I must surrender today, I have kept trying to hang onto it, to get more in, more done, but it has become Tuesday, and I must go to bed, the day is over.

Okay now it is officially Tuesday day.
I really do have a hard time juggling stuff. Yesterday was mostly cleaning up from trip, and switching the computer table from upstairs into the basement (had to take off the flat table part to do it), and the dining table in the basement upstairs (had to take off the legs), so that I could get Bob's computer out of my studio, and off my desk, along with them, and all their papers, and what not. How that computer ever got into my studio, I do not know, for at the end of the hall there is a much bigger room, we call the game room, and it has a computer desk, and two drawing tables in it. But no they didn't like their space, it was too messy, and the rug is dark blue. Ugh!!! Anyway, I decided to ignore their whining, took matters into my own hands, and banished them. Of course now I need to clean my studio and help them organize and beautify their space so they stay in it.
But...I am not doing that today. I have already spent a considerable amount of time in the garden, and still much more needs to be done, but I hope to get some writing in before Bob comes home in two hours, and we go to the pool, and run errands.

As I always need a pep talk
here is a song one

Jem- It's Amazing

Do it now
You know who you are
You feel it in your heart
And you're burning and wishing (or it might be) burning with ambition

At first wait, won't get it on a plate
You're gonna have to work for it harder and harder
And I know cause I've been there before
Knockin on the doors with rejection
And you'll see cause if it's meant to be
Nothing can compare to deserving your dream

[Chorus]
It's amazing it's amazing all that you can do
It's amazing, makes my heart sing
Now it's up to you

Paitence now, frustrations in the air
And people who dont care
Well it's gonna get you down
And you'll fall (fall)
Yes you will hit a wall
But get back on your feet
And you'll be stronger and smarter

And I know cause I've been there before
Knocking down the doors, wont take no for an answer
And you'll see cause if it's meant to be
Nothing can compare to deserving your dream

[Chorus]
It's amazing its amazing all that you can do
It's amazing makes my heart sing
Now it's up to you

Ooo-ooo-ooo
Don't be embarassed, don't be afraid, don't let your dreams slip away
determination in using your gift,
everybody has a gift
never give up, never let it die, trust your instincts and
most importantly, you've got nothing to lose, so just go for it

It's amazing it's amazing all that you can do
Its amazing makes my heart sing
Now it's up to you

It's amazing it's amazing all that you can do
It's amazing makes my heart sing
Now it's up to you
Ahh-ahh-ahh

This multi-layered photo captivates me.

I don't think making time for it all sounds easy. I KNOW HOW EASY IT IS NOT!!
Why do we always put writing last? Too long of an answer to go into here.But just keep taking life day by day with your focus to finish the book. It will happen one day.

Amy,

I was just trying to capture a shot of him, and was surprised to see the layers in the photo, as I hadn't noticed any of them while I took the picture.

I didn't really mean it is easy to get it all done, I meant I should be able to spend an hour on this and then an hour on that each day, getting a little part of each done. But that is something I find really hard, I am much better at focusing on one thing for longer periods of time, and letting everything else slide, mudslide, to the side. Till it is buried deep in a heap.

I don't know why we always put it last. I think what would be really good for me right now, would be to put the writing first and let everything else try to squeeze in around it. But I don't know if I can do that.

I slept really well for me, while we were on vacation, unlike last year (stayed at the same place), when I had insomnia night after night. And I think part of the difference was because I was working on my writing.

Thanks. I really feel that I need it to happen one day, to be finished. Goodness I will be so happy just to have a sloppy first rough draft in my hands.
