Sitting here feeling rubbish (stupid cold) and an old memory surfaced. I can’t 100% recall the year, I think it was 2013 but it might have been 2012. I visited Grandma and I was talking about NaNo. I think I was having trouble deciding on a project, or it was part-through the month and not going as well as I’d like – either way I was groaning a little bit how writers do heh.

Grandma responded with “didn’t you do that before?”

“Yes, a few times”

“Then why are you doing it again? You’ve done it.”

I was a bit too flabbergasted at the time to come up with a reasonable response but in the face of today’s disappointment I think I have one – a translation for the rest of the world.

Picture this it’s some big sporting event, football final or something which happens every year. You clear your schedule/take time off work to watch the games. The day they start you get sick, you can’t watch them live. Oh you can watch them later but it’ll be more difficult because you’ve used your work-free days to be sick in bed. You watched them last year? One game is the same as any other? I don’t think any sporting enthusiast would agree, different teams, different match-ups = different results.

Anyway ignore me I just felt like sharing that.

#ignore me#it is only day two after all it just feels like forever when you are in the middle of it#just feeling a little bitter and annoyed today#sorry for whining#this time next week I hope I’ll be groaning in embarrassment at this and everything will be fine
