Alright. It’s Friday. For most people, the week is winding down, they’re wrapping up projects, getting ready to relax. But as I’m sure all the independent artists and entrepreneurs out there know, there is no such thing as a weekend when you’re in business for yourself. There is always work to be done. There’s no schedule. There is work that can be done every day. Sometimes, Saturdays and Sundays are even busier than week days.
I’ve kind of reached a point where I have so much going on that my brain has just started deleting information. This isn’t necessarily a bad problem, because I’d much rather be busy than sitting around and doing nothing. But at the same time, I really need to remember and stay on top of things and I can’t have my brain just selecting stuff at random and getting rid of it. That’s just not gonna fly.
So the time has come to make another list of things I need to do and things I need to remember. Because if I don’t remember it, no one else will.
Except for my mom who, thankfully, reminded me that I have a wedding to go to tomorrow. Thanks, Mom!
Anyway, here we go. Yet another List of Things Jackie Needs to Remember.
* You’re going to your friends’ wedding tomorrow!
* You still need to buy a gift for aforementioned wedding.
* Write.
* Make sure you have everything you need for Comic Con.
* Don’t forget you have to set up for Comic Con on Wednesday.
* Keep Writing.
* Finish reading Paula Baker’s new book (It’s excellent. I’m really loving it!)
* Write, write, write!
* Lurking in the Woods submission due May 31!
* Cemetery Tours 3!
* Stop binge-watching Ghost Adventures. Zak Bagans is not going to fall in love with you through the television screen. Just let it go.
* Friend’s graduation on Sunday!
* You have to look nice two days in a row.
* Stop complaining about the weather. I know the cold and the rain are giving you a bit of an attitude. Get over it.
* Just stay focused. So many good things are happening for you. Keep working. Enjoy it. You have so much to look forward to. Be gracious and keep going.
* Stop forgetting your allergy meds.
* Stop forgetting your anxiety meds.
* Again, write, write, write.
Love you all. Have a great weekend! I’ll let you know if I make it through in one piece.
