Today did not go exactly as I planned.
Admittedly, it wasn’t much of a plan, and the one thing I had actually scheduled to do — taking my car in for its yearly inspection — that much I did. But I thought I’d spend the rest of the day writing, or at least guilt-tripping myself into trying to write, while instead I spent almost all of the afternoon trying to get the house wireless router to work.
Trying and failing, I should say. Ultimately, my father and I went and bought a new one. (Well, he bought it. I offered, as I’m really the one who makes use of it and because…well, without an internet connection, do I even exist?) The new one seems to be working, which is already a step up over the old failed router.
And I actually did manage to do a little writing. I dusted off a story that had been a rejected a couple of months ago, made a few revisions, and sent it out, maybe to be rejected again, fingers crossed.
Then I watched Mama, which has a lot going for it. And weirdly, the fact that it’s not always scary isn’t exactly a bad thing. I don’t know that all the good things about it add up to a good movie, necessarily, but it definitely has its moments.
This day has, too, despite the rain and the aggravation of so many hours lost to broken technology. There’s rain in the forecast again for tomorrow, but hopefully that’s it.
