Rewarding yourself

Nov 23, 2004

By 4:30 this afternoon I had done 17 pages. Yea! Since Jon’s Mom, Mary, takes Trinity to dance lessons I was able to reward myself for finishing the work day early. How? a long, relaxing bath. Gotta love the jacuzzi tub. I finished a Nero Wolfe mystery that I’d been reading, PLEASE PASS THE GUILT. Though I know myself too well to believe I can just relax for too long, so I have a large sticky pad wrapped in water proof stuff with a pen on the reading tray. Just in case the muse strikes, I don’t have to get out and drip water all over everything. With books and paper so near water, a small towel or dry wash rag is your friend. Otherwise you smear your notes and ruin your books. One of the few downsides to one of my favorite ways to relax.
Jon just got back from the airport with our friend Greg. Whom I haven’t seen in awhile, so I’m going downstairs to visit.
