My Life Lately in Numbers
1 potential grant opportunity identified 5 days before grant deadline
1 phone call to grant foundation
4 1/2 days of racking brain and writing
2 books purchased on grant-writing for people with poo for brains
4 frantic phone calls to fellow board members
3-hour meeting with two fellow board members
4 sweet hours of bodily contact with lovely, soft bed
21 pages of “Yay us! Love us! Fund us!”
20 copies of 21 pages of above self-promotion
2 printers running simultaneously
90-degree home office
2 cranky, neglected kitties
1 missed shower
2 missed meals
30-minute cross-island drive of panic and delirium
2 questionable accelerations through 2 very, very yellow traffic lights
15 minutes to spare
2 sets of everything in my vision
1 migraine
1 exhausted me
Wow, 15 minutes to spare — what great timing!
Congratulations on getting it in, and I hope you can now spend as many hours as you need on rest and recovery.

Aw, grant writing is NO fun… I do find that last item on your list of number, that 1 exhausted you, so endearing as an image… simply want to run over there, stroke your fancy new hairdo and say, “There, there…” (hmmm, maybe you’d be less creeped out if I offered to do that to your two cranky neglected kitties…)
YAY YOU! Hope you get the big bucks!
