Had a rather enjoyable off day today. Did laundry. Returned a pair of shoes that I didn’t end up liking much. Watched some British Baking Show with the Ho. Did an open house for the apartment building. Cleaned.
Only thing I didn’t get was a nap, but that’s okay, because I slept in.
Oh, and I also didn’t get through the finances. But that’s okay. I can finished those tomorrow.
I was thinking today about November. Facebook showed me these memories of past years, talking about the month, and there was a lot of struggle in November. Not this year. I rocked this month. It’s true, I’m not as far along as I’d want…but I don’t have days anymore where I feel like I struggled to get my writing done. I feel like I’ve finally set my goals high enough that even if I don’t quite meet them, I still feel like I’ve done work.
Yes, Escape From Red Tower has taken far too long to write compared to where I wanted to finish it…but that feeling of frustration PALES in comparison to the fears that I would never finish that book, or that it would never be good. I’m past that now. I think. At least I am in this moment 😂
I can deal with “behind,” as long as I’m putting in the work. This week wasn’t great in that regard, the writing, but the reasons for that were very, very simple, clear, and fixable: I started a new job. I’m fully expecting next week to be much, much better.
Speaking of…I think I’m off to bed now. It’s midnight, which is past my old man bed time. I forgot to mention that I watched the Warriors play today. That was fun. Steph was back, and terrible…but back. They lost, but whatever. Give them another 10 games, and they’re going to go OFF. They’ll win 20 in a row. If they stay healthy. I’m not worried about them.
Good night, little ones. I hope you had a good November as well.
