That’s a great way to start the week off feeling tired, drained, and under rested. It was a poor life choice, but I did get out and swim, walk the dog around the farm, do some paid work, and take my older daughter to the driving range yesterday. I did sit down to read at one point but had to stop just as it was getting really interesting, so picking up where I left off was top of mind all last evening. I had meant to just finish the chapter I was on, but ultimately I got carried away and read for a few extra hours beyond my bedtime. Rookie mistake. Poor choice for a Sunday night. You can get away with that on a Thursday through Saturday, but to be so early in the week and all ready tired is dumb. I regret it immensely.
So here we are back to Monday. I completed maybe just less than half of my report. Enough to feel like I got something done, but not enough to breeze through today, that’s for certain. Good news is no wood splitting until Wednesday (weather permitting). I can split in a drizzle, but not a down pour or electrical storm. So I will have to take a wait and see approach to my exercise plans, above & beyond the indoor rock climbing.
Luckily we did all of our laundry on Sunday afternoon, so I can finish my breakfast and drop full force into my latest report. It’s a little different from other ones we’ve done, so it’s taking a little longer to pull itself together, but I’ll get there. Slowly but surely it will start to coalesce into a cohesive document.
In other news I have confirmation that my passport documents made it to their destination late last week. I am hoping that five/six weeks lead time is enough for it to get produced without going over the expiry date. I’m under the gun if we want to do anything in late October this year.
Downloads of the book are leveling off, which is fine. I have no grand vision of being a late in life best selling author. The fact that more than one hundred and twenty plus people have downloaded both the first or second book is pretty awesome in my esteem. I hope they enjoyed parts, if not the entire thing. It was a labour of love over a few hard Covid years getting it all out together.
The kids are getting their 2025 Markham Fair entries out together. Those have to go in on Saturday or next Tuesday. The photos should be made ready in the next twenty four hours. I need to complete my painting project, otherwise all I will have this year are my photography pieces. I’d like to get my Ninja Turtle sculpt into the mix if I could.
I need to get working if I want the time to paint this week. Best of luck to you all.
