Was overwhelmed at work. This is becoming more of an issue. Sometimes it is actually no problem and I just soldier through but other times I think my anxiety will crush me. Still it was a Friday so I had the weekend to look forward to. 

We went out for sushi in Kødbyen which was not only nice but we both needed to get out. Julia was an angel in the carrier we got from Gyða. 

August 21-23, 2018

Lots to do at work and at home. Can’t remember a lot but I tried writing at Absalon which was fantastic. I sometimes wonder how much I should say on this blog. Will anyone ever see it maybe I should change it to private. It can be so liberating when I’m completely truthful.

I worked from home which was difficult with all the visitors but they were wonderful company. Jana and Maggí left at around noon.

We had a doctor’s appointment at Hvidovre and a misunderstanding with the LetsGo car got me a bit stressed for time. But we were not late and the results of Julia’s hearing test was all good. Back home Julia pooped all over her dad and then tried her play blanket. We got pizza for dinner and watched Star Trek. I’m my diet is just plain bad. Which is not good because of the high cholesterol.

All five of us went to a flea market were Gugga and Raggi had a booth. It was very difficult to push the wagon without waking Julia but I managed. Guðrún and I got some lunch at Kafe Dyrehaven. The food there is always good but man is the service bad. Jana and Maggí joined us and we stopped at Abasolon on the way home. They all stayed there while I went home to write and I got a lot done which was great.

In the evening I read the first 2 chapters of Way of Kings. It’s so long!

Saturday and Marta and Peter came for visit with the twins. They stayed for almost 3 hours which was so nice. 

It was Pride weekend so Guðrún wanted to see the parade but we couldn’t as Julia is so small. Instead we went out for a walk. That evening Jana and Maggí came back from Holsterbro.

Back to the office and work went well. At home, I relaxed in bed with the family. I 

read about a friend on Facebook that is publishing a book, felt happy for him but sad for myself. Another year and no book. It’s been 5 years since I published my novel. Every year writing seems like an unattainable pipe dream. I tried to make myself feel better and put out posts about my steampunk short story that was published in connection with a con here in Denmark but still feels like I need to do more. Am I a fan or am I a writer?

Julia was crying a little at around nine like in the past evenings but this time it was much better.

Work from home but start the day early I sat down at the desk at 7 am with Julia by my side so Guðrún could sleep in. Damn some mornings I miss writing full time a lot. 

I picked Mom and Dad at just before 11 pm and drove them to the airport. I had booked the car for an hour and a half but still it was too short so there was no time for coffee which was a shame. 

When I got back home we had leftover Thai for lunch. I worked until five and had a nap. 

Took out the laundry in the evening and tried to do some writing but this nice American lady just wouldn’t stop talking. Not how I wanted to spend my time. 

We were all in bed by 10 but Julia woke at 11 and I took her into the living room she finally wore down my patience so Guðrún had to take over and put sleep.
