The past week has been frustrating in assigning priorities, but now that I’ve been ‘forced’ to stay home for a few days, I’ll be able to hold myself to my daily goals!
The week was full of myself saying that before I could sit down at the desk and write, I needed to make progress in my house project: handling the bigger cleaning chores before Sarah came back from her trip. Between that and minding the gremlins we had created, it’d be near 9 or 10 PM before I could make it to the keyboard.
Responsibilities are not fun, but it’ll be satisfying when Sarah comes home to clothes folded and put away, floors cleaned, and (if I’m lucky) the kids’ rooms not looking like tornados had come in for visits.
Another reason I’m trying so hard to make it into remote work as a cybersecurity analyst: I like house-spousing.
What else had happened during the week? Plenty!
Han discovered my learning how to bake and helped me figure out two recipes: shortbread cookies and hand pies.
Apparently, hand pies are meat pies but large enough to function as full meals. Got it from a Hobbit cookbook.
The next four days look like I’ll be staying at the house while Louisiana handles an artic blast that the residents are nowhere near prepared for, so with luck I’ll be able to sit down and write or study. Or we’ll have the power knocked out; one or the other.
Y’all stay safe in the weather.
