Flat Emma

Today I:
Woke up, two or three times;
Picked on the dog;
Walked to a mysteriously packed cafe;
Revised, edited, re-wrote, and cued my upcoming Big Speech;
Unnecessarily rushed to lunch;
Was attacked several times by a random bird;
Set up a tent in my patio;
Got the dog to stop barking at the ferocious invading tent;
Practiced the speech as-is a dozen or so times;
Watched my running plans for the day dissolve;
Made camping plans;
Received my official credentials if ministry card;
Ran ridiculous hula-related errands;
Indulged in fast food;
Built two mock-ups of a cardboard version of my deployed friend (so she can be part of her mom's wedding);
Got halfway through the final version (and stopped until I can re-stock necessary materials);
And watched surprisingly little television.

This summer has not gone as expected.
