Emotion of the day number 8, with thanks to Be Manzini
… Another missed day and the temptation to leave it completely was palpable today. The reverse of habit forming. To be ruminating, one of those tiring thinking type of days.

… How the mighty have fallen… I missed my first day yesterday. It was a busy one with too many opposing forces and a big deadline. Which I did hit but with a late night..

… Summarising a fairly winning feeling for the day so far, productive, sociable, bought amazing books for research in Oxfam, didn’t get unduly stressed about an application and picked tiny red leaves with my son. For someone who ruminates on what a work day should entail, what makes for legitimate labour and so on it is relieving to feel less preoccupied about this today.

… Sometimes it’s hard to define a single one and this required consideration but feels like a good summary for a fairly productive if ordinary type of tier 3 wet winter day.

… With thanks to Annabel for a clarifying discussion on this one – that they’re definitely allowed to be made up. Could also be sludgery, sludgerous. Mental drudgery in that my ruminating is particularly uninspired and toilsome today.

… Let’s see how long I manage this. As part of Write On Be asked us to choose one emotion to sum up how we were feeling at the beginning and end of each workshop. This popped into my head this morning when I was swimming for only the second time since Covid-19 broke out. Aside from the pure joy of being in the water again I was thinking about the day ahead where I’m taking part in This Way Up 2020 giving me contact with dear colleagues and peers. Also the podcast on hope I heard last night, to be a post in it’s own right soon.
