LOL! Literally… Last night I went to bed around 7 p.m., so tired I couldn’t hold my eyes open. Kindly, the dogs didn’t budge until 5:00 a.m.: TEN HOURS of sleep!
Unheard of! These days a seven-hour rest is exceptionally wonderful, and about six hours is typical. Awoke feeling considerably better than I have over the past week or two, the headache much diminished and the overall sense of stress pretty well gone.
So that’s refreshing. Not to say amazing.
Today I’ve done almost nothing. Nothing constructive, anyway. Polished my toenails. Washed the sheets. Inspected the new Venza’s owner’s manual a little more and made a list of the settings that should be made and the things I should learn to do now instead of when they actually need to be done. Read the news. Posted a complaint at Edmunds about the local car dealership, basically the same as the rant I posted here, only naming names. Explored the AG’s website and discovered my son is correct in saying they have a special interest in tactics that take advantage of the elderly and the dazed.
A-n-n-d… Discovered a competition that might fund the Boob Book, from writing all the way through to marketing. Twenty grand!
Dayum. Think of what $20,000 would buy in the marketing department! And you know…say the words “breast cancer survivor” and carillons begin to ring.
Mwa ha ha!
You have to submit a video explaining what you would do with the cash. Interestingly, I happen to know a videographer: one of my former students. And he happens to be one of my “contacts” at LinkedIn.
Thought I had his direct email address but can’t find it. So sent him a LinkedIn message — hope he gets it. The deadline isn’t until mid-October, though, and since I created a pitch for a group of real-world publishers and literary agents, I can probably put a script together in a day or two.
So I’m watching the email and hoping to hear from him. Soon.
Meanwhile, resting: Making up for the lost “vacation” in one day.
Go win that!!!!!
