I TALK TO MYSELF
7:59 A.M. (I said to myself, I said ‘self’…)
Am I really ready to get up?
Well, I could but there is no urgency.
Who is that on the phone, calling me this early?
“This is Charlavan.
No, I think you have the wrong number. I didn't ask for an estimate.”
Well, I am awake so I may as well make some coffee. Bret will probably come by pretty soon to see if I did. OK.
I may as well clean up the kitchen since I would really be a bitch if someone else left it this way.
I'll tell the publisher I am not quite ready to sign off on that manuscript. I need to email her. I don't want that book released until I get a marketing plan in place. Need to raise some money.
No, I'll write to Denise first. I lost her address. There it is.
Maybe I will apply for a loan to finance the marketing for it since I can't go forward without it.
OK, I did that but not sure I would take it even if I qualified. Those rates were not good.
I'll just do a little organizing of my desk before I get into anything else. Well, at least it looks better, even if it doesn't work as well.
My phone is really messing up. My little kids would laugh at that bit of ancient technology. I still can't open that labor intensive text from DB.
I'd better water those plants on the patio. Oops. Those are already soaked.
I really need to get those letters out. I'll check the mail at the same time. Well, that was an exercise in futility. I didn't need to go to the mailbox to get all those fliers but at least they didn't have 'windows'.
I'm not really hungry but I think I'll eat again. Maybe salmon patties. OK. There. They really needed some fresh onions. The onion chips just don't cut it.
It is about 4:00 and this is Wednesday so I'll make something to offer Missy when she comes by after work. It is her night out with the girls. I can't believe she is really bowling! Good for her.
I really should go have the car cleaned but I don't want to. I almost wish the Lakers would have lost one more game before they won. It was more fun watching the game while I eat. Just plain television watching is not compelling. I have heard that news. I am entertainment challenged.
I am really bored today. There are a thousand things I should be doing but most of them are not an option right now. Damn.
Maybe I'll just drive out to the casino and use that bit of credit they gave me. -----------not a good idea. I'll just have a Dr. Pepper.
I'll go to the spa. This swimsuit looks like do-do but it is comfortable. Shee-ott. They are caulking the pool and spa today! Gotta get out of this suit. It is really ugly.
OK, I'll write up that marketing plan. I always work better after I write it out – change it – change it again, read it, change it again. Now I need to make up a list of addresses. There. At least that is a start.
The computer just lost a group of files again! I'll reinstall that program. I hate this thing.
I love this thing. What would I do without it?
OK, I'll let the doctor look at my ear. If I can't hear very well on that side and it is hurting, it might not take Filini to figure out I have an ear infection. Too much of the spa? Maybe it will feel better tomorrow. I'll wait a little longer.
What's the date? Already?
Well, it is almost bedtime. Did I do anything productive? Sure. I got out of bed.
