The Tally for Today
6 hours freeway driving split into two parts.
1 college girl settled into her dorm room and ready to tackle a new semester.
30 minutes town driving because college students take advantage of parent with car while she is available.
1.5 bottles of caffeinated soda which are not going to help with sleep tonight.
Notes for 3 blog posts which I’ll write when I have a less tired brain.
The beginning of a new picture book.
Vague concept for another new picture book.
A source of tension and a character realization for my novel.
2 loads of laundry.
House feels quiet and empty.
I like the empty and quiet because I am so very tired. I hope sleep is friendly tonight.
It is interesting that our family now has two versions of normal. There is the normal where Kiki is at college and there is the normal where Kiki is here with us. I’m looking forward to next week when we can finally settle in to this new year and see how it feels.
