Shh. Today’s really quiet so far. Saturday mornings SHOULD have this period where no-one else is up to anything yet. The grey hath descended and halted all our neighbours’ early-morning yard work. The cicadas are no longer screaming. Traffic seems to have stopped and even the cat’s not complaining. I can hear distant crows and the whine of my computer fan and very… little… else.
I’m chatting with Rowan and I really wish we were still Living together this morning – because I don’t really feel like chatting. I want quiet company. HIS quiet company. I know he’s planning to record some things this morning and I wish that was just happening in the next room, down in the Lair perhaps.
He would have utter contempt for my coffee though.
Monday morning Kristen and I are escaping for a couple of days and it’s definitely up in the air as to whether it’s going to be too much or too little. I’ve got a wedding, 3 gigs (one in person!!!) and a folk job the weekend I come back and though the wedding seems relatively low-stress (?!?) the Folk Job seems poorly organized… none of that organization actually “should” fall to me, but it’s going to be me trying to solve any problems caused by said poor organization. It’s got me worried and I want to NOT have to worry about it while I’m away.
I’m working hard to solely be MY project manager.
But alas, writing about it now makes me think I need to be writing emails reminding people that I’ll be away which means their deadline is NOW… rather than sitting here typing to you.
I guess that’s the end of my quiet Saturday morning.
It’s time to get to work.
