It was the weekend. Actually, it was the last weekend of Games of Thrones on Writing.com. Time for that MAD push to get to the end. All hands on deck! It’s like being in college and cramming for that mid-term that’s due at midnight and it’s 8:00 p.m. I had all good intentions of hanging in there for the final push. I stocked up on my fufu coffee. Re-plenished my stickie notes and pens. I even got a bone for the dog to chew so he would leave me alone.

Then my husband said, “Let’s go hang out at beach on Saturday.” The beach. My ULTIMATE happy spot. We usually go to Ventura harbor, walk around, eat at the local seafood place called Andreia’s, and then visit the outlet malls. It’s a nice, easy-going relaxing day. Believe me, the temptation was high.

“But I gotta’ outwit, outlast, and outplay the Game of Thrones, Honey.”

“Huh? That show ended in 2019.”

He would never understand, trust me.

It was a big decision. Go on a one day vacation and miss out on several hours worth of production, or stay in the house and type my fingers to death, and miss out on Andreia’s fresh seafood.

Time to write myself out of the story, folks. I’m off to Ventura for a great seafood lunch and retail therapy at the outlet malls. See you on Sunday!
