Yet Another Exhausting Week

shannon_a1.) Early in the week, I had to make an unexpected trip with Kimberly to a doctor's appointment. The doctor's appointment wasn't an emergency or anything as it had been on her calendar for a few weeks. But she wasn't up to going on her own due to fuzzy head. Fortunately, I was finishing up work on a book I've been editing for Skotos, so I was able to push it over to my laptop and work while I was out and about.
2.) On Friday, Kimberly had oral surgery. I'll have to say that my exhaustion related to this is certainly much less than hers, but I have been busy doing extra housework, collecting extra groceries to give her soft food she can eat, and generally staying on top of things.
3.) Saturday was another Pathfinder run, and one that required quite a bit of prep. We've been shockingly consistent lately, just when I've gotten very busy. Unshockingly, side treks keep the campaign ending in the distance. This would be the campaign I was sure would end in 2013.
4.) Early in the week I also got the index for Designers & Dragons: The '90s, which meant that I suddenly had 10-15 hours of polishing to do in my evening and weekend hours.
5.) Late in the week I also got the second draft layouts for Designers & Dragons: The '00s, which meant that I suddenly had several hours of review to do in my evening and weekend hours, particularly on an article that I'd done a piecemeal revision of after it was in layout.
(I had long dreaded the possibility of simultaneously getting high-priority Designers & Dragons work from two different sources on our team — which is the danger of pushing 4 books out at the same time!)
On the bright side, things are quieted down now! Kimberly is safely ensconced with good food and hopefully recovering. My RPG session went well. All of the immediate Designers & Dragons work is done (the layouts at midnight last night; the index at 11pm tonight). The Kickstarter itself is going quite well. I even spent about 2 hours today on a restful bike ride. I went up to Lake Temescal, finished the first pass on the index there, enjoyed the sun, and then returned. Sadly, a couple of the roads were totally jammed on the way back (Old Tunnel Road & College) because students and student-families are filling the town, but having a bike I was undeterred.
Tomorrow: Back to Skotos work.
