Busy bee.

This week has been the craziest week of work since I went freelance. Which is good, because I need the dough. Don't you want to make more money? Sure, we all do!

So I've been a busy little bee this week, barely able to compose this blog. Why, this week alone, I:

• Proofread War and Peace -- not the Tolstoy one; this was written by Herb J. Zietlinker and is much longer.
• Fact-checked Funk & Wagnall's New World Encyclopedia -- "Gk through Gz" was particularly troublesome.
• Felt a little muscular so cut down a couple of sequoias and built a community outhouse in the park.
• Copyedited the new Molly Yeh cookbook, 1,750 Recipes that Prove I Am Not Just a Web Influencer But Really Can Cook (Honest!).

I think I may actually be busier than many bees. Here are some for comparison purposes. 

Notice that these honeybees just sit there motionless on your screen. Also, they're so lazy that they're in black-and-white. I'm starting to think bees' industry is overrated. 

Anyway, all of the things I was doing interfered with the things I wanted to be doing, such as writing novels, commenting on the Great Lileks's site, promoting Fredcoin (the only cryptocurrency with Yippee! Yappee! and Yahooey!), or taking a shower. You know, it's those little things that make life more enjoyable. Next week should be less onerous.
