The end of March 2022 marks the end of the quarter, and I can’t help feeling the year is over. Though I suppose my first 12 Week Year is. It’s left me feeling tired and a bit irritable.
My medium sized drama minor surgery has turned out well in the end. Though I find the more I’ve done “nothing” the more I want to do nothing.
Which may also be partly mourning the loss of the extension. The builder indicated a price rise of 15% which took the extension out of our price range. The one they were pricing for their fixed quote. Unfortunate timing indeed.
Though I did clean out my Filing Cabinet, so that was a big win, and put a new short story up. Eased out of my Summer Wardrobe, and planned out my Winter Wardrobe.
12 books ahead of schedule for my reading challenge; And read some books;
• Romancing Mister Bridgerton • Louisiana Longshot • The 12 Week Year for Writers • The Safe Place • The Most Beautiful Book in the World • Be Bold • The Happiness Choice • Homebody • Feng Shui That Makes Sense •
Q1 Goal Scores
A note on the scoring; the score is a percentage. Basically, the times I did the “work” divided by the times I planned to. According to the book, a “good” score is above 85%. While I am checking every week, I will only note the average here.
What with the whole FAIL thing, I stopped ticking off the tracking, and I’ll have more to say about that in a few days when it’s time to review the first quarter.
| Goals | SCORE | NOTES |
| #1: Stay Married to DB • Cook his favourite meals. • Do the chores that annoy him the most when they don’t get done. • Never move anything he puts down. | – | Not 0%, but not 100% either. The food has been good though. |

Really must get my shit together for April.
So that’s my March 2022, such as it was – how was march for you?
