Can I skip Monday's and go straight to Tuesdays?

Please?

Seriously, I used to love Monday's! Monday was my day of quiet after the weekend. A day to chat with friends online or email ... now Monday is probably the day I loath the most. It doesn't seem to matter how I prepare or how early I try to get a start on it ... it's never enough!!!

Monday to me now means getting up early - after a late night of counting inventory and trying to get it entered in the excel form for Monday morning. If it were only the inventory data I had to deal with, life would be pretty smelling bubbles - but it's not.

In a few hours time I need to have an entire weeks worth of summaries and calculations and data all printed up and neatly presented - on top of phone calls, customers and staff issues AND all of the emails that seem to flood in on Sunday night while I'm at home entering data.

By the end of my work Monday I sit there and decide how much I really need to keep my job.

I just want my Monday back, my quiet, my zen ... please?

I think my week should just skip Monday's I could double up on Saturdays or something for now or maybe two Tuesdays. "I'm sorry I don't have a Monday on my schedule, I'll have to get back to you later."

Tuesday is my supposed only day off each week, so two Tuesdays for me please!!!

From A Dream is out!!

I am so happy the second part to Jennah and Dominic's story is out!

I just found out that the first part In Our Dream received 5 delightful divas at Dark Diva Reviews.

*********************

Jennah has found happiness. She wasn’t looking for it but isn’t about to give it up now that she has it. Everything she craved for years was now right in front of her--a man that makes her feel cherished, a peaceful life, and a job she enjoys. It all changes when she wakes up in a dark hole, alone, unarmed and unable to connect with the one man she’s grown to need.

Dominic realizes he is one of those men that wants the whole package of marriage and a family, and he’s found the woman to have that with. He’s going stir crazy having to stay hidden until the leader of a criminal organization is caught, but he’s more than willing to stay right here with her.

All of his plans evaporate when a vindictive criminal takes her from him as a hostage. He won’t rest until she’s in his arms again.

Jennah Best left the adrenaline packed life of being a cop on the edge for a more peaceful place. She escaped a marriage that almost destroyed her and now lives her life working for a small police station in the town of Ridge. She’s accepted that it’s too late and too much work to start all over again, until she meets a man in a dream...

Dominic Palmer has always proven he can get the job done. Or at least, that was the case before he accepted a job and agreed to go undercover as an inmate. When months go by and there’s no word from his outside contact, he wonders if he’s been left on the inside for good. He’s fighting to stay alive and keep his sanity, but finds himself completely distracted by a mysterious woman he met in a dream...

You can find both at Amria Press

A day off!!

I have a day off! An entire day where I do not HAVE to go to the cafe

and do anything ... and I will fight with myself to not go there several times

through out today.

I know that the staff is finally at the point where they can make those little

decisions without me there to nod my head and I know

they will handle any rushes with ease now and I know if there is a decision or

problem they will call me if they're not sure how to proceed ...

I know all of that yet I will at some point end up there "just for a minute" and if the minute

is anything like last week it turned into four hours because I answered the phone

and found out one of the managers from head office was on their way there.

Now I need to decide how I want to spend my "day off".

I could do inventory data for

the cafe ...

I could sit and read all day and not think about work ...

or proofing, I have several stories that need proofing so I can send them on.

I also have several plots roughly mapped out that I am dying to dive into, but made promise to myself that I would tie up all unfinished (not contracted) work before I start anything else - whether I actually do that remains to be seen.

There is laundry to do, but I'd rather pretend that's not there if at all possible ...

my house appears to already be clean and I must praise my family for doing that and possibly apologize for being so busy I didn't notice it until this morning when I had a few moments to meander around and notice!

I just realized my fifth book comes out on Friday! No, I knew it was coming out - it's the fifth part that has just dawned on me. No wonder my brain is in limbo ... In six months time five books have been published and two more are contracted to be published!!

Maybe I'll just spend my day off surfing and trying to remember what relaxing feels like...
