Sleep deprived
My life must be preparing me for our hopeful baby because I couldn’t sleep last night and was waking often. That’ll teach me to listen to NPR before bed. I’m trying not to think about the war other than to send our a prayer now and then because it sends me into a panic and there’s nothing I can do.
Sheri has assigned me a lot of work and that’s keeping me nice and busy. I’m learning a lot more about practical organizational type, writer-ly things. I’m grateful that I’m not a perfectionist because I’m having to be happy with “good enough” an awful lot these days.
Sheri and I were going over some editorial stuff last night and she started telling me that she knows it will be extremely hard for me to keep up this pace when the baby arrives and that she’s been thinking about other things I can do for the magazine. It all sounds interesting and I feel very flexible about doing whatever needs to be done. Hopefully in the next few months she’ll know better about where they’ll need me to go. It’s awfully nice of her to thinking about my personal life when assigning stories; I notice she does that for a lot of people. I really don’t know how she keeps track of us all in her head! I think she has one of those datebook organizer brains because the amount of information she has filed away is really amazing and on every imaginable subject.
