DAY X: Nuthin’

The intent for today, a holiday from work, was to wake up early, spend twenty minutes on a “freewriting” exercise to get my fingers and brain warmed up, and then to immerse myself into my NaNoWriMo project.

That didn’t happen. Instead I wasted the entire day. Most of it I squandered looking at random stuff on the internet.

I’m quite discouraged. About almost everything.

DAY FOURTEEN: Two Weeks and Nothing to Show For It

I’m two weeks into this daily blogging about “doing stuff” and have pretty much nothing to show for it. Of course, that was kind of the point of this blog: to illustrate how, despite my efforts, I never get anything done or make any changes.

We got word at work today that the schools will be closed on Friday in advance of an approaching tropical storm. As an illustration of the environment at work: I did not hear a single staff member expressing concerns about the approaching storm, but there was widespread delight at the announcement of the school closures. People would rather face a potentially destructive hurricane than come to work. So it’s not just me.

I’m looking forward to the three-day weekend myself.
