So when I got home and received a call asking if we could postpone my seminar tonight until next spring when we can tie it in with the Chamber of Commerce, I didn't protest!
It's easy to get involved in projects and work and run so hard that we forget to stop and live now and then.
Today, I'm going to live a little! And get caught up on some blogs - I know I've been slacking.
Anyone else need a break?
Have fun! Don't forget to eat some ice cream. Gotta have ice cream on your fun day.
ReplyDeleteoh man do I! Not sure I'll get it but I just have two more stories to write and several clients tomorrow and and and...the thing is when you're self-employed you simply have to take the work when it arrives. So a nice day to yourself with no blame on you is GOLDEN! Hope you enjoyed it (and still are...)
ReplyDeleteI'm always wanting a break, but I think what I really need to take a break from my ongoing break. In other words, I think I need to be working harder!
ReplyDeleteGlad that you've been staying busy--just pace yourself. And Stephen's suggestion of ice cream sounds pretty good.

Need- break- yes...LOL getting one anytime soon- not a chance.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with yours
Enjoy your break today. Do I need a break? Absolutely but things are not going to slow down for me until January, so live a little for both of us today.
ReplyDeleteMan, I swear I need a break from all the fun stuff I do even! I am looking forward to Saturday morning myself.
ReplyDeleteI had an enforced break from blogging which I really didn't enjoy but caught up with some reading.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.

Stephen, I'm a vegan - so no ice cream!
ReplyDeleteJan, I understand.
Geof, I'll go out to eat for both of us then!
Yvonne, I'd like to do that, too.
Everyone needs a break sometime, but it sure can play havoc with your schedule and life when you take one!

I think all the time I should slow down and enjoy what's happening right now but there's always something else needs doing.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy! At the moment, writing feels like a break to me.
ReplyDeleteI NEED A BREAK!!! I have been so busy lately that I haven't blogged in two weeks!!! I can't wait till next week when my life finally has a bit of a chance to calm down. Ohm...
ReplyDeleteO M G, YES! I need one so bad. I can't tell you how many times I've fallen asleep over my keyboard. Bad for the complexion when you have to be somewhere important and have these marks...
ReplyDeleteI wanna spa day and a massage, ok?
Yay for breaks! I could definitely use one myself. Maybe this weekend I'll be able to catch up on some sleep, but I don't think so. Too much to do around the house :(
ReplyDeleteNo doubt! Remember when you were a kid and hated having nothing to do??? Ah, the irony!
ReplyDeleteMonti, I'm okay with that!
ReplyDeleteSusan, isn't that the truth?
Kitten, two weeks is a long time!
Sia, I know this great place in near Asheville...
Jennifer, it's fall back, so you'll get one extra hour at least.
Pk - yes I do! All that time wasted, doing nothing productive...
Absolutely need a break sometimes--you'll enjoy it more if you get naked... I'm just sayin'... but you know that is the way my advice usually rolls.
ReplyDeleteAt least your overload was for real work. I tend to trap myself into tons of volunteer chores or non-paying promo events and still end up so pooped I can't move. I'm now in the process of pulling back so I can find more time to write.
ReplyDeleteDiane, I have something for you at my blog, so please stop by when you have a chance.
Oh yeah, I hear ya! Kind of winding down from a crazy fall, which came after an interesting spring and insane summer...
ReplyDeleteRelaxing and regrouping - just the thing. Don't forget chocolate.
Happy weekend,
Karen :)
Enjoy some relaxation. This is a nutty time of year for me too. I'm totally and completely pooped right now. Desperately need some sleep sometime!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing better than taking a breather after life's been crazy for a while. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteGoodness yes! I've been sick and also dealing with two sick, cranky baby/toddlers. Plus my hubby is out of town this weekend. Maternity leave ends on Monday and I almost see going back to work as a break. lol.
ReplyDeleteWow, you sure sound busy. I'm actually enjoying my routine with nano right now. Discipline is something I lack a lot of and blogging has been a wonder in that area. Then of course, it became an addiction, so, during nano, I'm down to once a week for visiting and twice a week for posting.
ReplyDeleteVisiting my bloggy friends is a break for me.
Enjoy!
I don't know if this will work or not, blogger is being a booger for me today! Grrr!
I'm glad you took a break, Diane. I've been rushed off my feet the last few days too. So much to do!
ReplyDeleteJai
You've described my past week. No tiem to even check my favourite blogs, that's how bad it has been. I would love a breather.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy.
It's important not to overdo things. Take a rest and you'll feel a lot better about all your projects.
ReplyDeleteYes, I spent the last six weeks on an exhausting edit/rewrite of the ms. After four days away from the computer, I'm ready to dive back into blog-world. Oh, I think I'm overdue for starting another book too!
