No nap, no blog
We’ve had a rough couple days in our house. Thursday Drake was sick. He seemed better Friday, but didn’t nap. I should’ve been tipped off that he didn’t have a standard virus. Alas, it took another day and a very rough night to convince me of that a trip to Urgent Care was in order. Both Drake’s ears were infected, and he was just starting with pinkeye. So we’ve procured drugs aplenty and he should be better soon.
But no nap on Friday meant no blog, and I’m reminded of my dad’s favorite phrase, “all of life is a compromise.” I’ve been steadily editing my novel, a chapter per day during the week. The good news is that I’m making progress. There’s a cost, of course, though. I haven’t read other blogs in over a week. I get easily frustrated when I’m not able to do everything that I want to, or that I imagine I should do. I have to keep reminding myself to take a long view. Just because I can’t get something done today doesn’t mean I won’t get it done.
