Every day is day 1.

I’m not very good at plans that require me to do something for x number of days. I start out really enthusiastically, but start to feel pressurised and fall by the wayside really quickly.

So I’m just going to do day 1 as many times as it takes to get it right.

I did jigsaws with Smallest.

Built block towers with Tigerboy. No picture, none of the towers lasted that long.

Worked on geometry with Small, helped Big get started on a new history project.

Shopped and only got snowed on a little. It is very nice to have the car back. Trying not to think about how much it cost.

This afternoon I did some work, and made pizza from scratch, dough and all. I enjoy having a role to play in the business, and do like doing some of the actual tech stuff too.

And we had a really good family meal tonight, which made for a good ending to the day.

Tonight I started Callanetics Countdown. Day 1.

  1. A good day all in all. Good luck for another great Day 1 again tomorrow :).

    1. Thanks. It wasn’t too bad, though not as good as I’d hoped.
