The old saying, pride goeth before a fall seems relevant at the moment. I did not post last Wednesday, the first check-in I have missed since I started this Round. Why did I miss it? The major reason was last week was off the rails. Everyone at work suddenly realized I was going to be gone May 1st, and panicked. I had back-to-back meetings last Wednesday from 9am through 4:30pm, with a 20-minute break. Someone actually asked to meet with me in that 20-minute stretch, but I took joy in telling them I planned to eat lunch and I was not going to meet during my lunch. Even so, I was completely exhausted, and couldn’t even muster the strength to put a comment on FB. I fell short of the Work toward more consistency in my check-ins goal.
However, I did post T-Y in the A-Z blogging challenge this week. I looked at my draft for Z, and decided that I needed to find a different subject for Z. I wrote the post yesterday, and it is scheduled to go up tomorrow. Therefore, I did meet the goal: Post the A-Z blog challenge posts.
Despite the ridiculous work week, and a day spent in medical appointments, I continued transcribing handwritten notes into the sabbatical project, meeting the Write or edit for at least two hours five days a week goal.
As for the goal, Plan the move into the sabbatical space, for at least an hour a day for the next ten days, I finished that packing last week, and got most of the packing for the permanent move done as well. I am going to my office today to finish up what is not going to the sabbatical space.
Finally, I will be able to increase my writing goal on May 1 to Write or edit for at least five hours five days a week.
Have a lovely week, everyone. Please visit the other RoWers here or in the FB group.
Meetings and being exhausted from them seems to be a good reason to miss a check-in. Looks like you’re doing good with the rest of it.
Thanks, Fallon. I have to admit, I’m proud of how much I got done–it helped that it was an escape from all the crazy!
Oh, my… I wish I had known quite how crazy it was. I wouldn’t have bothered you so much about getting together for writing.
I hope you are savoring your sabbatical already. May words, and peace, fill your thoughts.
No apology necessary, Eden. Writing was the only calm spot I could find.
I am loving the sabbatical. The borrowed office is hidden and quiet–absolutely perfect. I have gotten more done today than in the past two weeks.
