Well, it finally happened—I totally lost track of what day
it is! I have been a day off all week, so spent all day today (Thursday)
thinking it was Wednesday. And that’s why this post is late!
Not that there is much to report. I have spent the last week
helping my daughter do schoolwork and helping my mother learn how to Zoom with
her students. I’ve had my own technical difficulties with a work email that
refuses to accept the password tech support has given me, even though they say
it works fine when they try it. Thankfully I can still access it on my phone,
so I am not completely cut off.
I did get a little bit of writing done last night. As I lay
cuddled in bed with my daughter, I suddenly had an idea for revising a scene in
my story. So as soon as I got downstairs, I jotted it down so I wouldn’t
forget. Only a few paragraphs, but it’s something.
I attended a Writers Coffeehouse on Sunday, which is always
fun and enlightening. How can hanging out and chatting with other writers not
be fun, right? I also attended a virtual Board of Ed meeting, where I kept
dropping off the call. I wonder if they’re trying to tell me something, LOL?
I am trying to teach my daughter how to cook some simple
meals for herself. She has burned herself twice and is scared of the oven, but
we soldier on. Apparently 7 weeks is all I can take of spending hours in the
kitchen cooking every meal for her. She’s going to get some independence
whether she likes it or not, because Mommy is tired!
Other than that, we are plugging along, going out for our
walks. My daughter got a new scooter, so she scoots with me while I walk. We
are healthy, as is our extended family, and we hope to remain that way.
I hope all of you are staying safe, taking care, and doing
well.
