You know you have those weeks where every time you feel you might just possibly be catching up with where you should be, a whole new lot of tasks drop on you and you’re back where you started? That’s me that is.
Hospital appointment, writing, paid work, attempting to de-dustmite the bedroom, general household chores, a to do list that grows longer every time I look at it, various school events, people needing to speak to me RIGHT NOW, separating bickering children, and trying to keep up with exercise, the monthly scavenger hunt and my sanity in the midst of it all.
The first couple of days it was quite energising and motivating to have to fit everything in, but I think I’ve burned out somewhat now, thanks all the same.
You very almost got a “Reasons for not blogging no 576: the dog ate my homework” post, and I don’t even OWN a dog. That’s how busy I’ve been.
And I still haven’t written my 500 words of fiction for the day yet.

Aw yeah those times always feel great when they start but then… the energy just goes. Don’t worry about your 500 words. As long as you’re thinking about the book then that’s more than enough on a busy day :)

I managed 340 words in the end, but now I am completely worded out! Time for chocolate, a glass of wine and some chill out time, methinks!
