Klara is at home. I’m sick as a dog, mulling around, reading Chirbes. N is working. Neither of us is much fun right now, so what does Klara do all day? She reads, cleans her room, reads some more, plays with her fluffy bunny toys, reads, plays with the cat, reads. We have TVs. Netflix, Prime. She could turn on the TV at any time. I never forbade it or said anything against it. But it doesn’t seem to occur to her.
People often think that it must be a constant struggle. “Isn’t it exhausting to try to keep her from watching TV all day?” somebody asked. But I never even thought about whether I should have a TV-watching policy for the summer.
It’s only hard to avoid smoking if you are a smoker. If you never got into the habit, it takes no effort at all. Instead of creating a problem and then trying to solve it heroically and failing every single time, it’s best not to create it to begin with.
