Champagne and Socks

I spent the time from 8.30 am til 10 am today panicking because there was only 3 weeks between now and June 8th aka Natcon. And I have books still to complete and send to the printer’s for this con. I feel proud that at least at some point in the panic, and oh there was heart stopping, then restarting, sheer panic, I figured out that I had again (yes not the first time) completely blanked on the month of May. I have no idea what that is about but I seem to completely FORGET a WHOLE MONTH of the year. Poor Amanda and Tehani got crazy lady emails. Because yes, even when faced with the impossible (there is no way those books could have been at Natcon if there really were only 3 weeks left), I still formulated a plan that I got stuck into executing. Never say die, I guess.

So you see, I gained FOUR WEEKS this morning at 10am. And this is how one can create time. Though personally? I do not care for it.

I can’t believe I forgot May. Twice.

Anyway. I have about 3 blog posts drafted here to finish and I think they all start out with some words on a bit of a funk that I’ve been in. I haven’t been able to get myself to blog even though I have several, probably a week’s worth, of posts sketched out. I just hadn’t been able to get myself going. On anything. You can always tell because my craft output cranks up. This weekend I fell into a hole and watched an entire season (Season 3) of Real Housewives of New Jersey and worked on a jumper I’m knitting. I didn’t even watch the previous 2 seasons of that show. I found the whole season recorded on my Foxtel from like last October. I inhaled it like it was oxygen. OMG I loved it. And I got a lot of knitting done. But not much else. And I had no idea how I was going to winch myself out of this funk.

Apparently FORGETTING MAY works! Got my heart pumping and my brain racing and my focus on. And I got THINGS DONE today, yo! So, ah, yeah, that worked.

Anyway. Someone kindly nominated this blog for The Best Australian Blogs Competition 2012. I’m hoping to get those posts I’ve got sketched up onto the blog through this week to regain my blogging chops. But if you like my blog (Champagne and Socks), I’d appreciate your vote! You can also vote for more than one blog so totally consider giving some love to Tansy (Stitching Words, One Thread at a Time), Sean (Adventures of a Blogonaut) and the Australian Women’s Writing Challenge blogs as well! You don’t have to be an Aussie to vote.
