John Prine’s lovely little line is coursing through my head this Monday as I spent all day away from home. I woke up at 5:30 p.m., left the house at 7 p.m. and returned home at 9 p.m. In between, there was eight hours of work, just under two hours of dinner out and wait time until the 4-H meeting, which I attended for a half hour before running out to my regular Monday night board meeting that I cover for the newspaper.
So, it was a long Monday and there was no work on my novel, but writing was done. Writing is always done. Well, it’s time to move on and grade a few papers.
