Onward into October
Posted: October 2nd, 2017, 10:23 am
Righto, project Survive September seems on the whole to have succeeded, which means there is a whole new month ahead to deal with.
I'm hoping that October will offer a little more breathing space to catch up with myself. At this point there two major unknowns that will affect how demanding the month is going to be, but I think even if both resolve to the 'lots to do' option, it will be easier than September as there will be less travelling.
Work
1. Attend convention
2. One coaching trip
3. Eat miscellaneous administrative frogs that piled up while I was busy
4. Lead the first of four days of a course. This is the first unknown - registrations have been slow, so a decision is going to be made this week whether or not to cancel. I'm happy enough either way - it's a course I enjoy teaching, but I have enough on not to be bored without out it.
5. Go for tryout session with new choir. This is the second unknown. If they decide to offer me the conductor post and I decide to accept it, there will be lots of prep to do in Oct and Nov for a Jan start, especially since I will be away for all of December so need to get properly ahead of myself.
Play
1. Go to a couple of events put on by organisations I volunteer for. (Could have gone under volunteering, below, but these are the kinds of things I'd have joined in with before I got involved with the organisations)
2. Get together with friends B & E
Home/Health/Family
1. Regroup after bonkers September (sleep, eat better, do lots of laundry, etc)
2. See my brother
3. Continue garden tidying
4. Get back into upcycling project
Volunteering
1. Two committee meetings
2. Help other committee members with rationalisation of mailing lists
3. Design and implement new voucher scheme
That doesn't look too short of things to do, does it? Though when you have 'sleep' on your goals list for a month, that says something about your state of mind...
Best wishes to all YTSTers!
