Interesting week, these last seven days.
- Won a contest I didn’t enter – tangible prize and everything (yay!). The original contest I entered rolled into another contest, which was pretty cool. Thank you to Lee Crystal and Outpost 13.
- Played drums at church for the third time in 12 1/2 years. I had told the worship leader that I don’t like to play music that’s in 3/4 time, just 4/4. Well, there were three 3/4 songs, one 6/8 song, one 4/4 song (yay!), and one song that had a repeated pattern of five measures of 5/4 time and then one measure of 3/4 time. The worship pastor hates me. I know it, deep down he hates me. It was so stressful. I was told by many people that I did great, but I still want to crawl under a rock to recover.
- Finished Diamond of Darkhold (which finishes one series I’ve been reading), reading Jumper: Griffin’s Story (which finishes another series for me), and have The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner in the queue (which will finish that series, again).
- Decided I am going back to school next year for a Master’s… unless something unforeseen comes up. I have off-and-on wanted to go back to school for four years now. I’m finally at the point where I am willing to dedicate the time and energy.
- Made five commitments on my time this weekend, overlapping commitments. It will be interesting to see how I survive. Two weeks ago I didn’t have many weekend plans and it was the busiest weekend I can remember. Maybe the one will work the other way around.
- Finished one round of edits on a short story for the FSFW anthology. Some friends, C. Michael Fontes and P. D. Wright gave me a little feedback and, as improved as it was, there is still a lot of work to be done.
