Yeah, this is early, but I’m dead after five hours already, having hit the ground running today.
Today, I:
– wrote the weekend roundup
– researched routes for the trip
– researched rest/meal stops
– researched location of shops we need to pick things up at
– mapped all these things out
– hunted for and found my old folder of camping information
– finalised our budget (which made me very sad; HRH and I are paying a lot more on this trip than we would have if we’d gone alone in our car)
– made a list of the things we need to pick up from the inlaws’ camping gear
– liaised with HRH about the pile of our own camping equipment assembled in the garage
– handled correspondence
– invoiced for last week’s work
– booked off the freelance roster this week
– baked bread
– finalised lists of (and started assembling) personal stuff to bring like clothes and books
– worked on the draft of the interview questions (new self-imposed deadline: Wednesday)
And then I ran out of energy in the early afternoon. I need to go read for a bit, then possibly finish the baby blanket on the loom to disengage the brain and keep my fingers occupied.
LATER: Ha. The loom didn’t make it out. Instead, I wrote 2,115 original words of a scene that I thought up two nights ago. Longhand, even!
Let me know if you need any camping stuff, we have an amazing tent that we would be happy to lend to you (and other stuff). If you need more info you know how to find me. xoxo
You’re a sweetie! We’re pretty covered, though; we’ve got a tonne of our own equipment. We just need to pick up things like the camp chairs and an extra tarp from the inlaws.

Huzzah for being tackled by fiction writing!
