Mental Meanderings—A Look-Back at Yesterday (Saturday–022523)

Family and I spent most of yesterday afternoon working at the restaurant installing metal siding over the deteriorating cedar boards. It looks much better and will shed water much better than the old.

The heavy steel firewood racks were a chore to move out of the way. But, with chain and Jeremy’s truck, we did it.

Yesterday, I also pondered a decision to focus these mental meanderings to my daily novel writing, including screenshots with thoughts I had the prior day while drafting my current work-in-progress. My hope would be to encourage others to commit to the daily slog of eating an elephant one bite at a time.
