A recipe for stress
Our plan is to have the layout work for the next Schlock book done by August 31st. That is two weeks from today. Crunch time.
Next week school begins. I’ve got to figure out how the days are going to run and to get back to managing homework and bedtimes. We all have to be getting up earlier, going to bed earlier, eating healthier. I also have to figure in the after school activities which are also starting up. This probably won’t feel settled for two weeks.
The observant will notice that the two weeks of supposed schedule settling, overlap the two weeks of schedule disrupting crunch time.
Add into the mix some financial stress, and a need to tighten up the budget, just to liven things up.
In the background looming are a couple of conventions, the chaos of book shipping, holiday book shipping, and the various holidays and birthdays themselves.
