Two calls have pushed me right off track and the thing I was working on is not progressing. Phooey! At least I’ve got the air cond going at the optimal temperature 26°C. At 27°C, I was still sweating. Boy it is hot here.

Stop reading, start speaking
Stop translating in your head and start speaking Italian for real with the only audio course that prompt you to speak.
Only one thing to do in these moments, get out. I’ve got to get some ink for my printer, so I’ll wander off in a few moments. While I’m walking, I’ll think, in the hope that I’ll get back on track. There’s not much hope though, because then I’ll have to collect my little one from school and when he’s around, not a lot gets done. Unless you count making a real old mess as doing something, that is.
Right, off to hunt for ink.
