You play really well. I always wanted to play piano but never had the patience to practice.

I love your shirt. "I can do anything"
I'm glad you're documenting this. You're doing so many good things.

Hmm... lost my comment (computer issues).

This is a bit of a 'wake'.
d
1. Casserole delivery? Can someone babysit with tea, coffee, crumpets? An old auntie, parent, student, neighbor, friend... someone from church. Not there to do anything except give emotional support.
2. Can your husband take a day or two off... if necessary?
3. What more can be delegated or hired out like you did with the piano?
4. Is there anyone else who can meet with the landlord?
5. You seem to be good at organizing, delegating, knowing your limits, physical and otherwise. Have you given yourself a pat on the back? You deserve one.

When you reread this next year and sigh, "what was I thinking", you'll have a good enough reminder not to do it again!

I haven't ignored you but I do want to apologize for waiting so long to comment. Memorializing this journey is most suitable for getting back to blogging. It may also help you in the future looking back.

Come September, I hope you can get back to writing poetry and/or songs. And keep blogging...

Wow. Just wow! Good luck. My hat's off to you. I hope things work out and you'll be able to get some help soon.

In response to "Outlining Your Novel: Traditional Outlining"

I think the spreadsheet method makes a lot of sense. Since you mentioned it, I opened up a blank Word document (not a spreadsheet) and typed "outline" in the search box. It gave me the perfect outlining format in a Word document.

.

I'm not going to use it for my NaNoPrep because I am posting everything to my portfolio, but I might use it during NaNoWriMo to keep my chapters and parts straight.

Aw, thanks, Richard ~ Merry, Merry! You may have noticed that I like using spreadsheets for a lot of things.

Polarismageddon, Day 2

Yesterday, I:

- met with a contractor who looked at my Gahanna project and is currently working on a quote. He also answered questions and gave some suggestions about how to find and install a storage lift system.

- finally spoke with the sign company guy and scheduled a meeting for today on site in Gahanna about installing my Polaris exterior neon signage in the lobby of my Gahanna location. Him: "Do you want it illuminated or not illuminated." Me: ***Um, duh.***

- ran the reception desk in Polaris all night and got answers from literally every present Tuesday student to the question: Are you stopping, switching to virtual, or switching to Gahanna. I got all three answers from the population.

- processed "paperwork" (what my reception staff still calls electronic task checklists) for all the aforementioned withdrawals and changes of lesson format and/or location.

- scheduled about ten thousand makeup lessons.

- loaded up an office chair from Polaris to deliver to my finance manager's house today because it wouldn't fit in her car to take it home herself.

Also, I did NOT get enough sleep.

Peace,
Michelle
