My lesson from today
I want to remember this, because it's important. I wish I'd learned this as a child.
Get something accomplished every day.
Two days ago I got a lot done. I went to bed feeling good.
Yesterday I got basically NOTHING done. I spent the evening feeling sour and depressed, and felt pretty lousy the next day (today).
Today I got a couple of small things done: I made refrigerator cake (Sebastian's never had it, so I had him help me), and made cranberry-orange relish for Thanksgiving tomorrow. And I feel pretty good.
I let Sebastian eat one of the wafers with whipped cream, knowing that he'll be surprised as hell tomorrow night when he has the refrigerator cake; I remember myself how shocked I was at how soft and delicious the chocolate wafers became after sitting in the whipped cream overnight!
We whipped the cream ourselves, incidentally, using heavy cream we bought from Wright's Dairy. It was delicious.
As for the cranberry-orange relish, it took me less than twenty minutes to make. I feel good about that. It's nothing permanent, but at least I got it done.
I also started putting books on the new bookcase. It looks great, and it's incredibly stable.
But I really need to remember - and to teach Sebastian - to get something meaningful accomplished every day.
