I suppose the good news is that I work well under pressure, and pressure is what I have between now and Tuesday, the deadline day for a bunch of projects. Then, once the "August" stuff is done, I can do the "pre-semester" stuff by Labor Day. Classes start the day after Labor Day for me . . . but if you were astute, you already picked up on that.
This has been a week of errands, improvements, philosophies, realities, heartaches, and headaches. Oh, and I burned through the first three books by Jeaniene Frost starting with Halfway to the Grave-- which are fucking awesome books with absolutely beautiful cover art. Kudos to the Avon publishing art department.
