Priorities

February has been quite the month for family illness and medical issues. I’ll make up the writing, I know I will, so I’m not horribly worried about it. I’m in a rotten combination of sick kids (taking turns, too, so someone has always been sick from the beginning of the month), snow storms, daycare institute days, and insane projects at work that I’ve been asked to do overtime and I’m barely getting in my normal time. I counted up the time off I’ve taken for the kids this month and it added up to over a week. How insane is that?

Meanwhile, I’ve got my SF telepath story on the mind and am working through some issues on it. Some friends helped me work through what I couldn’t see about the ending, but now I have to go research tropical insects. Or make one up. 🙂

Through it all, the writing has been on my mind. I’m aiming for getting my morning sessions in this week and my after work sessions. The short story and a crit for a friend are my primary goals. Everything else will come later.

Hope you’re healthier than we are. Keep those hands washed: I’m hearing about lots of the flu rearing its ugly head.
