I’m having one of those days where I have a million things to do, and they’re all really quick little things, but there are so many of them that it’s hard to find a place to start.
It’s weird. Most of the time I have to deal with several overwhelming issues to deal with: money, housing, food, that sorta stuff. But sometimes the big things are dealt with temporarily, and all the little things that hover at the periphery dart in to fill up the space. And the more big things are temporarily dealt with, the exponentially more little things rise.
For example, today I took my bike for a tune-up for the first time this year. Normally something I get done in the spring, but this year… mid-summer. Because why not? And then that led to the realization that for dinner I’m BBQing a massive hunk of meat, which means I have to get it prepped early so that it will cook by the time for dinner. And that led the the thought that I don’t have sides for dinner which means I have to prep veggies, which led me to think about my characters in my most recent novel currently being in a coffee shop, and so on, and so forth.
Just lots and lots of little things are trying to crowd their way into my head.
But that’s okay! I’m going to write the first draft for my next major assignment due next week, and then spend some time writing the novel, and then switch gears to making dinner, and then… we’ll see how much time I have left after that and go from there!
Hope everyone other there is staying safe and healthy!
