I have just checked into a hotel near my house so that I can get some writing done for the dissertation. I have my books with me, and I intend to spread them out on th table (which I have moved so it's near th window). I have about 1/3 bottle of Chardonnay. I have cheese and crackers. I have a strawberry-rhubarb pie. The only thing I'm missing is something for making tea. I suppose the wine will have to get me through. Or maybe I can get some at the bar.
And upon check-in, I discovered that there is no wi-fi in my room. And no cell coverage, so I can't even use my i-Pad through 3G. The horror! In truth, we all know this is a good thing. No futzing around on the Internet for me.
At this moment, I'm in the lobby because I have to look up a few things before digging into the writing. Then, it's back to my room (which has a view of the water).
I'm both excited and freaked out by this uninterrupted work time stretched out in front of me like a . . .
(Choose your own ending for the simile. I can think of happy ones and scary ones.)

Oo, what a lovely place to work! I wish you the most productive dissertating. Strawberry-rhubarb pie makes everything approachable, eh? :)
Oh Oh Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh Oh Oh Ohhh.

You're the reason why I sing this song.

Writing bliss (although I would need tea or coffee)No wifi is, I agree, a blessing in disguise. Enjoy!
I'm getting a little twitchy just thinking about it, but.....
When I finally do unplug, I generally have to ramp up to really get going. Once I do - I can crank out some decent creativity.
And Unicorn? That video is both totally wrong and oh, so right (write? ;)).
Good luck, Cousin!
I just wrote a long comment with responses to everyone, but Blogger ate it! I'll do it again later, but right now, it's back to work!
Oh Oh Oh-Oh-Oh!
That's great! I'm sending productivity fairy dust your way!
Thinking about you and hoping it's going REALLY REALLY WELL.
That's fabulous!
Although, "the only thing missing" might be a personal chef, but I'm food obsessed.
I hope it goes well! (How long do you get to stay there?)
Happy mother's day!
Happy Mother's Day!
