Wake up to alarm to see sleet beating through the open window. Bedroom is freezing.
Perk of being a freelancer: roll over and go back to sleep.
Get up. Spend a while proofreading, then head down to yeshiva.
Quill I've been using for the past few months is past using any more, so cut new quill.
New quills are like new shoes - really annoying until you've broken them in. Breaking new quill in is slow work. Write a very small amount of Torah before lunch.
Lunch.
Mincha.
Hot chocolate with friend visiting from Israel.
Observe gleams of late-afternoon sun striking low on the skyscraper opposite. Deduce that it is late afternoon.
Return to yeshiva.
Teach Torah fixing skills to my guinea-pigs. That is, I'm helping them become better Torah fixers, and they're helping me become a better fixing teacher.
It is early evening.
Freelancing means you can spend your afternoon as above if you like, but it also means you have to make up the hours somewhere. Putting it off to the next day is asking for trouble; if you spent your afternoon on non-work activities, you really do have to spend your evening on work activities.
Therefore, write a lot of Torah.
Until bedtime. Oh, the glamour. Zzzzz.
