After a long, pathetic hiatus from my official post as a blogger, I figured it's time to skulk my way back to web notoriety. My subsequent postings will just have to be a reflection of my glamorous, fast-paced dance life...
The real reason that I'm back to blogging is because I spent my day as a grant writer for The Space/Movement Project's latest funding endeavors. And when I say "my day" and "grant writer" I mean this:
10:00 am-Drag myself out of bed and turn on computer
10:30 am- Stare at the grant proposal application I'm working on
11:00 am- Put a load of laundry in the wash.
Noon- start writing/make lunch
1:00 pm More laundry
2:30 pm-G-mail chat
3:00 pm- Get to work. Wondering about peanut butter cookie in the kitchen.
3:10 pm- Go to kitchen to defrost food for dinner. Grab peanut butter cookie.
The pattern is apparent and inevitable. The joys of working from home.
Writing grants is a painstaking process that requires such severe attention to language that my head starts to spin more rapidly with every subsequent copy and paste or synonym look up. I'm completely excited to be involved in such a vital part of TSMP's development, but if I have to type "TSMP" or "development" one more time today I might just throw this rickety old Dell out the window.
Getting to the good part. After a day of meticulous writing I wanted nothing more than to return to my belovedly neglected blogspot. A place where run-ons are expected and I can make up words like belovedly. I don't have to support my comments with a detailed history and budget, and, obviously, there are no deadlines.
It's good to be back.
