Chaos reigns as I try to get organized to leave town.
The dryer broke, so we have wet laundry draped around the bathroom and mudroom. One daughter has bleeding toes from ill-fitting shoes for a drama production, running three nights this week. The other needs help navigating a poorly created website to understand a training program she’s interested in (why does every program application have to be submitted while I’m away?)
Page proofs for Crow Boy arrived. I received an invite to participate in the Calgary Young Writer’s Conference; they need a workshop description and a bio before I leave. Plus, of course, I have to organize myself, and help my family get organized for while I’m gone. The calendar is filled with gigs and bingo nights, writing groups and classes and rehearsals. And, of course, Christmas is coming and requires attention.
Somehow, through all of this, I have to emerge rested and peaceful, ready for a 10–day meditation retreat. Argh!!!!
