Drive-by update
Dec. 19th, 2013 04:18 pmMy new intention of spending no time on the computer when the family is home means that updating LJ is a bit of a challenge on days when I'm not home alone for several hours. I had other stuff to work on when I did have that time to myself today, and decided that should be my priority rather than updating LJ.
Still, I do want to honour my commitment to myself to update here every day, inasmuch as possible. Several of you have commented on my last post, and I do plan on answering. I may try to do so tonight after Bean has gone to bed, though I have presents to wrap and other things to get to during that time before I end up going to bed as well.
I'm making what I hope is a good faith effort to get more done with my days. As a way of not-coping with the added stress this past fall I have been spending too much time messing around online without doing anything useful. So I've been trying to do more chores for now, and when Christmas is past and I no longer have this big project to work on (supposing I can get it done in time!), I will try to structure my days even better so as to get back into writing and other things that are important as well as chores like tidying the house and doing the dishes and what have you.
Tonight I have promised Bean a game of CandyLand when he gets home from school (well, after dinner, anyway). Hopefully that will keep us going for long enough that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pdaughter can get some work done on his last Christmas present without his getting too curious about what she's up to. I'm hoping we can get through the game pleasantly and without tantrums, but he typically seems to reserve his "good" behaviour for school and is easily frustrated by, well, just about everything. So, fingers crossed for a generally pleasant evening!
I will check back in tomorrow if I don't get back online tonight. In the meantime, everyone take care. :)
