Dana's Magic and Mayhem: Taking A Short Break

Taking A Short Break

Okay, don't panic. I'm only taking a week off. When your hubby invites you to watch a movie you've been dying to see, or offers you your favorite food, and all you say is "Meh" because that would require, ya know, moving, you're a little burned out.

So I discussed it with him, and at first I didn't want to take any time off at all. I wanted to finish Throne of Oak, seeing as I'm a little over halfway done with it. Then, I thought, would be the best time to take a week to myself, since I haven't done that since... Since...

Um, I think it was before Christmas? Last summer, maybe?

But he had to go and point something out to me, something that changed my mind. If everything is "Meh", won't the story become meh too?

Ugh. I hate it when he's right.

So, other than getting "DEAR GOD GET THESE EDITS IN TO ME NOWNOWNOW!" type stuff, I'm taking the week off. I'm going to read, play video games, watch the Murder/Death/Kill channel until Dusty is thoroughly traumatized, and in general pretend I'm a rutabaga. I'll peek in to Facebook and Twitter, but that's about it.

See you next week!

Last time I tried to play a video game, one of the cats attacked my hand. I think I messed with cat time.

The dog doesn't care what I'm doing, so long as I don't yell at her for licking her behind.; July 10, 2012 at 12:03 PM
