Holed up in a hotel room…

Sing it! “Conditioner stands alone, conditioner stands alone…”
I’m in Burnaby, holed up in the Best Western Plus Kings Inn. Why am I here, you’re wondering? Well, my daughter Taylor is taking a two-day St. John’s Ambulance First Aid course, and it was a toss-up as to which was least expensive—driving from Chilliwack to Burnbaby two days and hanging out at Metrotown, or holing up in a hotel for two nights and working from the room.
Guess which won?
Because I know all three of my readers are dying to know, here’s the work I’m puzzling over these two days:
Getting organized in my personal social media—For someone who advises and writes social media content for businesses, I’m very unsocial in my personal life. So I’ve created a simple schedule for this blog (I’m thinking Tuesdays—so far, 100% successful!) as well as my social media channels.
Setting goals for my business—I created and manage http://www.freshbedandbreakfast.com, as well as http://www.iaaoblog.com (which links to its home at http://www.amusementoperators.org, part of the FEC Network Inc., one of my clients.) Part of my two days is devising a strategic growth plan for both entities.
Petting the monkey—No this isn’t a euphemism for THAT, it’s a shameful, attention-getting subhead that rhymes with the last two. I need to balance a full, consistent work schedule with spiritual and physical health. It’s called petting The Monkey’s Paw, without having to own it (click to find out what the H I mean by that reference.)
Tell me what you’re working on today, OR ask me why we need so much shampoo…go ahead, just leave a comment. Thanks.



my ‘work’ today involves dissociating (though this doesn’t seem to be a real word it should be) myself further from society. cancelling credit cards, memberships, w.h.y. and wishing rubina lazeez restaurant still existed. later i’ll do my 365 and chastise myself for being so lazy and uncreative.
My dictionary widget says yes, dissociating is correct. So is disassociation—as in this video: http://youtu.be/pRisDso99s0. And yearning for good food gone away is noble work, in my opinion. Now, as a friend, stop being lazy and go get creative!
that reminded me of this:
