Mildly frustrating

I went to bed half an hour late again and overslept, also again. And, like every morning, I decided just a little bit of phone use would be okay and then I spent exactly the amount of time that I would have wanted to write on reading other people’s words. Which is nice but maybe not at that time of day.

Still practicing.

All in all I was very happy about a day off. But as often happens with days off I never quite get going. It feels like every time I want to start something someone comes along and wants something.I didn’t even manage to listen to the daily piece of classical music.

Lunch was easy, we were half-celebrating Father’s Day and since my husband still had leftovers from his lunch the day before the boy and I got frozen pizza so that he wouldn’t have to cook:

These pizzas are way bigger than our plates. Definitely enough for two meals.

I did not do the dishes after (there weren’t many either), spent some time playing Genshin Impact where I made some substantial progress and then completely failed at some other stuff, and then it was time to spend my scheduled time on figuring out my writing business project management.

But first my husband wanted my help with some tech stuff. He had a recurring glitch between the computer, TV and amp that he is using in his studio. Well, I had no idea what was happening there either but I tried niggling all the cables and restarting the TV and so far that seems to have done the trick. Fingers crossed.

Then I talked to him about my resistance towards the whole project management research task, made a decision about what method to use, tried it out, got super frustrated again, tried some more stuff, the boy showed up, and left the door to the hallway open for forever which made me all cold and then he went back and forth several times with the door open.

Now, that was supposed to have been my thinking time. Ha!

So I took all my stuff to the living room where I was interrupted twice, then realized that I actually better continue using what is half-working for now after clearing up my discomfort with setting any dates, be it release dates, writing dates or anything similar which means I need to continue with a „it will be done when it will be done“-schedule.

I mean, once I have better numbers I might start ordering covers before the book is completely done but also, I need to know the number of pages for the paperback cover, so maybe not.

I then met my friend for writing over Zoom and that gave me a satisfying number of words, at least.

I started writing this post, made a list for today, read some more, and played some more and went to bed.
