Goal Check In, Month 2

Gah, I almost don’t even want to post this. February was such a sucky month guys. SUCH A SUCKY MONTH. I mean, at least Rio didn’t almost die, so that’s something. Oh, no, wait, she DID almost die. AGAIN.

PSA: DO NOT LET YOUR DOG EAT RAISINS. RAISINS AND GRAPES ARE PHENOMENALLY POISONOUS TO DOGS. IF YOU THINK YOUR DOG MIGHT HAVE EATEN EVEN A TINY 1.5 OUNCE BOX OF RAISINS MEANT FOR YOUR TODDLER, CALL YOUR VET RIGHT AWAY.

I cannot stress this enough. Time is of the essence when it comes to inducing vomiting, etc.

Let’s see, what else?

Um, there was the childcare that was supposed to have started up again after a one month hiatus, but mostly didn’t, due in part to sickness and other emergencies on the part of my childcare provider, and in part on the sickness of Queenie (stomach flu followed by killer cold, which I think she must have given to her childcare provider). So… that was great for my schedule, too.

Then there was the book that wouldn’t die. At this point, it’s 30k longer than I’d originally planned, which is why the draft ended up being turned in over two weeks after I told my editor she could have it. In all honesty, this book could probably have been two books, but I can’t tell you how much I’m not going there.

And then there’s all kinds of stuff that’s not even fodder for blogging about, but it’s weighing heavily on my mind.

So I want to cry when I look at my goal check in for last month and realize I haven’t done a single solitary thing on that list. Nothing. It’s almost halfway through March and I haven’t even started on my garden.

Okay, pity party done. Hopefully I’ll be really hardcore these next two weeks.
