I think the word for this week is going to be “ambitious”. I would not be surprised if by Saturday, I’ll be in bed and unconscious before the sun has fully set.
But I can’t say I didn’t see it coming or didn’t accept that it’d be a hectic week. It’s Spring Break week, and that means fewer coworkers (so more work for me and everyone else unable to get the week off) as well as time off for the kids from school. Just yesterday, I pulled a 12-hour shift and somehow stayed awake long enough to prep a quick meal for the next shift.
This doesn’t mean I can’t put in the effort needed to make the week worthwhile. For myself, I still need to get the next chapters for the Sidewinder story written and posted (Chapter 5 went up yesterday, so go read!) before Saturday. That’s my personal challenge.
But it’s also a big week for Hannah! The 5yr old is testing for her first sash (white) in Kung Fu this week! She’s been practicing, but like any perfectionist, she’s not sure if she’s ready. She is; she just doesn’t accept it for herself yet. Hopefully, she’ll remember what I’ve been telling her since she’s started trying out new hobbies: we don’t ask for her to be perfect, just that she puts in the effort and try her best.
With that, break time is over and it’s back to sorting mail and thinking over plots. Enjoy the day, readers.

PS~ Just realized that while the chapter was uploaded (correctly, this time!) and is available for reading, it didn’t send out a notice that it had done so. So if you’re looking for it, here’s a link:
