the lonesome lows don't quite go away overnight

The minute I start RPing again*, I get swamped.
The minute I get swamped, I get ideas for fun projects**.

GRAH, BOUT WEEK.

Today: Do the work. Finish the paperwork. Go to the place. Talk to the people***. Solve problems! Ignore that your day off is no longer your day off.
Tomorrow: Do the work. Finish the paperwork. Get adjusted. Go to practice. Skate, skate, skate.
Thursday: Do the work. Write? Get the money from the bank. Do more work. Write? Do all the work. Write?!
Friday: Do some work. WRITE.
Saturday: SKATE. Don't get stupiddrunk.
Sunday: Take a breath. Write. Update the site. Watch the shows. Breathe, breathe, breathe.

And then there's a month-long break between bouts, which, thank GOD, because I have about a million things to get done. During my "off" month, I need to:
- attend a wedding (get gift for wedding)
- work a trivia night
- attend a team meeting (always stressful)
- finish remix
- finish (start) rarewomen
- finish? fivetimesbb
- get a clear start on fandom_helps and rainbow_support fics
- practice twice a week
- work late once a week
- treat myself to a tattoo if I do all the things? (or if I don't)
