Time
The last week and a half have been less than productive.
Okay, that's a lie. They've been pretty much a complete waste of time. In some ways. In others, I've actually made some progress. In other words, my three goals for the next three months are going pretty well as of this weekend. I've practiced twice on "Music Box Dancer" and unless something happens pretty drastically I won't be ready to play it by April. No, make that perform it by April. Still, it's a beginning. And I'm practicing relatively regularly, too.
I volunteered to do a shawl/blanket for a lady from church - she was my Sunday school teacher when I was younger (like... oh, 35 or so years younger). I have been putting that off for MONTHS, but I promised her I'd be done by March. I'll have to do some serious working, and I have a plan of what to watch while I'm doing it. MCU to the rescue! Everything in order, as much as I can. Avoiding all the Netflicks series, because they're just a bit too dark for me. So, the movies, Agent Carter, and Agents of Shield. I found where they all fit, approximately. I won't get to see Captain Marvel in the right place, of course, and I have no idea where Spiderman: Far From Home fits in, yet, but that's okay. Hopefully I'll be done by the time Spiderman comes out. ANYWAY, that's neither here nor there, but that's what I plan to watch while working on this shawl/blanket thing.
And the third goal? Um....to write. I am currently using the prompts from "The Right to Write" by Julia Cameron, and have a list of where to go from there. I wanted to write more than I am, but at least I am writing some. it will help, I know it will, and I am glad for it. I'm just working on... pieces of writing. I have a plan to track it, and all is well. I would like to write more.
I didn't do much today, because my daughter is sick, the one that if she gets too sick she ends up in the hospital. So far, no trip to the emergency room, and I keep hoping it stays that way. She's stopped throwing up, at least, so that's something.
I can't tell if I'm lethargic or apathetic. It seems to be both. I have started morning pages, Julia Cameron's signature practice, and I hope that helps. We'll see. I'm just working on getting over this... resistance, and the fear (which I touched on today) and everything else standing in my way. I will get over it. I will.
