It all comes down to balance

On Saturday the most difficult month of the year starts for me. I will have to balance home/family, work, and writing a 50,000 word novel while also finding time to sleep and eat. My guy will probably take the time to work overtime because he thinks I won't even notice. I do notice by the way but I'm focused, it's one of the things he loves about me so he can complain too much. He's very supportive though.

I had planned on having my Christmas stuff done by now but I don't. So I guess I will have to find time to do that as well. I do not want to be stuck shopping in December in crowded malls, plus I have to mail a few of our gifts and I don't want them to be late. Cards are easy as least. We can do those fairly quickly then mail them off on Dec. 1st.

Anyway, as supportive as those around me are it's still going to take a lot of balance to deal with everything. You can't avoid bosses, or ignore everyone else around you without making them lose patients with you.
