What's Up In Dena's World?
This week has our favorite writer feeling frazzled. To get a grip on life (and because she has, like, ZERO energy to come up with anything more creative), here's a quick peek behind the wizard's curtain:
WORK
- 2 newsletter articles
- Developmental edit on book due to editor
- Write, rewrite, rip apart and write again children's book for client
- Conduct interviews, interviews, interviews for other book for client
- Transcribe interviews, interviews, interviews
- Write book from interviews, interviews, interviews
- Compose query letter and sample columns for magazine I want to work for as a columnist
RUNNING
- Face up to the fact that due to bad weather and worse attitude, I'll most likely not show for Saturday's long awaited Uwharrie Mountain Race
- Weather has me doing most runs inside on the treadmill. Feel like I'm losing ground.
- Noticeable weight gain. Piggy needs to cut back on her food intake.
VOLUNTEER WORK
- Board notes that need to be typed
- Cover letter for grant report
- Prepare for 2 upcoming board meetings
- Sunday transport of 4 dogs from High Point to Martinsville
HOME/LIFE
- Replace windshield wiper that went flying off into space this morning when I turned it on.
- Make appointment to have cats nails trimmed
- Laundry, cleaning, blah-blah-blah
- Check in with Blair. I think we passed each other in the hall the other day?
Celebrate! Life is good.

That's a scary long list! You might be able to cross Uwharrie off your list—Josh says they're thinking of canceling it for weather/ice/rain/etc. Also, Josh is an excellent cat pedicurist, if you want to borrow him.
Uwharrie is going to make the call 24-hours beforehand. They sent out an e-mail that said even if they hold the race, the parking area is unusable due to rain, snow, and ice, so we'll all have to be bused to the start line. I'm hoping they cancel so I can save face. =)
Our cats are just looking for the chance to kill someone and claim it was self-defense. A nail trim is the perfect excuse. I wouldn't subject Josh to that.
you do have a great life!
And don't forget to floss!
