Time to Get Busy in My Favorite Way

.

You could probably feel my palpable joy yesterday at 3:40 pm. For the first time since I returned to work from vacation, 1-1/2 weeks ago, I've felt relief at passing all my recent deadlines. Deep breath . . . exhale. Whew!

I returned from vacation to jump right into a 4-day audit. That was quickly followed up by filing 8 sales tax returns and yesterday at 3:40 concluded the conference call with The Bully and others reviewing their Accounts Receivable. (I hadn't spoken with The Bully in weeks because he stood me up on the last two scheduled calls, which was fine of course. But I was surprised at my reaction yesterday, "Oh yeah, this guy." I'd forgotten how he behaves. But he doesn't bother me in the least anymore.)

I was so happy to free up my brain, I had a little Facebook Party at my desk. Meaning, I poked around Facebook aimlessly, brainlessly, on company time. Par-tay.

Now I feel like I can really bear down on Pine Tree Designs work. I have a new shipment of paper coming in Monday. I have to order more notepads and glue this morning, but mostly I have to assemble a ton of stuff I have ready to go. I don't want to be the kind of person who works better with deadlines, but I suppose it's human nature a bit.

I finally received official confirmation that I've been accepted into this new show, The Finger Lakes Riesling Festival. I'd seen my name on their list of vendors on their website but it was still good to get their phone call and email yesterday.
