I’m home from 10 days in North Carolina with family. It was chaotic and awesome, and I’m exhausted. While I was away, I got feedback from the company I hired to do an alpha read and one of my critique partners.

I haven’t looked yet. I’m still in my pajamas, actually. We drove home yesterday, and it took 13 hours. I’m tired. I am not mentally ready for edits. I’m hoping tomorrow I’ll feel a little more like myself and be ready to dive back in, but I have to admit, things are looking a little grim.

I am already getting emails about what’s happening when we go back to school in two weeks. My calendar is very full for the next three weeks, and I’m feeling a little defeated. I think this is probably part of the the exhaustion, plus vacation hangover, but I’m giving myself the day to relax and feel like a blob.

Tomorrow will be a better day…
