Oh my goodness there is so much on the go right now it is actually unbelievable.
Right this minute I should be researching and writing an op-ed piece that is due in less than 24 hours. And for someone who is mortally afraid of deadlines, that is a seriously short time.
The good news is that the emails I sent out regarding doing freelance work have come to something, very exciting! But wow, am I writing unfit. I used to churn out a feature piece and news story in an hour flat, back in my young and ambitious days. Now I break into a cold sweat at 800 words.
Well, I suppose the only way you get over something you are afraid of is to just do it.
And in other news, I avoided getting a traffic fine today by using my baby as an excuse...
Feel super guilty about it. I was driving home from coffee with a friend, when I went into a turning lane, only for it to end and become a painted island. And there was a cop, standing waiting to give out fines...
So while searching for my driver's licence, I said, "I'm so sorry, I was just trying to get my baby home in time for her bath..."
Which was a bit of a fib, seeing as she was fast asleep in her car seat (the one time I wish she was screaming in the car!)
Anyway, so they let me go without a fine. And I felt really bad for the white lie. But at least I don't feel bad about getting a fine! Oops.
