a daily update on what went well and what to have more of. an accountability project

Today.  

What went well?  Well I managed to get some copy done and sent out this morning before 9am.  I had started writing it so it wasn't totally starting from scratch - but I had meant to do it last night - and then fell asleep with Bub - at about 9pm ish.  So I was pleased to have sent that off.

I also managed to post several Christmas cards.  Hub had written the large part of them, but there were a few key ones that I hadn't sent yet.  I still have a few to go, and I still feel obliged to do something other than use the ones I have got.  But I may have to just send bought ones after all. 

I had a meeting today which went OK.  A lot of the work I have done is usable but constitutes something other than what we really need to get done by January.  So I have another deadline  - which is Thursday.  I am most annoyed about this as I totally want to stop working and get on with Christmas stuff, but it should be OK.  I am planning on working on that first thing tomorrow in the same way that I did the copy this morning.  That's the plan anyway.  I have about 3 bits of copy to do.  If I get it done fast then we will have time to amend it if necessary.

I did 35" of plank.  But I haven't made my steps yet.  I might have a wee look at how I am doing but I think I may be too far off the mark to make the 10,000 today. 

I have made the shapes for the pieces for J&T's board game that we are making as a family.  Tomorrow I will create the board and colour the little pieces in.  We may - or may not - make shortbread.  Tomorrow is a day of Christmas Crafting.  Oh yes.

I went along to Windmill Street Hanover Advent Calendar.  Oh my! they had carols and a huge crowd in the street singing.  They even had harmonies.  I have to admit I shed a small happy tear at the whole beauty of it.  I met A  - a neighbour from across the road and chatted with her about stuff.  I love our neighbourhood.  I truly do.  Its so wonderful to have folk out of their houses and on the streets.  

 
Haven't done my 5 min meditation minimum.  But I can do that before bed. And again on waking.  So I reckon that's all good.

We have been paid two invoices this month, and I invoiced another that ought to get paid tomorrow.  So I need to sort out the -25% tax and 10% to savings. 

This week I also intend to do a physical mail out with a flyer and dates for artjournaling sessions in the new year.  I have a course lined up for a beautiful studio in a garden in Ditchling that I am super excited about.  And a day of creating a Wild Art Journaling vision board too.  I would like to add more dates  - well.  Next year, I aim to have the years courses set up, Christmas cards made / printed. And some form of product to sell.  I want to sell paintings this year too.  But that is a whole new year aim and mission thang.  For which January is going to be key.



Bestest Y'all.
