Seriously, that 3-day weekend really screwed me up! I didn’t even bother writing out a new to-do list this weekend because there was so much left from last time I just didn’t see the point. I was so tired that I managed to sleep through 2 hours of alarm blaring and 4 phone calls from the office on Wednesday morning (enough to where Mom came to my apartment to make sure I wasn’t dead. I woke up and called the office just after she’d left… sigh… still getting teased about that one). And this weekend is first ever Con (Wrath of…) and I think I should be a bit more excited. Must be the exhaustion. Oh, and I haven’t blogged in a week. Granted, the articles and comics all got done, but that seems like _all_ I’ve been getting done lately. I could use a break but there really isn’t one in sight for the next month or so but, well, a girl can hope.

You’d figure it should after 3 hours of snoozin 
The productivity level was pretty low, honestly, but it’s okay since I took care of this week’s comics already I could afford the nap. Instead I got some measuring done for another project that was on the list (it’s half of one to-do) and, well, not much else. Seriously, I needed the downtime.
Tomorrow, though, I’ll draft and article, do the other half of tonight’s project, and maybe have time to compose the flyers for next weekend’s con. I finally have all 4 comic excerpts picked, so now just to lay them out and make a hardcopy. See, no worries

Sigh… obviously I was too tired to be let loose around my work with a sharp object. I wasn’t paying enough attention as I trimmed down the bristol and whoosh! there went an extra 1/2″ off an already trimmed side. Oh, well, the good news is that it was totally fixable and I really don’t think it’s noticeable in the scan. The better news is that all three comics for this week are uploaded and scheduled. That is how it should be every week, if not before.
I go bed now.

So, Wrath of Con is weekend after next and it’s being held in Panama City. Even though I’m really not much of an ocean person and am in no hurry to don that bathing suit I bought last week (doesn’t hurt to be prepared) still, I like the idea of keeping my options open. And since we’ll be right there on the beach, might as well not glow if I DO wear that suit.
In other news. I wore some fun new earrings today that I made totally out of the blue yesterday. They started as an example for an eHow article and then the wire just started talking to me, urging me to stitch into here and there and suddenly i had a really interesting shape. I’ll be including the pattern as part of the article but they were really fun and quick to make. I plan on experimenting with different wire and bead combos and seeing what else I can do with it, when I get the time.
And speaking of time, mine was spent quite wisely today. Not only did I kick butt at work, just getting stuff done right and left, but I managed to get a ton of work done on the comic tonight so that I should have this week’s comics done by tomorrow night. Which is how it should be. I really didn’t like having to work every night before it was set to upload just to keep up. That’s why I really want that buffer built up! Of course, with the other projects I’ve got, an actual buffer might take a little while, but at least I’m on the right track.

Another busy week but not exactly busy enough. The to-do list only saw 50% completion.
Comic: 4 out of 4
Articles: 3 out of 3
House: 1 out of 4
Websites: 0 out of 6
Book: 1 out of 1
Exercise: 4 out of 7 days
Obviously the website work is the red-headed step child of all of my tasks, but it’s also the one with the most flexible deadlines (or none at all) so I suppose it’s understandable. And the house stuff is not the usual stuff, it’s more special once in a while things that I want to get to but life won’t stop if I don’t.
I have to say, I’m really looking forward to next weekend. Last year Memorial Day was incredibly productive for me and I’m hoping to repeat that sort of success. Technically my to-do list’s period ends on Saturday so it won’t really affect the 18 items once again facing me. But next week? Next week should rock!
