Progress is worthless.
Feb. 8th, 2023 08:29 am It's bothering me so much that I've currently have been slapped with a down to the wire project by my mother. Outside my comfort area, but probably doable.
I make clear tangible progress on her project, and she still has the gall to call me lazy.
It hasn't even been a month since I finished her previous request.
It just sucks that it's difficult to find value in work I make for myself, because they'll see it as worthless if it doesn't appeal to my parent's sensibilities. Only to actually spend time on stuff at their request and still told it doesn't really matter until it's tangible.
It's made slightly worse that I expected yesterday to be one those rare "me days" where I have enough time alone to work on a personal project. I started on preparing, heard someone at the door, checked on it assuming it just the mailman, only for it be my mother. My "me day" was then stuck in a weird limbo where I didn't want to progress on her project and just tried to avoid her.
