10 days too late

This is the sort of thing I’m talking about. Everyone is out there getting rich off the web (well OK, maybe not rich precisely, but go with me, I’m feeling very down atm).

And Merry and Kris have nanoed to success – while my success lies in realising that nano was one step too far in a hectic month and quitting before I failed spectacularly. Somehow doesn’t have quite the same ring to it, does it? However, I’ve entered into a wonderful deal with Merry, and fully expect to be supplied with all my chocolate needs for quite some time very soon 😉

Right, half a day left. I’ve caught up with the washing (well, I have when I’ve hung it out to dry), Tim sorted the kitchen last night so it’s looking much better than usual. This afternoon I have a friend popping in for a cuppa and the children want to do Magic Maize Christmas decorations, while I’ve to fit in some hours to catch up from last week, and get ahead on next. I also intend to do some more business plotting, financial management and maybe list some decluttering, but top of the pile is getting to bed at a reasonable time – sleep deprivation is the one part of my state of mind that I can tackle easily and regularly.

  1. hugs jax. abcolutely know where you are coming from. had a 2 hour phone with a reiend i have known for nearly 20 years. i had no idea how unhappy i was a bout how many things.
    no idea how to sort stuff either, bu at least problems are in my concious mind,

  2. Personally i think it has a very noble ring to it.:) It’s not an easy thing to do, prioritising by need rather than want.
    Will work very hard on that chocolate promise 🙂 I’ve even given myself another ticker, just to try and force myself to finish so i can attempt to honour it.

  3. Hi there
    Have felt some of the same as you recently – slogging away, what for, shouldn’t I be able to do something more creative, etc. Don’t have any answers but I do know the feeling.
