So Hey…
So hey, I’m done with my book tour. Like done done. Bookmark Now and I have parted company. We had a great run but now it’s time for both of us to move on. We’re going stay friends. We think.
Since I’ve been working the last 6 months almost nonstop, flying across the country a dozen times and eating way way too many egg mitts in waiting lounges, I’m going to take the month of December off. Any work that happens will be fit in between reading, movie viewings, trips to the gym, long walks and longer baths. It’ll be blissful. By January, I may be ready to start the proposal for another book. I promise nothing
However, since I’m a workaholic freak, I need to structure my relaxation time. Which is pathetic. But otherwise,, I’ll simply obsess about what I should be doing, even though I shouldn’t be doing anything, feel lousy about not doing it, even though “it” is nothing and make myself and everyone around me miserable.
Below is an ambitious, insane list of what I’d like to do before 2006 shows up for checkers and milk. I’ll slot each item in where I can, like tomorrow I’m buying a vaccuum.
1. Create personal budget for 2006
2. Record more episodes of Your Ten Minute World, my awesome podcast
3. Buy vaccuum cleaner
4. Try NIA or hip hop dance class at the JCC
5. Spend a day reading 9 inch pile of magazines I neglected this week.
6. Spend a day seeing 3 or more movies.
7. Spend an entire day reading one book.
8. Revisit geocaching
9. Take the giving of holiday gifts seriously this year instead of buying everyone I love a book from Amazon 3 days before Christmas.
10. Visit a place in Northern California I’ve never been to before
11. Write fan letter to Dailysonic
12. Write thank you notes to everyone who supported me during my book tour
13. Clean car
14. Empty old filing cabinet
15. Sell old computers on Ebay
16. Sell old CDs after buying a few large CD binders
17. Sell out
18. Sleep late (I suck at this)
19. Return 6 months of email buildup
20. Clean computers (files and casings)
21. Be.
What does your December look like?
I have actually done the read a book in a day thing. Of course, the book was The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe and it didn’t take a day so much as, like, two hours. Fun, though.
