Tomorrow (Thursday) is an off day. Until Friday, True Believers, Excalibur! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Too many errands, still accomplished some things. ๐Ÿ˜

Tomorrow (Saturday) is an off day. Until Sunday, True Believers, Excalibur! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Progressed a bit further. ๐Ÿ˜

Tomorrow (Thursday) is an off day. Until Friday, True Believers, Excalibur! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Bit under the weather, but still accomplished things. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Been a complex and busy day. Made it to 2 March 2018 in my emails (still working backward in time). The Grand Bibliography is currently at 1977 sources. The manuscript for this Introduction volume is 1266 pages. ๐Ÿ˜

Tomorrow (Saturday) is an off day. Until Sunday, True Believers, Excalibur! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Tiring day. ๐Ÿ˜ถ

Did make some progress. Made it back to 18 March 2018 in my emails. The Grand Bibliography contains 1963 sources. Manuscript is 1265 pages. ๐Ÿ˜€

Tomorrow (Thursday) is an off day. Until Friday, True Believers, Excalibur! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Last work day of the year. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

As I said in Wednesday’s blog post, I am taking an additional week off at the end of each year. I will return on Sunday 5 January 2020. ๐Ÿ˜€

I will keep up my daily social media, and eventually answer msgs. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Made it to 10 April 2018 in my email. The Grand Bibliography is 1882 sources. The manuscript to the Introduction volume is 1258 pages. ๐Ÿ˜

Until next year, True Believers, Excalibur! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Today was a “mediated” day.

In my universe, a “mediated” day means it is a work day that is interrupted by those who feel that I can somehow either instantly solve their problem or that I have time to explain (or re-explain) a detailed concept that had already been explained at some earlier date. A work day is a work day for me. Work is first. On my “off” days, anyone who wishes to attempt to monopolise my time has exactly one hour in which to accomplish what you set out to do (family are the only – limited – exceptions). My decompression and relaxation are in some ways more important than the work itself. If I do not have my “health”, then I cannot accomplish the “work”. ๐Ÿ˜

With that said, it will not be repeated, only acted upon. Currently made it to 22 April 2018 in my emails. The Grand Bibliography currently stands at 1862 sources. The manuscript is 1256 pages in length. ๐Ÿ˜€

Tomorrow (Tuesday) is an off day. Until Wednesday, True Believers, Excalibur! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Different kind of work day. ๐Ÿ˜ถ

Had a very late start. Then I had to coordinate 12 of the 14 authors we currently have onboard. We set up a Messenger chat group. Looks like a private group on FB will work better. We will figure it out. ๐Ÿ˜

As far as the manuscript for The Introduction volume, it is at 1252 pages. The Grand Bibliography is at 1830 sources. At 9 May 2018 in my email. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Tomorrow (Tuesday) is an off day. I will be decompressing and relaxing. Until Wednesday, True Believers, Excalibur! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

In spite of everything, things were accomplished today. ๐Ÿ˜

When it is one of my work days, do not be surprised if I do not answer the mobile. Also, do not be surprised if I do not immediately answer a text. Some days are fuller than others. Repeated phoning and/or repeated msging will only cause me to take longer to get to the calls and/or msgs. Nothing is that important that it can’t wait. If it is an emergency, perhaps I am not the one who can help. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

All of that being said, I am at 30 May 2018 in my emails (remember, I am going backward in time through them). The Grand Bibliography currently stands at 1788 sources. The manuscript for The Introduction volume is presently at 1248 pages. ๐Ÿ˜€

Tomorrow (Thursday) is an off day. I refuse to repeat myself from the past concerning how my off days are handled. ๐Ÿ˜ถ

Until Friday, True Believers, Excalibur! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Last work day of the month. ๐Ÿ˜

The new schedule is helping to assure that I do not burn out. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Presently at 6 July 2018 in my emails. Always keep in mind that I am going backward through my email messages. The number of sources in the Grand Bibliography are 1701. Total pages in the manuscript are 1240. For those who are not aware, this project is the culmination of my studies and research within the whole of Arthuriana from 1972 to the present day ๐Ÿ˜€

Tomorrow (Saturday 23 November – Doctor Who day, incidentally) through Saturday 30 November are my next off days. My schedule includes (for the second month now) a “week” off at the end of each month. The only blog posts that might occur during that period would be to inform you of new Arthurian Literature posts of mine on the Arthurian Legends blog; and to inform you of any additional authors for Afterwords and Forewords. Remember we are now at 14, only 18 left to go! Almost halfway there! ๐Ÿ˜Š

I will recommence on Sunday 1 December 2019. As always, I will keep up with my social media every day. ๐Ÿ˜›

Until then, True Believers, Excalibur! ๐Ÿ˜Ž
