I meant to answer sooner, but the afternoon slipped away faster than I expected.
I did end up trying that recipe, and it turned out better the second time once I stopped fussing with it. The first round was uneven, but I think the real problem was that I kept checking on it instead of letting it settle. Next time I am keeping it simple and trusting the process a little more.
I also took your suggestion about making a short list before starting the weekend. That helped me feel less scattered, and I actually made time for a walk before the weather changed. It was quiet out, which was nice. I am still reorganizing the spare room, though, and that project somehow keeps multiplying. If you are around later this week, send me the name of that podcast again because I forgot to write it down and I want to queue it up for Friday.

I finally had a quieter morning, so I caught up on a few things I had been ignoring all week.
I sorted through that stack on the desk, answered the messages I had been putting off, and even watered the plants before they started looking dramatic again. It felt good to move slowly for once instead of rushing from one thing to the next. I think I am going to keep tomorrow just as simple if I can manage it. You asked whether I ever finished that book, and the answer is almost. I only have a few chapters left, but I keep pausing to look up little references because now I want to understand all the side details. It is sending me down a dozen tiny rabbit holes, which is honestly part of the fun. Let me know how your week is going when you get a minute, because I feel like we have not properly caught up lately. |
