Visiting the grandparents

Daily Goal: 500 words.
I wrote 0 words.
Sundays/Stories Finished: 5/0.

Today proved dreadfully, dreadfully busy again. A sign of the month to come, I hope not. Commuting from home to where my parents are staying in Denmark takes almost an hour. I'll be doing that trek, there and back again, with a baby in tow, and readying the baby carriage, packing essentials, getting the baby prepped (she hates getting dressed in outdoor wear), quite a few times each week.

Taking care of a baby all day is exhausting. Taking care of her on a lets-go-visit-your-grandparents day is murder.

I did do some writing today. I wrote a draft of a job application letter. I'll give it some thought and a fresh editing eye, when I have the time, and then I'll start sending it out.

I wonder what a steady job will do to my writing. It is hard to imagine it'll help, while any kind of handicap will bring my writing crawl to a halt. If that be the case, so be it. Writing is a luxury if it doesn't pay the bills. It'll have to wait until all the bills are paid.
