A Gloomy Wednesday in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017

I don’t know how the weather is where everyone else is; but it has been gray and wet most of the day. Hopefully, that wet got to where it needed to go because after some scorchingly inappropriate heat lately; some farmers were downright begging for rain.

Had my third “earlier than usual” morning in a row this week. Monday, got to work early due to Court. Tuesday, got to work early due to Court. Today, I wanted to get to Boone by 8 which means on the road by 7-ish. Thing is, though? NOW I’ve got two or three potentially slow (slower) days. Front loaded the week to get that feeling of go go go push push push… which helps, it feels good to be in such a positive place right now… but at the same time… makes the end of the week a bit longer.
At 3:00 (with 2 hours left in the day and two full days left of the week) I have

exactly 6 hours required this week and I will have hit my monthly billable goal. 6 hours in two days? While technically, I have have had days where I could not amass 3 hours… I rather doubt that I will have that specific issue this week. Which would make this the second month in a row that I either met or exceeded my personal billable goal.

That being said… my weekend plans were interrupted right in the middle of the cementing phase. Not that I have any room to complain, of course, but… after a week like this… I’d prefer to have a quiet weekend resting and shit.

ORIGINAL WEEKEND PLAN
Sleep in as much as possible on Saturday. Wake up when I wanted to. Purchase some Unique Des Moines Locally Brewed Beer and a bottle of Sherry. Drink the bottle of Sherry while working on (1) my book and/or (2) some fun stories. When successfully finished with at least 1 and at most 3 chapters; clean the house’s toilets and tidy up around the house. After that, start drinking the beer and watch Hardcore Henry and play video games. Sunday: Chores.

NEW WEEKEND PLAN
Sleep in if you can on Saturday. Get out of bed the first time you wake up. Purchase some Dark and Stormy Ingredients and Beer and Sherry. Return home to create FROG DAY cards. When completed and printed, check time. IF before 2:00; watch Hardcore Henry. IF after 2:00, clean toilets and tidy the house. 4 O’Clock go to Parents’ House for Gathering. Sunday: Chores. IF YOU CAN fit as much of your Saturday plan into Sunday

I just… I want this weekend to be fun, restful, and productive in a literary way.

Now to finish up some work stuff; maybe get a new client or two; and plan the next forty-eight hours.
