I&#8217;m so excited for it to be over to resume my normal life. I&#8217;m actually looking forward to getting back to Ana and Christian and all the mean things I want to say about them. But let&#8217;s take a look at my to-do list and see how much I&#8217;ve gotten done:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strike>I&#8217;ll be volunteering at my daughter&#8217;s preschool on two days.<\/strike><span style=\"color:red;\">\u00a0By the third day volunteering, I had the routine down and it was pretty painless. Or, I had Stockholm syndrome, but either way.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strike>One of those is her birthday. This necessitates cupcakes at school and a cake at home.<\/strike><span style=\"color:red;\">\u00a0Instead of cupcakes (I hate frosting things), daughter decided on Unicorn Poop Cookies, and while the birthday cake I made her wasn&#8217;t my best work, it was edible and it&#8217;s over now.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strike>I&#8217;ll need to take her to get her school picture retaken, as well.<\/strike><span style=\"color:red;\">\u00a0Happening as I type this.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Still on the conference committee.<\/li>\n<li>Still the president.<\/li>\n<li>Still need to give a speech.<\/li>\n<li>Need to go over my presentation, write where necessary.<\/li>\n<li><strike>Bring snack to my son&#8217;s scout meeting.<\/strike><span style=\"color:red;\">Maybe not an Angry Birds snack next time, as it resulted in flinging food, but hey. It worked.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div>All I have to do now is get my presentation finished and my speech completely written, but I&#8217;ll do that in the hotel room tonight. Because I&#8217;m a professional.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The shittier part of this story is that my stressful week is exhibiting physical manifestations. I have a sty on my eye, the worst acne I&#8217;ve had since high school, and a canker sore swelling up my lip like I got punched. I fully expect to wake tomorrow with a hump on my back and an old school wooden leg. But it&#8217;s a writing conference, not a beauty pageant, and it&#8217;s nearly over. This entire ordeal is nearly over.<\/div>\n<div>Then, I&#8217;ll spend Sunday in bed. All of Sunday. I hope I get a bed sore.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>See you on Monday, when I will post a new recap and a photo of my bedsore.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, D-Rock and I did the best show we&#8217;ve ever done.
