Thursday’s thirteen: Why I don’t have time to write a TT
I was thinking about all the reasons I don’t have time to write a Thursday’s thirteen this week and then realized that I could do one.
Thirteen reason why I can’t do a Thursday’s thirteen this week.
- I’m tired.
- I worked in my garden and my arms, back and everything hurts. Is it possible for hair to hurt?
- I still need to put in my tomatoes into my garden. I know-I know, it’s August and way too late to be planting this late in the season. But the lady at Home Depot’s garden department gave me such a good deal on them, I just had to buy them. The poor things needed a home.
- I just erased my computer’s memory after a virus or whatever if was made it crash, and I have to add all my programs back in. And it takes way too much time!
- I need to catch up on the writing time I lost, because my computer crashed.
- I think there’s a critique on my critique group this week and just can’t afford the extra brain cells to spend writing a TT.
- I need to spend time with hubby before he starts the crush season at the local winery. When that happens, he works nights as the graveyard foreman and when he’s home he’s asleep, leaving me feeling like a widow.
- I need to get my daughter moving, so she can get ready for college which starts next week.
- I need to make sure hubby and my daughter have their chores done before next week. After next week they’re not going to get anything done, because they will be too busy.
- Argh!!! Why does everything have to start next week?
- Taking deep breaths before next week, so panic doesn’t set in.
- I need to do the laundry before . . . yes, next week.
- Did I mention that I was tired?

I’ve compiled many lists like these. Here’s hoping that after all that stuff starts, you get a chance to stop.
Hi Sidney,
Thank you. It’s a work in progress, but what eating me is I know something will not get done, and then I’m in the poop.
Janice~
LOL! And you did a TT!
*hugs*

My TT is at http://paigetylertheauthor.blogspot.com/
Hi Paige,
Yeah, I did.
Janice~
Take a deep breath and tackle one thing at a time.
Hi Heather,
Okay, I took a deep breath.
Janice~
Awww, poor girl. I’m sure everything will get done somehow, it always does.
Happy T13!
Hi Adelle,
I sure hope so.
Janice~
Best wishes. You can do it!
Hi Darla,
Thank you. I sure hope so.
Janice~
*sighs softly* Boy do I know the feeling. Just make sure to take care of yourself and give yourself a reward for surviving this week and next (which you WILL survive).
Hi Tatiana,
Thank you. Hubby’s treating me to a movie, so I will get a reward.
Do you promise I will survive?
Janice~
Oh dear, now I’m tired. lol No, I was already tired but you’ve outdone me. I’d much rather be waiting for the siding to be put on the house than have to deal with a crashed computer. That’s a stresser every author never wants — EVER. Hugs, Janice, I’m sure you’ll accomplish everything beautifully.
Hi Cassie,
Thank you so much. Your so sweet.
Yup, it’s been a rough week with another one waiting in the wings. I just hope things start straightening out.
Janice~
Sorry there’s so much at once! Great way to turn that distraction into a TT!
Happy T13,

Hi Xakara,
Thank you. When I was listing the reasons to myself, I realized I had enough to do a TT.
Janice~
I’ll join you with being tired and with too much to do, Janice.
It is school season again and I dread it.
Hi Lisa,
Yeah, your little one is still in school, isn’t she. I feel for you, I really do.
My daughter is in college, and you have to pay for their school books. But at least she’s getting a ride to school two of the four days she has to go. That only leaves two days for me to take her, and the traffic is much better than taking her to regular school. So some ways it’s better, although the expense is more.
