I’ve got the entire week off next week. On Monday, I get to stay home with Alex while the wife goes off and does…something…wifey. On Tuesday, I’m traipsing into Des Moines to spend the day in a coffee shop somewhere and write. All day long. Or at least most of the day. Wednesday, I get to attend my son’s Pre-K Thanksgiving breakfast celebration in the morning, and then back to DM for some more writing. Thursday is turkey and pumpkin pie at the mother-in-law’s house (if the weather is good), or my parents’ house (if the weather is nasty, as it sounds like it might be). Hopefully, more writing will be done on these days. I’m hoping to get out of this major deficit I’ve found myself in before the end of the week.

Maybe I’ll find the time to finally finish Metroid Prime 3! I’m hoping to reward myself for reaching 50,000 with Super Mario Galaxy, so I need to get MP3 out of the way to clean the plate before that. Of course, if I don’t hit 50,000, I guess I won’t need to worry about it, will I?

Well, that’s not a very optimistic way of looking at things.
