It’s been an insanely productive week. If I can give one more push here today and maybe some this weekend, I stand a good chance of being finally on top of my to-do list, which is unthinkable. Well, you know, the short-term to-do list. I still have The Master Plan which has a ton of stuff to do in the long run – watch a bunch of classic movies, lose thirty pounds, travel to Spain, yadda yadda – but the short-term work list is finally getting whittled down to manageable levels. Yay!
Oh, and for the record, I didn’t get to do any personal art last night. I wound up having a two-hour meeting that started at 6PM, then fixed dinner, watched a little television, did a little more client work, and passed out at the ridiculously early time of 11:30. Oh, well. Maybe this weekend.
