Welcome to the Why I’m Not Writing This Week series!
If you’re not familiar with this series, just know that the only thing writers love more than writing is avoiding writing. And I am definitely no exception. Every Friday, I list five things that distracted me from my writing this week.
I encourage you to share with me your reasons for not writing every week too and I’ll share my favorites in the latest edition.
Happy Easter
It definitely didn’t feel like it around here, but this past Sunday was Easter Sunday. I wasn’t able to visit my family or go to big Easter service at church, but I did get to video chat with my family and we had a community service of our own. I also got a beautiful bulb garden from my mom for the occasion.
Fluctuating Weather
Our weather has been swinging between beautiful, sunny spring weather to raging, crazy storms to chilly frost. It’s been wreaking havoc on our budding garden and also on my allergies. The only good news is that I’m spending a ton of time inside right now, so at least I’m not inhaling too much pollen so far this year.
A Visit To The Cat Doc
We noticed our cat has been doing a lot of “coughing” without actually spitting up any hairballs lately. Things seemed to be getting worse, so we took him to the vet on Wednesday. Turns out little Gatsby has feline asthma. Who knew that was a thing? He got a steroid shot and are monitoring him for the next month.
Harry Potter
This week, while I’m working every day, I’ve been listening to a Harry Potter audiobook series. I’m still on the first book right now, but it’s been a lot of fun indulging in some easy listening with one fo my favorite series.
Dalgona Coffee
I tried this crazy coffee trend I’ve been seeing around social media. It’s advertised as being super easy to make with just a few ingredients: instant coffee, sugar, water and milk. I found it wasn’t quite as easy as all the online recipes I found said, but it still made me feel like I was having a gourmet Starbucks coffee without leaving home.
