Ugh, I'm stuck. Someone help me come up with a funny thing for Nick to do. Just shout out random ideas without thinking too hard about if it works for PBox or not; if I like it, I can make it work. I'm drawing a complete blank right now.

Start randomly juggling

Who knows what will happen with summer writing. I feel like I used to be more productive in the winter?

Do you have to work in the summer with your new position? That sucks. Summer is my most productive writing season only because of the time I have off, plus the lack of stress that comes with not working. Winter is second most productive because there's just not as much to do when the weather sucks - plus, winter break.

I was hoping to watch it last night, but I had to run a bunch of errands after school to get stuff ready for Mother's Day, and by the time I got home, I was so tired, all I did was eat dinner, watch some TV, and go to bed. Luckily I did a little writing in the morning because I did not even get on the computer last night.
So hopefully tonight! I have to watch it when it's dark so I can turn off all the lights and sit close to the TV and pretend I'm there LOL.

We had a layover in Chicago that felt like it would never end, lol. So by the time we got home at like 8pm, I just crashed and then I was fine the next day. I think the worst one for me wasn't even international. We took a red eye on Spirit Airlines to Fort Lauderdale and ended up checking into the hotel early and napping for half the morning, lol. After that, I vowed against taking overnight flights unless they're 7+ hours
You gotta sleep, even when things are exciting, lol. Your body hates you if you don't! Especially if you have to go to work. I would have just called in sick/extended my vacation.

Ugh, that does sound terrible! I have a hard time sleeping on planes. I will doze, but I never really fall asleep long enough to make a difference.
The trade-off for teachers having summers off and holiday breaks is that it's so hard to take off other time during the school year. I only got two personal days per year at that time, so I had to take a dock day just to be able to go on those cruises, and the thought of calling in sick after taking three days off just filled me with so much guilt, I couldn't do it. Not to mention I hate writing sub plans, especially when I already haven't been there in three days and have no idea how much of what I planned the class actually got through or what kind of mess I'm coming back to. So I just sucked it up and dragged myself to school.
