I feel like I should be trying to juggle more, like I'm not really working. And then I remind myself that there' also a two-days-a-week office job in there, plus traveling every damn weekend from here until August to support the book, plus the usual detrius of actually having a healthy life (cooking, cleaning, laundry, a smidge of a social life, etc).

But I'd feel better if I had a few more external deadlines....
