I just got back from Iowa, visiting family. My nephew got baptized over the weekend, so we had a big family get-together, and Future Mrs. Vasicek came with me, so it was her first time spending any significant amount of time with my family.
Overall, it went very well, though the train was delayed for more than six hours in Denver on the way back, so we didn’t arrive home in Provo until nearly 4am. But Future Mrs. Vasicek didn’t break up with me on the train like my last girlfriend, so everything’s pretty good.
When you travel across the country by train, you kind of go into this fuzzy place where you’re not fully awake but never fully asleep either. For that reason, I didn’t get much writing done, since I didn’t trust myself to do good work while I was in that weird state of consciousness.
However, I did get a bunch of publishing stuff done, such as writing and sending out another email newsletter and typesetting Gunslinger to the Stars for print (Future Mrs. Vasicek helped with that as well). I also finished updating my 2019 business plan, and while I expect to keep making changes over the next few months, it’s now in a state that I can share with other people (like my Mom) and say “no, I don’t just sit around all day in my pajamas eating peanut butter straight from the jar.”
It may take a while before this blog gets regularly updated again. Tomorrow, Future Mrs. Vasicek and I are working on the house, so I can’t promise an update. I also really need to get back on track with my writing, which has fallen off a bit in the last few days. Also lots of wedding stuff going on… so much wedding stuff.
So that’s where things stand right now. Lots of stuff going on, all of it very good, but it’s definitely keeping me busy.
