got my muse, but no power
Damn...just damn. Well, actually OK in the end, but Tuesdays are busy days for me. This one no different, as I had a morning meeting with a collaborator to discuss revisions on a paper we're writing, then my appt, then the boy's appt, then dinner, etc. And at some point along the way I had to get a proposal done. I had a very rough draft last night, but needed to do some serious cleaning. So I planned on the window between appts, figuring I'd go to Peets (where my muse hangs out) and knock it out there.
Got to Peets, sat down to write, but saw I only had 17% battery. No problem, I'll just plug in. Hmm...no I won't, no AC adapter. Crap. Having already ordered my mocha, I frantically typed away until I hit 2%, then shut it down. Back home to get the AC adapter, but by that time I had to get the boy. Luckily that gives me another 45 minute window to write, this time at a Starbucks. I had trouble getting on my t-mobile hotspot account, but after a call to the 800 number I was online. Finished the draft and sent it off at 4:55pm. Hey, I said before the end of the day. And that is early for me...I've considered 11:59pm "end of the day" before, and I think I might have invoked "in Hawaii" before. Whatever it takes...
