adjusting expectations
i was feeling like i wasn’t getting much done today, feeling muddled and tired after being awake in the night. i can remember a time after Nico was born when getting just one thing done counted as a productive day. laundry or dishes or sweeping or a trip to the library. that was all i could do, and i needed to scale down my expectations. but today i really did get plenty done. i just needed to see it written down!
