Writing With Abandon

It was a busy day.

Woke up at 6 — so tired! Why? I got almost 8 hours…

Phoebe’s grooming appointment at 8am. A new mobile groomer. He was great and she came back looking spiffy.

An 8:30am call with a new client in Cairo. From Iowa just like Tim! Three proposal requests.

10am meeting with my little east coast team. Touching base on what’s coming up while two of us are out.

Go into the living room and smother P with hugs. “I’m gonna miss yoooou!”

12pm call with J to talk about a Morocco proposal.

12:30pm lunch call with R. Just for fun.

1pm pre-departure call with a Seattle school heading to Iceland on Monday.

Emails, emails, emails.

Cc, cc, cc.

Slack, slack, slack.

Hug P! “I’m gonna MISS you!”

3:30pm call with R and F. Reviewing my list of things to cover while I’m out.

5pm finishing up. Set my OOO. Trading the Miami heat for the crisp Yukon air ❄️🏔️.

Hug P! Grab a snack. “What should we have for the last supper?”

Log back on to send a final client email.

Take Phoebe out.

“The sky is falling! The sky is falling!!”

Run back inside.

Plop on the couch while P makes us dinner. TJ’s kung pao chicken.

I. Am. Tired.

Cue up “Shrinking.”

Write this slice.

“Here we go!” P says.

Packing can wait.
