. Should I meet up with him, or be smart and start doing some prep work for tomorrow’s dinner?

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

the wombsday clock graphic with two teal haired women in white rockers. It has reached 12 months and there are teal and white stars all over the graphic.
Well, that happened.
