drowning in work

One thing after another.  And then something else comes up, and then again.  The day is done, but not the work.  What happened?

It has been like that for a few days now.

Too busy to think about sailing or even packing for the trip.  Much thanks to "Gizmo" who reminded me I had not even thought about books for the coming walkabout less than four weeks away.  He suggested "We, The Drowned" by Carsten Jensen.

I have food - breakfast bars, cups of fruit, tuna lunches and cous cous to go with fresh caught fish for dinner.  I have batteries - double a's for most devices and triple a's for others.  I have notebooks to fill, gallon jugs of water to empty.  But I have no books to read.

"We, The Drowned" might well be a possibility, save for the fact that it is a new book and not available at those surprisingly low used-book rates that fit my budget so well.  But we will see, once I catch my breath and confirm that I am not really drowning in work.

Thanks for the tip, Gizmo.
