I may need to take a couple days off.

Burnout can be a thing, and The Dang Book has been looming large in my head lately. On the other hand, not getting things done is one reason why the book started to loom. And on the gripping hand… what, exactly, am I doing these days that could result in burnout?

PS: On top of everything else, I’m trying to remember the last time I had a vacation that didn’t have the word ‘working’ in front of it. …Does COVID quarantine count? I pretty much spent that week doing virtually nothing, after all.

Didn’t get much creative work done.

I went out for a beer with my wife, instead. I half-regret to say that I feel no shame at this. I mean, the work still has to be done, but: went out for a beer with my wife. I feel that this took precedence.

Devil of a time finding food, though. Why some localities are difficult about letting brewpubs serve food while others are not is a matter of some bemusement to me. I wouldn’t mind it so much if the rules were consistent.

My Monday: surveys, and dust.

The dust was from moving my computer across the living room. We had the kids’ computers down here during the pandemic, to make it easier for me to do tech support. But the eldest is back at school, so we moved his computer up to his room and I moved my machine away to give my youngest some distance. The new arrangement works fine; but dear Lord, the dust. So. Much. Dust.

When I wasn’t doing that, I was working on the TINSEL RAIN Kickstarter surveys. They’re almost ready to go, but I had a few questions to ask Backerkit about some red flags they have on the process. I expect to hear back from them some time around noon tomorrow, which is about when they get into the office (Pacific Time). Backerkit is very good about getting back to me with regards to tech support issues. It’s one of the major reasons I use them, in fact.

Back fully into the swing of things tomorrow, then!
