Day to Day

Hahaha. I hate June.

I didn’t touch my art journal. I lost momentum with the daily doodling journal. I did sort out a design for something I’m hoping to work on next weekend, so that’s a win.

I carried a to do list over from May because I didn’t get much done and… I only got one more thing crossed off. Granted, that one thing was a big money management thing, so I’m very happy about that.

I don’t expect July to be much better because there’s this little conference happening and all of my hours belong to all of the work. So, I’m carrying the list over again and only adding MUST DO THIS BEFORE BlogHer ’14 or DIE stuff because at least I know I’ll get all of that done.

I have to say again that I am loving my Filofaxes. They do help me stay on track, with work — and to a smaller extent with every day life things. If I had more time for every day life, I’d be happier but the Filofax can’t work magic and come up with more hours in the day for me… lol.

I’m looking forward to August… oh, wait. Kids going to college. JMP and Jenn visiting. Oh well, I’ll have a fun to do list for that month so yay!

Holy hell. What happened in May?

Looking back over the month, I can tell you pretty much nothing from any of my lists is scratched off.

Oh sure, I started strong and then we went to Miami and everything went to hell. OK not everything. But pretty much everything.

I didn’t blog every day in May. That’s the first time that’s happened in… longer than I can tell you.

I didn’t pick up my art journal at all. I had a lot of fun playing with the Some Lines a Day journal but then Miami happened and I got out of the routine of doodling in it and BAM, haven’t touched it since then.

JMP’s stocking is stagnating again. I was doing so well… shoot. I really need to pick up the pace there, so maybe they can take it home with them after they visit this summer… hahaha who am I kidding, the kid will be lucky to have it show up in his Christmas box.

Hell. There was a whole week when neither of my Filofaxes were even decorated, much less used properly. And then once I got back into them, I couldn’t actually get anything on the lists FINISHED because the world is crazy, work is crazy, life is crazy and I’d like a May do-over, please.

Except. May being over means we’re one month closer to our move south! 2 years and 2 weeks to go. Let’s just leave May and start June on that happy note.

Well… it was a good month for the small monthly to dos. I carried most of them over from March and added some and I’ve got just a couple of things left from those lists — which also includes a separate, lighter, to do list for my two PTO breaks in April. So that’s a success.

I did manage to complete the #fflovephotoaday challenge, tough during #readathon I took the photo but forgot to post it. Oops. That’s what happens when you tell yourself that you are ONLY reading all day. Heck, I didn’t even play WWF during the #readathon.

When it comes to most of the other things I wanted to focus on… hah. No. Not so much success happening there. No art journaling except for doodling in my Filofaxes. MUST schedule art journaling time in May. And, maybe consider increasing the money going into our savings accounts in hopes of preventing $$$ from flying in a half dozen other directions.

Onward to May, which will be crazy with TW’s mom back home + BlogHer Food.
