5:37 p.m.


Today is a day of worship for many people. For the rest of us, it's the day before Monday, and therefore the day we must get everything done around the house that we can possible do before having to start another work week.

I don't officially have work days, but I do have work hours, when I write, edit or attempt to promote my work. I also have taken on some reading/reviewing assignments.

Now that I am back in Colorado, I am trying to readjust my work hours. This place is much more chaotic than my parents' home in Wyoming. I find that I am mostly back on late nights-- 11 p.m. to whenever, while when I'm in Wyoming I do more between 8 p.m. and midnight.

Regardless of my location, I guess I am never going to be a morning person if I don't have to be. That is one thing I don't miss about being in the work-force full time. I just don't want to have to think before 10 a.m. I might be awake--seriously, I am usually awake--but I just want to read or watch t.v. and drink coffee. In the summer, I like to go outside before it gets too hot. No brain strain until I am officially alive.

I do miss working, though. I would do it again. I don't leave my house (s) often enough.

Right now I am extremly grateful for my freelance status, though. Otherwise, I would not be able to go back and forth between Colorado and Wyoming the way I do.

During this coming week I will have plenty of opportunities to get out of the house. I have a concert to attend, and then Comic-Con for the weekend. Plus I will take a trip downtown to pick up badges early, because who wants to stand in line even longer the first day of the event?

While I'm here I am going to have to manage a couple of doctor visits, and then I'll be off to Wyoming again.

Never mind Sundays, I'm going to be cramming a summer's worth of appointments and stuff into the next four weeks. Busy, busy.

I travelled home Friday on a Greyhound bus. It was full, but not unpleasant. I have had unpleasant trips in the past, but overall, Greyhound is still a good way to go. I imagine that is how I will travel next time as well.

When I went to Wyoming in April, I actually flew into Salt Lake City, since my mother was scheduled for a knee replacement there the next day. I flew Southwest airlines from Denver for $45.00! If I could ALWAYS find fares that low, I would fly everywhere.

Sadly, it appears there are no flights to my next destination, and Go Greyhound has a great fare. Counting down one month. Alrighty, then.

As promised, here is Day 10 of the #WriteAwayJune challenge. I have been having a pretty good time with this so far. Enjoy the post and have a great night! Cheers!

#WriteAwayJune Day 10 - What is your character's motivation? Emma is all about family. She has developed relationships even with family members who are deceased. Many have come to her with unresolved mysteries or explanations of things that might have been misunderstood or misrepresented by survivors. Emma is motivated by the challenges they present her with to find information and documentation to pass on true stories to the next generation. If she can reunite loved ones, explain an unreported birth or death, find a lost object, it's all icing on the cake, because number one for her is building the relationship.
