Goals Revisited - Since It's Almost August.

Goal 1. I was going to edit all my files. Well. Nope. Hadn't happened. Still sitting in large bins cluttering up the study. In fact, I have to climb over them in order to close the blinds. You'd think that would be incentive to change. And it was for the first week. Now I'm just used to climbing over them...I'm counting that as cardio. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow.

Goal 2. Knitting. Well I was going to finish my knitting projects. Right. I was on a roll here; I really was. I finished the shawl I've been working on (on and off) for about oh - six years. Right, I know, you don't need to say anything about it. But I've been busy. Anyway - I'd finished it. I'd done the edging and weaved in all the ends. It was sassy, if a wee bit short. But, it was DONE. And then, in a fit of excitement to begin the NEXT project, I went through my yarn bin. Right. You've already guessed it, I'm sure. I FOUND THE LAST SKEIN. Right. One more skein. Remember I mentioned the shawl felt a wee bit short? Well, I didn't spend five-six years for 'a wee bit short'. So, I unraveled the edging and began with the last darn skein. I'm almost done. Seriously. I am.

Goal 3. 30,000 words. Ah. Here's the rub. Dashed on the rocky shoals of unemployment and the necessity for resume writing? It's a GREAT excuse. And I have been distracted - CONSIDERABLY so. But, in reality, I could manage one hour a day. I was all set for day 4. Perhaps I'll do that as a break from working through files tomorrow.

Sounds like a plan!
