Hey Folks,
Well, May is more than half-gone. I almost added “already,” but around here that isn’t really the case. The month thus far has seemed to drag by.
I was dawdling much of the morning. Still not happy with my office, so I adjusted the furniture again and ended up putting it all back.
What I need is a desk that’s around 4 feet wide and around 2 feet deep. (My old one was 5 feet wide and 3 feet deep.)
I’m very happy with my writing table. But the table I’ve been using for a desk is an odd shape. It’s fat in a deep-but-not-wide kind of way, so it’s awkward in my office.
But it’ll all work out.
Started the water on the yard and started a load of laundry. Richard came back with the glued door and we hung that.
Now the rest of the day is mine, minus time out to work on the laundry and other stuff now and then.
Today, and Writing
Rolled out a little after 4. Just didn’t want to get up. For me, that’s weird and kind of a bad start to the day. We’ll see what I can do to smooth out the rest of it.
Did all of the stuff above up until around 9, then played on Facebook awhile to catch up.
9:30, to the novel, wrote off and on. I wrote, I folded clothes, put them away. Put in another load.
Wrote, filled the hummingbird feeders.
Wrote, put the clothes in the dryer. Set up bags and water for a gallon of sun tea. Moved the water in the yard.
Wrote, folded clothes, put them away. Developed a headache along the way somewhere. Now it’s 1:20 and I just moved to the outside desk with a cigar and the novel.
Not a good day of writing, but not bad.
Back tomorrow.
