94. Oops

Posted on August 5, 2021 by KJ Eastwick

I started out the day with great intentions. An arm workout was on the agenda, and I felt great. I was all set to jump up and go and realised it was pounding down with rain. In Australia, where I lived, we don’t have double glazed windows; some houses don’t have insulated roofs. Thus I am still getting used to how quiet it is inside when it is pelting down rain. Then the thunder and lightning started. I decided I would hold off on the exercise.

Eventually, it stopped raining. Unfortunately, by that stage, I was working on editing the beginning of a “novel with potential” (as I call the excellent ideas I write about). I thought that I would just finish a bit more editing. Which meant that by the time I was done, it was raining hard again. Then I latched onto the bright idea of a core YouTube program; however, the TV was in use. I headed back to writing. By the time I realised it was dinner time, I had written and edited a whole lot of words but not exercised. Oops. This is precisely what I do. I get so involved in what I am doing that I forget about what I planned. And another day passes where I failed to exercise. It is just a pity that it was so close to my last rest days. On the other hand, I had an excellent editing session followed by a great writing session 😊
