I forgot to write my blog for today. Well, not exactly. Obviously I wrote one because here it
is. The problem is that I didn't write
it ahead of time as I usually do. I try
to get my blog posted by noon (or shortly after) each Saturday. Right now it's Saturday
at 11:15AM Central time and I'm just starting to write without having anything
firmly in my mind beyond a general concept.
How did this happen? That's
a good question. And the answer is—Long Holiday
Weekend. Instead of having extra time
available due to a Holiday, I have confusion due to the fact that today is the
third Sunday this week and there's still one more Sunday to go before things
return to normal (or as normal as
things get for a writer).
Last Wednesday seemed like Saturday because it was
preparation for the next day's Thanksgiving holiday—out-of-town relatives
visiting, grocery shopping the day before Thanksgiving (talk about large
shopping crowds at a store!), preparing my assigned dish to take to my
brother's house for the large gathering and feast. Which, of course, made the next day seem like
Sunday even though it was only Thursday.
Then yesterday, the day after Thanksgiving and in reality only Friday,
naturally seemed like Sunday. And since
today isn't Monday, it must be Sunday…again.
Are you noticing a pattern here?
:)
And there's still tomorrow, the fourth Sunday—the real one—before things finally return to
normal on Monday.
If you are the one who had all the friends and family to
your house for Thanksgiving turkey with all the traditional trimmings, you've
probably been eating leftovers for two days and by now you don't want to see
another turkey sandwich for a while.
