My fingers are itching to open up my book so that I can give it one last read-through, but so far I'm resisting the urge. I'm trying to give myself about a week -- OK, at least five days -- off from the novel. I've learned that it's best if I give my mind a break and come back to the story with fresh eyes.
So, the last couple of nights I've been watching "Glee" (Who knew it was so good?) and reading "Best Friends Forever" by Jennifer Weiner (It's growing on me.) and dusting. My house has suffered from my writing. My bathroom, kitchen and floors are getting scrubbed less often and there's a very thick layer of dust covering most surfaces. Now, I don't dust very often just because I despise it so much, but it's been a while now, even for me.
It's going to be my birthday on Saturday, so I want to get the dusting done before then (not likely, admittedly) so I don't have to worry about it on my birthday weekend (yes, I get a whole weekend). Then again, I'm about due for some rest and relaxation, aren't I? Maybe I'll just read a good book. Maybe it'll be my own ...
