I had a plan!

I keep moaning on this blog about never getting many of my many projects completed. So just before Christmas I spent 10 minutes constructing a weekly timetable while at work in a bid to build some form of routine with, hopefully, the end result being able to tell you lot how brilliant I am come what December in my yearly round-up.
We are now nearly two weeks into the new year and have I been able to stick to this timetable? Like fuck I have. I haven’t even been able to stick to it for one measly day! Now before I roll out some excuses, I shall indeed roll out some very valid excuses. I knew the first week would be a write-off because I was heavily involved with helping organise a surprise party. This would involve spending days, literally, baking an array of impressive and tasty cakes. I knew that the second week would also be a write-off because I decided to make a short film of said surprise party. This is nearing completion but has taken a little bit longer than expected because I seem to have reached that age where if I haven’t used a piece of software for a good few months, when I do decide to use it and boot it up I find myself staring at it in a whimsical fashion trying to access the memory block in my brain that will suddenly cause my knowledge to come flooding back to me. Sadly this never quite happens so I end up having to re-read the guide book that I purchased from amazon. Then it comes flooding back.
So I have certainly been busy, just not doing exactly what I had initially intended. I’ve also been going out this week catching up with an old friend and becoming acquainted with someone new. So despite my complete lack of sticking to a timetable ability, I’m not too bothered and feeling pretty happy!

Next week I do intend to at least attempt to follow the timetable. Maybe for one day at least.

PS – The surprise party wasn’t quite a surprise but was really good :D
