I had to do a lot of stuff over the weekend, instead I made different choices...I might
regret that in the coming days...
But, I had a new little thing to obsess over :) and because it is too late to turn back the
clock by now, I figured I can just give up 100% on "responsibilities". Apply the sunken
procrastination fallacy, and just let it all go.
"How about I spend maybe 30 mins or so catch up in a bit in my almost-out-of-control reading
list", I thought, "to close the weekend with a bang".
I was even considering opening the instructions to install FreshRSS in the VPS, as I want to
move away from browser bookmarks and into the shiny world of RSS.[1]
Instead, I am dealing with a kid that ate too much candy, making a digestive tea, and I feel like my only consolation - if you can call it that - is to vent about it here.
In a way, it feels like karma. Because I made "bad" choices during the last two days, I don't
get to do this particular thing now.
If I think a little more about it, I realize that makes no sense.
And yet...so many little moments of parenting feel exactly like that. You put off something, decide to focus on an interest, give up some sleep for enjoyment. And the decision comes back to haunt you. Pretty soon, usually.
I will be honest, it happened way more often when the kiddo was younger. But the dejavu I had
just now...
Time to go ðŸ«
