I could get everything done on time, if life would just back off!


Sometimes it feels like life is conspiring against me! I make all of these plans about what to do with my time and how to achieve my goals then in the blink of an eye everything changes. I tell myself that I will make my blog a weekly thing and make a post every Sunday. I assure myself that even though the day job is full time I will devote my time off to preparing my first WIP for publication. Then life comes along with its own ideas and seemingly urgent or unavoidable obligations.

Last week it was a family dinner that went into super dooper overtime, how do I turn my Pookiebear away when she wants to talk all night. I am still appalled that it took me until Thursday to get the blog post done...Sunday is the day, every Sunday! At least I got some editing and re-writing done, not as much as I wanted but some.

This week it is my birthday and my closest, oldest friend has driven to Mount Isa to spend the weekend with me. I will admit I kind of knew going into this week that getting anything other then work and seeing my friend would be hard, I didn't plan on losing most of Sunday to sleep and recovery.

It was meant to be a quiet night playing my favourite board game, scattergories turned into a boisterous evening with laughter and more then a few too many extra beverages. At one stage a debate about whether true carbonara is made with egg or cream turned into a tipsy kitchen adventure for Mr Saunders and one of our guests. Mr Saunders is confident his creamless carbonara won the night!

The Bestie will be leaving tomorrow and I go back to the day job for another week, I intend to have a quiet week working on the WIP in all of my down time, which will not be very much at all. The plans for dinner with a friend is already in place and I have an idea about having coffee on Sunday. I guess it is up to life to decide what exactly I will get done this week. The way I see it I’m already winning because this week is starting with my blog being posted on time.
