What can I say about May 2022, except that it came and went way too quickly.
And I discovered there’s a world day for bees!
Clever Girl and I visited her best friend, and I took a solo trip into town for my transplant review – then did some shopping, caught a tram, a train, and a bus home to find I still had my visitor sticker stuck on my coat! So embaressing.
But that, and the election, made me think about leadership.
The inflation rate increased just after the election, so I started thinking about how to stay warm when you can’t afford to keep the heating on.
While I was there I had my diary cover engraved with an inspirational quote so it smells nice and leathery again. It’s also good to read it when I get a bit teary.
Started trying to journal again, but I haven’t managed to find the right time for it.
Throughout May 2022, I’ve been continuing with the 04:30 am wakeup experiment. It’s getting harder to get up early, but my mood and productivity are still fairly high. When it comes to bedtime, I haven’t managed to get to sleep earlier, so I’m not entirely sure it’s sustainable for me.
My “barefoot” sneakers arrived during the month, and I’ve enjoyed them so much I decided to get some boots for winter. Unfortunately, the first pair was supposed to be delayed for about eight weeks, so I ordered another (two weeks). The second came about a week later, and the first a couple of days after that. I have never had a pair of shoes that fit so perfectly from the first day that I have not had any blisters at all!
I enjoyed the local writer’s group, but it took a long break after my first group… Not to worry, back again next month.
Didn’t read much, but still ahead of my reading challenge schedule;
• The Usual Santas • On Reckoning • The Other Miss Bridgerton •
Q2 Goal Scores
A note on the scoring; the score is a percentage; the times I did the “work” divided by the times I planned to. A “good” score is above 85%. I check in every week, but I’ll only note the averages here.
| 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. | 92% | Let some chores slip, and did a bit of moving. |
| #2: lose 5.6 kg by April 3, 2022 • Eat smaller portions. • Don’t eat snacks. • No eating after 7 pm. | 55% | Even worse than last month – must get rid of that snacking habit. |
| #3: Stephen King Famous • Write 500 – 1,000 words every day. • Complete a novella each month. • Publish the novella the next month. | 128% | Looks good, though mainly because I took a course that was quite beavy in the writing. Published Dream House, and sent some work through to the publisher. |
Moving right along…
So, now May 2022 is over. How did you go?
