Eat dessert first

As ya’ll are probably all too well aware, I’ve been on this 100 day push for the novel. For the last two weeks, I’ve been pushing much harder, going through a chapter a day. I worked all weekend, with practically no time for myself to just sit and putz. (I need putzing and recovery time.)

Today I have the will of a rather limp noodle in terms of pushing forward and getting more work done. I’m exhausted physically, emotionally and creatively.

I suspect today being the two-year anniversary of my dad’s death has something to do with it.

I tried a quick power nap. Though I crashed hard and quick, I woke up still tired. I’m going to take a break now, go run some errands, and get some dessert.

My dad was a firm believer in eat dessert first. He practiced what he preached. Today in his honor I’m going to walk down to Molly Moon’s and get myself a sundae, and eat it before dinner. Possibly instead of dinner. Then I’m going to get back on that horse and do some more work. Because in that I am also his daughter.
