I was doing very well with my increased writing goal and reading after work until I ran into a pest issue that I've now been dealing with for over a week. You can check the "adventures in homeownership" tag on my Pillowfort account if you want more details. The issue – or, at least, the majority of it – should be dealt with this weekend, but the problem of being behind on reading and writing remains.
I've learned over the years that I can really only concentrate on one or two problems at a time. And when an issue like this comes up – one that seriously affects my own living space, and especially one that requires a lot of prep work – it ends up consuming 90% of my spare thoughts and free time until it's fixed.
Now that I've done a lot of that prep work – close to 90% of it, in fact! – I can go back to committing my brain power to the much more inconsequential things that are my hobbies. It's a little too late in the month to get as far ahead on my writing as I was before this issue arose, but I still should be able to exceed my word goal for the month.
