10/17 Monday’s Quiet Work and Late Night Practice

There was progress this weekend!

Not in the writing, but in the house-spouse work! While I was hoping to get some time set aside to handle up on my story-writing, I fell into the cycle of productive-procrastination. I keep telling myself to not sit down for writing until my chores are done.

Chores are never done, but it does feel good to take a decent chunk of them off the list.

For today, I’m hoping to stick to my goal of “3 chores only, 30 minutes of writing, rinse and repeat” and get further along in the Sidewinder Stories. While Han is staying home for today, she’s obligingly handling her own set of chores. She just doesn’t want Dad to clean her room, because she likes her own setup.

Unfortunately for me, I’ll be moving around a bit stiffly, since I went through my martial arts practice just before bed.

Witness the before and after images of someone in their late 30s forgetting to stretch, managing to impress themselves, then dealing with the aftermath of not thinking ahead.

Sifu is going to have a field day when we show up for training and I’m already sore. In the words of my generation: oof.

Time to whittle away at the priority list and finish the Side Arc (hopefully)!

Stay safe out there, readers. Don’t forget or ignore your stretches.
