Still waiting

desperanceI had a nearly-incomprehensible message about the plumber, which might have said that he'd be coming later. I am having to wait, then, just in case.
I am ... not happy. I don't do it well, this waiting-in. I should be able to use the time productively - I mean, y'know, all my work is contained within this selfsame machine, and much of it is done at this selfsame kitchen table, so why not now? - but no. I'm writing one novel and revising another, proofing one for someone else and reading the latest by a favourite author, and I can't settle to any of these. There's quite a lot of pacing going on, and staring out of windows. I swept the kitchen floor, and cleaned the cooker again. I would go out in the garden, only I'm afraid I'd miss another incomprehensible message. The price of plumbing is eternal watchfulness, apparently.
