So...what are we gonna do about it?
Well, I'll start by putting away all the Christmas decorations. And, following the lead of DR Cillaliz, I've been working on preliminary preparations for a conference/vacation trip for DH Richard and myself: Washington, DC, June 23-July 1, for the American Library Association Annual Conference.
Here at work, the Grantseeking Basics workshop that I present every month needs revamping (new PowerPoint, new handouts). And 2 college instructors called yesterday to set up times for me to guest-lecture their students. In the last 10 minutes, 2 of my nonprofit clients have stopped by to chat and next week the professional organizations start up their regular schedules again.
And, in my dreaded volunteer project, which is actually planning a state-wide conference, only 4 of the 36 total hours are still out of focus. I may have a telephonic conversation this evening that'll help with that.
