I am very close to finishing the project that’s due next. This is good, because it had been due the 17th, but the editor cut her vacation short so now I have to get it in on the 10th. Monday.

I am so close, I can see the end. I can stretch out my arm and almost touch it.

After this one, one more to go.

I have learned this much from my summer: Money is not worth your sanity, your health, your happiness, your every weekend, your dreams. I know there will be consequences, but I don’t want to do this anymore.
