Twisted ticket

My first day home in five days proved to be unexpectedly hectic. My first line of business was to make process in my book editing project that's due shortly. I was hoping to spend most of the day on that duty, but I was informed (late last night, of course) of a two-hour meeting this afternoon that I was required to attend. So much for planning ahead.

I woke up bright and early, just as the sun was making its way above the horizon. From that point on, even before most of the people in the neighborhood had stirred from their cozy nest-like beds, the day just evaporated. The result: I now feel much like these plants, all twisted and wilted.
