I swear to God, it feels like it was just Monday yesterday. And yes, I know this comes as wonderful news for a lot of people with weekday jobs and I’m happy for you, but damn.

And man, I have a busy weekend ahead—I need to:

• Set up my closet, pick up some Flonase and Vicks to dry up my constantly running nose and dental wax to fill in the little gap in my front teeth and take care of my faint lisp, and check that I have the right software so that I can start recording Shadow of the Swan for the audiobook
• Go over the AMS ads and prune out the non-successful ads
• Finish editing Shifter Woods: Claw and get that out to the editor and betas, as well as start putting together the omnibus edition
• Start work on the Patreon short story

That’s in addition to the usual housecleaning and food shopping tasks. Plus Ramón said there’s something causing the pool motor to vibrate badly and we may need to take down a fence panel to get to it (don’t ask). I also need to get out there and prune back all the dead lantana and hope like hell that the bulk of it recovers.

Mrrgh. I’m starting to see the appeal of having teenagers.
