Now what?

So I've finished the last of my "big commitments". I just found out that I'm off the hook for baking 200 mini-cupcakes for the GLBT booth for Diversity Day at work. (I'm still on the hook for overall booth design -- had fun playing for the first time with Adobe Illustrator doing a mockup for the budgeting presentation. We had the best-looking presentation there. Also still on the hook for helping with the historic timeline part of the booth design. Once a pelican, always a pelican ....) So when do I get to take my new Element off on a mundance camping-in-the-redwoods weekend? Let's see, this weekend I have a work dinner Friday then Olympics-on-Tivo at scotica's place on Saturday. Next weekend it's a road trip to Vegas with klwilliams. The weekend after that is Purgatorio, but I NEED A BREAK. So I think that's my escape to the redwoods weekend. The weekend after that is Labor Day, so I'm not sure I could count on finding camping space anywhere nice. Besides which, it's the Slow Food Nation festival in San Francisco and I'm planning to foodie to my heart's content.

Huh. My life is theoretically unscheduled at this point and I have the next four weekends solidly booked. What's up with that? I've also decided that tomorrow I'm going to stay at work until I have both my current reports turned in. (I've packed dinner as well as lunch.) I've gotten so frustrated with not being able to start an uninterrupted work session until the middle of the afternoon and I just want to get these things DONE. No, I don't get comp time. I just get sanity.
