So I’ve been working on things that I’m not meant to be working on today, and that’s alright. Sometimes that’s the way things go. Right now I’m having a brief breather from those things and writing this before I go back into the thick of things, as I’m about to enter the part where I deal with the nitty-gritty, and that’s going to take a while. Hope to have the last of this particular thing done in twenty minutes. We’ll see.

After that, I get stuck into the things I am meant to be doing, which shouldn’t take too long anyway. I hope. A lot of powering through and getting on, and going forward, but let me tell you, this brief break from it all feels too good. Maybe it’s time to take the rest of the day off… I wish.

There are too many things to get out of the way, but I’m getting there. I’m getting them done, and that’s a good thing… I think. Perhaps there are other, more important things to get done, but this isn’t so bad. It could always be worse, of course. What I’m doing is still learning and refining, and it helps in some ways, and so long as it helps, I’m happy.

What does it help with? Why, learning, of course!

So I think I need to keep going shortly, but I’m hoping to have this bit of rambling done so as to relax the muscles and keep the wrists flexible, and then I’ll get back into it and so on and so forth, and you get the idea.

It has been a productive day though, and I’m happy about that. I’m happy that I’ve gotten some things done, even if they’re not the things I’m meant to be doing. Too much of my time has been spent not doing much of anything and letting fatigue rule over me, so this is nice. This is good. Learning and developing, and hopefully getting somewhere with stuff. Just need to keep on working on it and need to keep going.

Once this is done and the thing I’m working on at the moment is done, it’ll be the dance of the thousands of words. Prep for tomorrow and the week ahead. Going forward and marching onward toward destiny, and getting things published. Needs to be done today before tomorrow. If it can be done, I can rest. If not, I cannot rest. A day of work takes precedence over a day of not working, and that’s not the worst thing in the world, really. I like my job, but it means I need to be less wasteful.

I needed to be less wasteful last year too, and the year before that, and the year before that… and you get the idea.

For now, I just keep on going and my break is nearly over. Time to get back into the thick of it and keep going, and keep on learning as I work.

The time it took to write five-hundred words: 06:26:93

This is one of those things where I had to take a break, but keep going and so it shouldn’t be treated as much more than a sort of “steam release” bit of writing, if that makes sense. Not quite for cooling down; just to breathe.

Written at home.
