Four days at home have flown by entirely too quickly, and — as I’m afraid I expected — I didn’t get any reading done. Tomorrow morning I have a seminar for which I need to have read some 600 pages, and I’m still a couple of hundred shy. Lucky for me I have some travel time and a few hours on my own in a hotel this evening to get that done. I really must start managing my time more efficiently.

On that subject, I’ve got just three hours until I leave for the airport, and I’ve still got way too much to do. Actually, that’s not really true … rather, I’ve got too much to do to be sitting here in front of the computer. If I were to get up and get busy, I could knock everything off my list in a half-hour, probably. But my coffee’s still warm, and my baby’s asleep, and for the moment nobody’s making any demands on my time, so I think I’ll sit a while longer.
