Despite the fact that I only recently quit the singles league, I have a singles match this afternoon. One of the new players called last week and caught me feeling kind and generous. So rare! Anyway, I agreed to sub for her today. The weather should be great and I haven't played at all this week, so I should be excited, but I'm not. Partly because my opponent can't play until 5:00 so I will have an hour to burn this afternoon. With all that I have going on, I can't really spare the hour. But I guess I could just accept it and use the time to relax and read or listen to music or an audiobook. Forced time off. I'm not good at it though. I will be worrying about all the work in my office at home, I'm sure.
I do feel a little encouraged about the current workload and making our deadlines. I visited Jolie yesterday and mentioned the ton of layouts still to be done and it's like she suddenly got it. She's coming over this weekend to pick up a bunch of work. Knowing that they're repeat calendars might've helped. Lots of copy and paste, huge time saver. The new artist has received the package that I sent and it sounds like he's doing well. I just hope and pray that he's working quickly.
After leaving Jolie's house I went to the library and checked out some books. I've begun to feel guilty about purchasing so many lately. My bookcase is overflowing and I'm not sure what to do with the excess. I used to be a regular in the library. Every three weeks I was there, choosing my next selections. I saw lots of old favorites while perusing the stacks. I could have filled my arms with books, but I only allowed myself three. Any more and I probably wouldn't get them read in time.
