Days Off

 Yeah, so it has been one of those years - not much in the way of posting for a while. But I am determined to get back into it. After all, this blog is one of my life goals - to tell my story and have it there for others to read in future (when I say others, I mean my kids when they are older).

So at the moment it is Saturday. Yesterday was a public holiday (GF Friday), marking the first of two short weeks for me. This four day work-week is to be followed by an even better two day work-week next week, when I am taking three days annual leave in order to spend time with my family, rest, and take care of some projects.

Projects. OMFG. Do I have some or what. But I have made some inroads recently, and think mostly positive thoughts about them. Project-work seems to go like this for me: tick one off, add another ten to the list. I don't know why that is the case, but it seems to be that way.

Anyway, what this post is about is deciding what I want to do with the eight days I have available to me (with two work days in-between) in these two shortened weeks. I am thinking I'll try to get 16 things done - two per day - which should not be too onerous. This is what I'm thinking:

The yellow ones are things I have already managed to do, so we're off to a good start. Today I might even go for a walk, as it's nice and sunny, pick a book to start reading, and do some Lego with the kids. Wish me luck!

Footnote: So where did I end up? Well, after my eight days off, I hadn't done anything with the kids' passports, I hadn't listed any Lego and I had not managed a second walk (rainy weather). So all in all, not too bad.
