Some days I'm an early riser, and some days I'm not. If I make it out the door by 6 a.m. for Saturday garage sales, there's a very good chance I didn't go to sleep on Friday night.
I'm a mother, wife, lover, friend, cook, teacher, literacy coach, business owner, amateur decorator and devoted D.I.Y.er, and a professional/published writer. Like most women, I can juggle with the best of 'em, and often get an amazing amount of work done in a single day.
And yet, despite all the things I do in a timely fashion, I procrastinate and struggle with deadlines. More specifically, writing deadlines. I love to write, but I have to do it on my own terms. Maybe I wasn't properly weaned ... or I was abducted by aliens who didn't observe 24 hour days and the Gregorian calendar. Whatever.
On the very slim chance that anyone reading this is actually waking up and rushing to the computer for my current day's junkin' post ... well, most days you'll either have to check back later or be content with being a day behind (two days, for my friends in Europe and points further east). I like to write in the afternoon or evening, after I've done all the do-or-die items, like weeding the garden, paying the power bill, and polishing my new black sink. And I'm not above back-dating a post, to make it look like it showed up on the right day. Confession, they say, is good for the soul ...
At my house, we call it Victoria Standard Time. Welcome to my world. And please stop by again ...
