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.
