Hurdles

So another week passed, and nothing accomplished. Although I had an excuse this week. On Monday I came down with a cold as I mentioned, and it completely drained my will to do anything slightly constructive.

Which was unfortunate as I had vowed to myself that I was going to have a productive week. Full of cleaning and organizing all my junk which takes up an entire room. I've been really meaning to cut down on my material posessions, which is difficult for me as I love to collect stuff.

I was also planning on becoming more active, and hopefully losing some weight. It kind of crept up on me, but I've noticed lately and the scale has confirmed that I'm getting a little chubby especially in the tummy region. I know I'm not a young pup anymore, and I know I need to start worrying about my health more. I've never really had any major health concerns, and I take it for granted that it will always remain that way. A bad idea I guess.

Anyways it always seemed like something gets in the way when I want to do something constructive. Like this sickness. Of course it is most often my own procrastination that does me in, or laziness if you prefer. For example look at my blog. I still haven't fixed the template even though I'm on my computer all the time, and Dave sent me a copy of his to work from. It's truly sad.

I need to start making lists like I did at work. They reminded me of stuff to do that I had inevitably forgotten, and I really like to cross stuff off my list. Sometimes I would do something, then write it on my list, then cross it off.

Another hurdle is coming up this week though. My sister and her family are driving up from Vancouver Island to visit us. It's a great thing as my family hasn't seen her kids in three years. I saw them last year when Shani and I went to the Island. But it seems unlikely that I'll get any peace to do anything while they are here. On top of this Shani's mom is going to be passing through on her way back to the Island so it should be an interesting week.

Well I think that's enough for now. The computer room is like an oven right now, and my computer is being very slow for some reason :)
