In approximately 15 hours I will be on my way to spectacular Santa Fe, New Mexico. I will be traveling with my mother, her sister, her sister's best friend, and her sister's best friend's daughter. Weather.com tells us that it will be 60 degrees and mostly sunny for most of the time we are there. Which is a big step up from the cold, drizzly Kansas pseudo-spring we are currently experiencing.
I will have finally finished a draft of the script I have been putting together, off and on, for the past 8 months. I will finish the final section (section six out of eight) in the next hour, if everything goes well, and will send it on it's way to my editors tomorrow morning. That will allow me some breathing room for the trip, although I will allow it to plague me to some extent, as I will need to start memorizing and staging as soon as I return to my home turf. I will also need to begin learning my lines for As You Like It, and read for Western Civ II (a novel idea, I know). This, however, is what 15 hour car trips and Dramamine are for.
On my trip proper, I plan to take lots of long walks in uncharted territory, buy some fancy silver jewelry, drink wine and other assundry fancy beverages, nap, talk to my lady friends, read a couple of books for pleasure (Harry Potter VI, here I come!), and generally have the first relaxing vacation I've been able to partake in since August. I might even see some of the local artifacts/culture, like a good little traveler.
In the real world, the proverbial shit is about to hit the proverbial fan. I have too much to do in waaaaaay too little time. In the magical world of Spring Break, though: Life. Is. Beautiful. And all I can say is: Thank GOD.

When you refer to your "editors," does that include me? I have something of a hunch that it just might.
