Housework dodging
Jun. 10th, 2008 01:03 pmToday is proving to not be a good day, writing wise. Tomorrow my husband is going in for his kidney stone operation (to arrive at the hospital an hour's drive away at 7am!). So my sister is going to come and look after the children while I'm there too. Today I seem to be doing nothing but housework, and the worst thing is that I'm quite pleased to be avoiding False Colors.
Last week I breezed through adding 5 and a half thousand additional words. This week so far I've barely managed 750. I hope this is due to anxiety about the operation, and also to anxiety about the state of my house! (I have a visitor coming at the weekend, so it really needs to be done.) But it does go to prove that, in certain circumstances, housework is more fun than writing.
Right, off to tidy and hoover the living room, clean all three toilets, hoover and mop upstairs. We have the worst carpets in the world, because you can scrub and scrub at them with the hoover and nothing comes off. I swear they suck back.
