Done travelling!

Holy moly, it's good to be back. Lots and LOTS to do, most of it before ... eek! Tomorrow!

The trip was fantastic - if low on sleep and rest.

INATS was wonderful, we really networked like crazy, and I hope that follow-up is good. :)

I have a billion and three emails to go through... and LOTS of pictures to download. I'm sick of airlines, and airline food, but otherwise, still rather jazzed. I bought art supplies, and saw the zoo, and the scenic routes of Denver's freeways several times, and am very, very happy to be back to the peace and quiet of my birch forest. I met wonderful people, and got some beautiful photos and am way, way behind on things like LJ and forums and lists. Now, I have to go work. If I have time, I'll do a full report, but July 1 is payday for EMG and PA, and I'm *supposed* to have the Atlantis book laid out by then, and I've got sme orders to fill, and LOTS of PA work to post and lots of webupdates to do... and... and... and...

*flees*

Revisit of June's list so I have today to tackle the things left...

EMG site - I need something browseable and buyable up by the end of the month.
Commissions -
final sketch on Angles - eep!
Arachne girl finished. - haven't mailed - waiting for final payment installment.
Two SDs, at least. (sort of an on-going goal - these actually PAY, so that's important. Leonie- due 3 June)
INATS - buy plane tickets, make products, write to Tom and Karen again, plan wardrobe. Maybe make wings with mom?
Wish3 - hassle the printer. AGAIN. - well, gave up on that printer, found another, just have to pay artists and see if I have any money left... and hope I get paid for my INATS expenses someday...
Card Game - border and back design - argh! Didn't get it done.
Jenny-Bjorn - finish rough draft - argh! Didn't even TOUCH This.
EA; Visions of Atlantis - ALL FINAL LAYOUT AND DESIGN BY 1 July.* - aaaaah! Doubting I'll make this now, but it is one of my major goals for today.
Angel design for Masterstouch manufacturing.
Bellydancing moose bookcover by 4 June.

That's a lot more art than I'd guessed. Cripes, actually, that's a TON of work. A few ommissions that won't be tackled until next month, which should be a LOT less frantic. But I always say that.

Downsides to travel...

Gah, I'm tired. Took a brief nap on the couch with the cat, but still having major difficulties getting going. I'm not going to feel too bad if I don't get much of my list done today, all things considered. I don't think the kind folks at EA will lynch me if I don't get this book done by tomorrow if I let them know what's up.

Also can feel that my energy levels are at a serious low... I was fairly appalled to weigh myself at Tom and Karen's (we were going to weigh boxes, mostly I avoid scales) and find that I'm down to 111. Not good. I hope their scale is just off, but it's very possible I've shed some weight under the stress I'm juggling. And travelling is hell on my appetite. Jake commented a few times that there wasn't much of me to hug, so it's quite possible that the scale was right. :/

It's very, very nice being back in my birch trees, with birds and squirrels instead of traffic out the windows. Smokey, but that's normal this time of year. And my BED! Oh, the comfort... that memory foam was a score. That was the first really GOOD night's sleep I've had in over a week. And I had a husband to cuddle with! I missed that a ton.

Okay, okay, go eat some lunch and watch my lunchtime sci fi, and then back to the book, and see if I remember how to drive and go get the PILES of mail I probably have waiting for me... Got the intro and the history laid out, about ready to tackle the bios. Maybe I'll finish the legacy section first, but bios need to be sorted so I can nag folks for the missing ones. Getting there!
