The Foreign Embassy

My day, as of late:

6:30-8:00 - Wake up, stagger to the bathroom, put in contacts, make lunch, drive to work

8:00-9:00 - Ride bike on Venice Beach, work out at Gold's Gym, shower

9:00-1:00 - Work

1:00-1:30 - Spend first half-hour of lunch hour eating

1:30-2:00 - Spend second half-hour of lunch hour writing

2:00-7:00 - Work

7:00-8:00 - Drive home

8:00-9:00 - Cook dinner, eat dinner

9:00-10:00 - Write

10:00-11:30 - Quality time with the wife and the television

11:30 - Sleep

I really like the day job, but, man, a guy can get worn out trying to squeeze in a budding writing career around a twelve-hour work day. Lately, I'm looking forward to the weekends more and more; not because I don't have to work, but because I'm able to write for more than an hour at a stretch.

Bah. Enough whining. Rest is for the weak.
