It's been awhile. Obviously I'm not really in the habit of daily freewrites. I'd like to be. But what would help? Always doing it the same time every day? My life does not feel routine, I don't have set routines. And just now we're getting set to go on a trip in less than a month and we still don't have anyone to care for our pets for the 10 or so days everyone will be away! Gah. Innovation. Oh the cat just got off my lap, that's why I was even still sitting here past time I should have gone to bed. I'm writing a poem a day since June 20, and I plan to keep it up all summer. So far, three days, so good. I really want to keep it up. But it's literally keeping me up. I should start it earlier in the day, and I should start these freewrites earlier in the day. Maybe tomorrow we can bring our laptops and go to a coffee shop while Lochlan is at his partial day camp. Only 2.5 hours, but long enough for us to go to a cafe and get a latte and write a poem and a freewrite, and maybe even edit a poem. I've got a bunch to edit. I need sleep. I need to get more and more plugged in. Like, I want my day to day to be more impactful. I need to call my CASA kid's caregiver, god I really need to do that. Ugh I hate that I never feel like I'm doing enough and I always could be doing more. This society is a drag. It could all be so much better. Like, a CASA shouldn't HAVE to exist, kids shouldn't be in that position.
